NEW ENGLISH 
MARROW PEA, 
THE SENATOR. 
Henderson's Dwarf Early Pea, 
MELTING MARROW. 
This is one of the best of the recent English introductions. 
Our stock has been thoroughly acclimatized and perfectly 
selected, and is therefore admirably adapted for culture in the U.S. 
It is peculiarly fitted to resist the trying weather conditions of 
the American summer, and yet it retains all the fine qualities of 
flavor and tenderness which have made English peas so famous. 
Henderson’s Melting Marrow Pea is early, but not the 
earliest Pea grown; it follows immediately after the extra early 
sorts, thus filling in the gap between these and the midsummer 
varieties, though by successive sowings Melting Marrow Peas 
may be long enjoyed. 
The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 
inches high, with sturdy branching stalks that are practically 
self-supporting, so that trellis or brush is not essential, though 
low brush or crossed sticks, if convenient, will not be misapplied. 
The massive pods are produced in prodigal abundance from 
ground to summit, and are packed with from six to eight im¬ 
mense wrinkled marrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is 
maintained when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive 
when served, while the delicious quality and superb rich flavor 
is unequaled by any Pea of American origin. (See cut.) Price, 
10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bu. 
‘ Your new dwarf pea, Melting Marrow, is certainly the finest pea in 
existence. 1 do not believe there is another pea that can compare with it for 
earliness, size and flavor. I made the first planting on May loth, and on 
June 29th (just 45 days), I picked the first 7ness, and they were the sweetest, 
tenderest and most delicious peas that we ever tasted. They are all and more than 
you clqim for them” 
LLOYD H. SANDS, Tolona, Ills. 
Americans visiting England during “green pea season” are delighted 
with the surpassing quality of the English Marrow Peas; appetizing, 
rich, tender, sweet and satisfying; once tasted, always remembered! 
Most varieties of these luscious English Peas are very exclusive. 
Having been bred in a cool, moist climate, they resent heat and 
drought. Yet, occasionally among our extensive annual trials we 
find a variety that thrives under our American conditions. Such 
a one is The Senator, which we have grown for four years to 
further test and acclimate it, and now offer it to our patrons with 
full confidence that it will give thorough satisfaction in every section 
where peas thrive. 
The Senator Pea grows from 3 to 4 feet high and bears a 
surprisingly large quantity of large, handsome pods, filled almost to 
bursting with great succulent peas — as big as small marbles — and of 
superb quality, which is maintained even through the hot, trying 
weeks of July. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt.; 25c. pt.; 40c. qt.; $2.75 
peck. 
Henderson's HEROINE PEA. 
Peas large, very prolific, often 10, sometimes 12 peas to a pod. 
Delicious, melting quality. 
Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, combining quan¬ 
tity and quality in a degree surpassed by no other variety. It grows 
uniformly about 2J feet high, and is literally covered with its long, 
heavy, pointed pods. The quality of this pea is simply perfection— 
that rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the peas grown in the 
gardens of Old England are celebrated. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. 
qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 
" This is the first year I have grown your Heroine Pea and I think it is a wonder . 
Miss liitch asked me to send them some nice peas for some special occasion. I sent the 
Heroine, and I was sent for to give them the name of the peas—they were so relished. 
They do well as a second crop and are long-bearing.”
