Henderson's Famous Prosperity Pea 1
(ILLUSTRATED ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE)
The Earliest, Largest, Highly Flavored Pea Grown
The Best of All Peas May be on Your Table Early in June
The pleasure one enjoys in anticipating the first pickings of delici-
ous Peas is very quickly realized after planting Henderson' Pros-
perity. Until its introduction, the small podded sorts were all that
could be had so early. While in many respects these are excellent,
they are comparatively poor in flavor. The problem of good early
Peas was finally and completely solved many years ago when we
introduced Prosperity. This really remarkable variety still holds
its place, quite unique among the numerous Peas on the market.
It is very gratifying to the grower to be able to supply the table
with such delicious Peas as early as the first week in June. Indeed,
one of our customers (quoted on this page), picks them as early as
May 31st, 55 days from time of sowing.
The immense size of the pods, borne in such great profusion and
so liberally filled, insures a bountiful supply at all times. Its pro-
lific character is established by its success in the market garden,
where the problem of filling the basket is of primary importance.
Its value is simply but eloquently told in the testimonial we print
on this page.
Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-
podded sorts, as the vine is single-stemmed and consequently
occupies less room than the heavier growing, branching varieties.
This is really one of its valuable features, for its large crop is pro-
duced in a comparatively small space. The vines are three feet high,
pale green in color; the pods are borne singly and freely from top
to bottom of the vine and contain from six to ten Peas of delicious
quality, fully as large and as rich in flavor as Telephone and weeks
earlier.
Continuous, careful selection, patiently and intelligently practised
from year to year, has enabled us to keep our stock free from the
small podded vines that are common to all the large sorts, so that
Prosperity is now better than ever. (See cuts on opposite page and
below.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck.
GREEN PEAS ON DECORATION DAY
"Wrinkled Peas have always been planted later than the hard shells, and you so
advise, but your Prosperity Pea constitutes an absolute exception. For the past
seven years-the natives have laughed at me planting my Prosperity Peas in March,
and again when the ground froze over the seed. Every year I have to go out and
brush the snow off the young vines at times, and 1 have been called funny things,
but every year without injury to a single vine, we have enjoyed dishes of Prosperity
Peas when my neighbors' were commencing to bloom. Decoration Day Peas are no
new stunt with me, and this year I ate green Peas 65 days from seed. The qual-
ity of Prosperity is also superior." HENRY M. LUMMIS,
Chatham, N. J.
HEROINE PEA
Heavy Cropper Large Curved Pods
Delicious Marrow Flavor
When in England, one is struck with the particularly rich flavor
of the Peas grown there. In that temperate climate they acquire
a flavor rarely attained under our less favorable conditions.
But Heroine is so constituted that it flourishes in our hot summers
and retains its native flavor, so that with this variety one may
rival the British product in his own garden. We can give it no
stronger recommendation. .
It is 2 J^ feet high and bears an abundant crop of large, well filled
pods at the height of the season. (See cut on opposite page.) Price,
10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck.
"This is the first year I have grown your Heroine Pea and I think it is a
wonder. Miss Rich asked me to send them some nice peas for some special oc-
casion. 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." HENRY KENWARD,
Stamford, Conn.
MELTING MARROW PEA
Dwarf, Early, Easily Grown, Pods Large
Peas Delicious. Equal to any Tall, Later Sorts
One of the newer dwarf varieties that produces Peas equal
in size and rich, "melting marrow" flavor to the best of the
later sorts. It is admirable for a second early crop, and is so
vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, that it may be safely
relied on, not only for early use, but for successive sowings
throughout the entire season when Peas can be grown. The
pods are very large and are produced in prodigal abundance.
They are always bountifully filled with very large Peas of a
rich, inviting green color, of perfect flavor. It is one of the
easiest to care for. The vines are only 15 or 18 inches high, so
that it does well without support. (See cut on opposite page.)
Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt, $2.00 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck.
"7 have just had my first picking from Melting Marrow Peas, the seed of
which I bought from you this spring. They are the finest Peas I have ever
grown or eaten." EDWARD GILLETT,
Southwick, Mass.
"Last year we planted one pint of Melting Marrow Peas and we picked
over two bushels of the loveliest Peas we ever ate. They yielded a great crop
and we certainly enjoyed them." Mrs. H. S. MORSE,
East Berlin, Conn.
TELEPHONE PEA
The Standard Large Podded Late Pea
Delicious Quality Enormous Pods
One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the market for
nearly forty years and is better today than ever before. The plant
is about five feet high and bears a heavy crop of enormous pods,
well filled with large Peas of delicious quality, rich in flavor, tender
in quality and most attractive in appearance. The vines, while tall,
are not heavy and require but little support. (See cut on opposite page.)
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.
"The Telephone Pea we bought of you has done fine. We had them for our
table July 15th, the finest without exception we ever ate. Another year I shall have
more of them." Mrs. WM. LEIGHTON, 14 Holt St., Concord, N. H.
