Henderson's Heroine Pea.
•HEROINE. Combines quantity and quality in
a deyree possessed by no other variety. The
Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, grows
uniformly about two and one-half feet high and is liter-
ally covered with its long, heavy, pointed pods — in fact,
so striking and distinct is this variety that it would be
picked out at once in a field of one hundred other
varieties. In the cut we show the size and form
of the peas, which come eight or nine in a pod.
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. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt.,
30c. qt., $1.40 peck, $5.00 bushel.

• HORSFORD'S MARKET GARDEN. A grand
  

wrinkled variety, coming in between Little Gem
and Advancer. The vines are two feet high,
very regular in growth. It is a prolific bearer,
and has yielded more shelled peas per acre than
any other American variety. The pods, although
of medium size, are numerous, and are literally
packed with peas of a delicious, sweet flavor.
(See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.25 peck,
$4.00 bushel.
