they were as full, wrinkled, and 
sweetas any late Pea I ever tasted, 
better than even the‘ Champion of 
England,’ which has been always 
my ‘hobby. They areallyou claim, 
and in future I do not intend to 
plant any other kind.’ 
CHARLES W. BOWMAN, 
Brownsville, Pa. 
“My ‘Prosperity’ Peas are a 
sight to behold. I picked mv first 
of them on the 7th of this month, 
picked from the small early ones 
the 6th, just one day ahead. When 
they become known, they will dis- 
place all other early Peas. I 
planted them the same day as the 
extra early ones, which was the 
W7th of March. They will surely 
become the standard early Peas, 
as good as the best, and as early as 
the earliest.” ROBERT BIRCH, 
Market Gardener, 
Plymouth, Mich. 
“ The‘ Prosperity’ PeasI bought 
of you Jast year were wonders 
for'size ofpod, earliness and produc- 
tiveness.” JOHN E. BARRELL, 
York Corner, Me. 
“The ‘Prosperity’ Peas I got 
from you are the best yielding 
Peas I ever saw; the pods were 
from six to eight inches long, and 
nine to ten Peas in a pod.” 
JOHN S. FINK, 
Strinestown, Pa. 
“T have never had such good 
seeds as I got from you. Your 
new ‘1897’ or ‘Prosperity’ Pea 
was the finest and the most pro- 
ductive that I ever saw.” 
Miss ANNIE SPEAR, 
North Scituate, Mass. 
“T sent to you for some of the 
‘Prosperity’ Pea last year, and 
can truly say they were the best 
Tever had.” Mrs. FE. KINGSLEY,

“Gentlemen :—I havealways had 
my own garden for sixty years 
past, and always made a specialty 
ot high grade Peas, and when I saw 
youradvertisement of ‘PROSPER- 
ITY’ PEAS, I ordered seed from 
you, and, when they blossomed, I 
did not think they would be very 
prolific producers, but, when the 
pods developed a Jength of 4% 
inches, as many did, I began to 
think differently,and, when shelled, 
turned out from eight to ten large 
Peas from a pod; they were a sur- 
prise. They are the earliest large 
Pea I ever knew; with early plant- 
ing they will mature here by the 
15th to 2th of June, as early as 
any of the small‘ buckshot’ sorts. 
They are the sweetest, tenderest, 
and most delicious Pea I ever ate.”’
