EXTRA EARLY AND EARLY PEAS. 



ott's Excelsior. The best dwarf wrinkled pea. It is so hardy and vigorous that it may be safely planted nearly 

 or quite as early in spring as the smooth varieties, and will mature almost as soon; and the superior flavor of a

 than round. The peas are at all times tender and of fine flavor. In sweetness and quality this variety is unsur-
