PPAC MEDIUM OR SECON D EARLY. 



[CONTINUED.) 



*HEROINE. Combines quantitj- and quality in a degree possessed by no other 

 variety. The Heroine is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, grows uniformly 

 about two and one-half feet high aud is literally 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., SI. 40 peck, $5.00 bushel. 



THE GENUINE FRENCH PEA, " PETIT POIS." The genuine small French 

 Pea. We have had frequent calls from customers for the real French Peas, such 

 as they have eaten in Paris. This we have succeeded in getting. The pods are 

 long and slim and contain 8 to 10 small peas of tender, delicate quality. The 

 vines are vigorous and branching, attaining a height of from 3 to 4 feet. This 

 variety is medium early, and extremely prolific. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., SI. 50 

 peck, So. 00 bushel. 



.\ LATE OR MAIN CROP PEAS .\ 



♦STRATAGEM. By many this variety is considered the best of the English 

 Peas. It is a dwarf, wrinkled, blue marrow, a very heavy cropper, and produces 

 large, well-filled pods of excellent flavor. Height, 2 feet. 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 

 30c. qt., SI. 50 peck, S5.00 bushel. 



"EVER-BEARING. A continuous bearing variety, which gives it especial value 

 for late summer and autumn use. Height, 3 feet; foliage large. Pods 3 to 4 

 inches long, producing 6 to 8 large wrinkled peas half an inch and over in diameter. 

 It should be sown considerably thinner than other kinds, else the vines will be- 

 come too crowded. (See cut.)

Henderson's New Pea 

 "VICTORY - ' 



BrPETER^ENDERSON^ 



A Dwarf, Wrinkled or Marrow 

 of surpassing flavor. 



♦VICTORY is a grand 



late variety of the 

 Shropshire Hero 



class. The strong, healthy branching vines are so vigorous, that 

 they must be planted thinly in order to secure best results. It pro- 

 longs the bearing season of dwarf peas, as thoroughly as the succession 

 now exists among tall sorts, right up to the time that Lima Beans 

 come in. It is entirely free from mildew, and is the peer of any variety for 

 productiveness, while the flavor of the peas is absolutely beyond criticism. 

 It grows only to a height of 3 feet, so that it needs but little or no "brushing." 

 The pod is handsome and always well filled with from 8 to 10 peas of most 

 attractive color, size and flavor. (See cut.) 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 

 SI. 75 peck, S6. 00 bushel. 

 PRIDE OF THE MARKET. Is a strong-growing Pea, 2 feet high, wonder- 

 fully productive. The pods are also of large size and handsome appearance, 

 and the peas are of splendid quality. 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., SI. 50 peck, 

 $5.00 bushel. 

 EVOLUTION. A main crop variety of fine flavor, growing about 3 feet in 

 height; pods and foliage rich dark green ; very hardy and prolific. The pods 

 are very large, scimeter-shaped and packed close with good-sized peas of 

 delicious, melting quality. This variety can be depended on for a main crop 

 or late sort, giving large pickings of peas after all others are done. 10c. 

 Y 2 pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., SI. 50 peck, $4.50 bushel. 

 BLACK-EYED MARROWFAT. An old-time favorite; large, handsome 

 pods; enormous cropper. Height, 5j^ feet. 10c. pt., 20c. qt., 75c. peck, 

 $2 50 bushel. 

 WHITE MARROWFAT. Similar to above, but a little finer quality. Height. 

 5>£ feet. 10c. pt., 20c. qt., 75c. peck, S2.50 bushel. 



PEAS, 



Edible Podded or Sugar* 



MELTING SUGAR. Grows to the height of 5 feet, bears a profusion of 

 irge, broad pods, which are so brittle that they snap without any string. It 

 should be used in much the same way as a Wax Bean. The pods when 

 cooked are very sweet and tender. 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c ql ., $2.50 peck. 



VERY DWARF SUGAR. Unusually dwarf, very similar in habit to the 

 American Wonder. The pods are beautifully crimped, are of unusual size 

 for such a small-growing sort, and are of exquisite, melting quality. 15o> 

 l , pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 peck. 



PEAS, BEANS and CORN we do NO T deliver free, but will do so if 5c. per pint or 10c. per quart is added to the price.
