flEW PEA, 



"QUEE^." 



We are indebted to Europe for some of our very best 

 peas, but not all the new varieties introduced there suit 

 our climate. This new variety, however, is one of the 

 few really fine peas that resist the long droughts which 

 we sometimes experience. We have found it to stand 

 well under the scorching rays of the sun, and it is not 

 subject to mildew. It is a green, wrinkled, main crop 

 variety growing to about two to two and one-half feet in 

 height. The pods are very large, slightly curved, pro- 

 duced mostly in pairs, and all over the vine from bottom 

 to top. The peas are large, oval, deep green, and of a 

 delicious flavor when cooked. They are so packed in the 

 pods that when opened it would almost seem impossible 

 that they could be contained in the pod. The vines are 

 very sturdy, and being of a branching habit, this variety 

 can be sown more thinly than most varieties. Its season 

 is just right to succeed the Heroine, as it comes into 

 bearing when that splendid variety is about finished. We 

 feel that we cannot do better than quote the opinion of 

 that veteran pea grower, Mr. J. M. Cleveland, of Jefferson 

 County, N. Y., regarding this new pea: "I received a 

 package of your QUEEN Pea last spring for trial. I have 

 given special attention to new varieties of peas for over 

 forty years and have tested nearly all the peas grown in 

 this country. I do not exaggerate when I say that it is 

 the best pea to grow in a family garden for the table that 

 I ever saw. I congratulate you on being the first to place 

 a pea of this character before the American people, and I 

 predict for it a grand future." (See cut.)

HE^OI^E PEA. 



No new pea since the introduction of " American Wonder " has created such 

 a sensation. Every one who sees it wants it — seedsman, market gardener and 

 amateur. It is far superior to all other varieties of peas, as it combines 

 quantity 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-hall 

 feet high and 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. The cut here shown by no means conveys 

 the natural size. We have often seen pods with eight to ten peas, and some- 

 times twelve. 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.)
