 varieties. 



♦HORSFORD'S MARKET GARDEN. 

 A grand wrinkled variety, coming in be- 

 tween 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 liter- 

 ally packed with peas of a delicious sweet 

 flavor. 10c. % pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 

 peck, $6.00 bushel. 

 ♦ABUNDANCE. A second early variety, 

 attaining a height of 3 feet. Pods 3 to 3^ 

 inches long, roundish and well filled, con- 

 taining 6 to 8 lai-ge wrinkled peas of excel- 

 lent quality. This variety is remarkable 

 for branching directly from the roots.

 ♦THE HEROINE. This is the grandest 

 pea on the entire list, and is now offered 

 at a price that places it within the reach 

 of all. It should be in every garden, for it 

 is the greatest acquisition we have had in 

 new Peas in many years. Read what we 

 say about it, page 19. 15c. % pt., 25c. pt., 

 40c. qt., S2.50 peck. 

 ♦SHROPSHIRE HERO. This valuable, 

 new, second early wrinkled Pea is a de-

 Hero. It is a robust grower, about 3 feet 

 high, producing long, handsome and well- 

 filled pods in abundance. Flavor exquisite. 

 We recommend it. (See cut.) 10c. % P*->

Medium or ^ 

 Second Early, 



COriTHSiUED. 



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 and 

 other Continental cities. This we have 

 succeeded in getting, and now offer 

 the genuine "French Petit Pois." 

 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. 15c. % 

 pt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt. 



Edible Podded 



Sugar Peas. 



CHA'JPION OF ENGLAND. 



MELTING SUGAR. (Edible pods.) 

 It grows to the height of five feet, 

 bears a profusion of large, broad pods, 

 which are generally found in pairs, 

 and 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. 20c. % pt., 40c. pt., 75c. 

 qt., $4.00 peck. 



NEW VERY DWARF SUGAR PEA. 



(Edible pods.) It is unusually dwarf, 

 being very similar in habit to the well- 

 known American Wonder Pea. The 

 pods are beautifully crimped, are of 

 unusual size for such a small growing 

 sort, and are of exquisite, melting 

 quality. 30c. }/ 2 pt., 50c. pt., 80c. qt.
