O PEA. 



A dwarf main crop "wrinKled marro-w Pea. 

 Enormously prolific. Superb flavor. 



Juno Pea we esteem highly. It is a main 

 crop variety, of vigorous constitution, which 

 shows itself in the strong, handsome, branching 

 plant. It is 2 feet in height, requiring little or 

 no brushing. It produces an abundance of the 

 finest peas possible, the vines being actually 

 laden with pods. These are dark green, stout 

 and heavy, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the 

 finest quality, which so thoroughly fill the pod 

 as to make it almost cylindrical in shape. The 

 peas, too, possess the admirable merit of pre- 

 serving their tenderness and superb flavor long 

 after they are young, and also retain their at- 

 tractive dark green color when served at table. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. h pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



"We are just eating the last of your Juno Peas, and they 

 deserve all the praise you give them, andmore; their dark-leaved, 

 thick vines, loaded with peas, remained perfectly fresh, perfecting 

 every pod, during our intense heat, while other sorts fairly 

 shriveled up. The pods are thick and meaty, seemingly imper- 

 vious to the hot sun, keeping the peas in condition for the table 

 for a long time. The peas are,do plump and large, the pods so 

 well filled, the flavor so delictus, and the bearing season so long, 

 a combination of excellency rendering Juno the ideal Pea for 

 the home garden." — Mr^TR. H. EMERSON, 322 Main Street, 

 Jackson 



SEA PEA. 



It grows about 15 inches in height and is of 

 compact, short -jointed habit, thus requiring no 

 brushing or staking. The pods are remarkably 

 handsome, being gracefully curved and much 

 longer than any other early dwarf kind. They 

 are well filled, each containing 8 to 10 good- 

 sized wrinkled peas of exquisite quality, which, 

 when cooked, are rich, sugary, and of marrow- 

 like flavor. Price, 10c. h pt.,' 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.85 pk., $7.00 bush. 



" The Chelsea Pea — put out by Peter Henderson & Co. — 

 while not the earliest, proved to be the best table pea we have had 

 this season. The pods are long and simply jammed full of rich 

 peas, and for the family garden it would be difiicult to find a 

 better."— THE AGRICULTURAL EPITOMIST. 



TELEPHONE PEA. 



A strong, refxuri ant-growing main crop variety, at- 

 taining a height of about 4i feet. It is exceedingly 

 prolific, averaging 18 pods to the stalk, while up to 

 24 to the stalk is not uncommon. The pods, the largest 

 of all varieties, are packed with immense wrinkled 

 marrow peas, 6 to 8 being the average, while 10 to 12 

 to a pod are frequently found. The quality is superb, 

 rich, sugary and meltingly tender. For family use 

 the Telephone Pea is without a peer. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. \ pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush. 



"Your Telephone Peas gave me great satisfaction; people have 

 come for miles, having heard of their great production. Several who 

 have been gardening allJneir lives say they never saw peas to equal 

 them. We have repeatedly counted 22 to 24 pods to a stalk, and 

 they average 8 to 12 /peas per pod, the peas being as large as hazel 

 nuts before they lose/heir grand flavor." 



JT H. W. BILLARD, Gravesend, L. I., N. Y. 



Champion or England. 



We herewith offer a select strain of this grand old 

 favorite, too well known to require extended descrip- 

 tion. It is a main crop and late variety of vigorous 

 growth, about 5 feet high, producing abundantly large 

 pods of immense Wrinkled Peas that are noted for 

 their tenderness and rich marrow-like flavor. To 

 equal in quality the Champion of England is the dis- 

 tinction attained bv very few Peas. Price, 10c. \ pt., 

 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $5.00 bush.
