FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 61 
stock I sell is as good as any sold in the 
country, not surpassed by any, no mat- 
ter whose name is put before ‘‘Extra 
Early.”’ 
Early Washington, Early May 
or Frame, which are all nearly the 
same thing; is about ten days later than 
the Extra Early. Itis very ;roductive 
and keeps longer in bearing than the 
foregoing kind. Pods a little smaller. 
Very popular about New Orleans. 
Tom Thumb. Very dwartish and 
quite productive. Can becultivated in 
rows a foot apart ; requires no branches 
or sticks. ¥' 
Laxtom’s Alpha. ‘This is a variety 
of reeent introduction ; it is the earliest 
wrinkled variety in cultivation; of deli- 
cious flavor and very prolific. This va- 
riety deserves to be reeommended toall 
who like a first-class pea. It will come 
into general cultivation when better 
known. 
American Wonder. A wrinkled 
pea of dwarf growth, 10 to 12 inches; 
it is prolific, early, and of fine quality ; 
it comes injafterjthe Extra Early.

early dwarf variety; very stout and 
branching; requires no sticks but sim- 
ply the earth drawn around the roots.

quality. 
Champion of England. A green, 
wrinkled variety of very fine flavor; not 
profitable for the market, but recom-

other green, wrinkled variety, about two 
weeks earlier than the foregoing kind.

ond early, and can be recommended 
for the use of market gardeners, being 
very prolific. 
Eugenie. A white wrinkled variety, 
of fine flavor; it is of the same season 
as the Advancer. Cannot be too highly 
recommended for family use. 
Carter’s Stratagem. This is a 
new wrinkled variety from England, 
sold by me for the first time two years 
ago. It is very distinct in vine and foli- 
age, growing thick and large, does not 
need any support. It is the latest variety 
ever brought out, pods 4—54 inches 
long, which cannot be surpassed in fla- 
vor, and is very productive. Recommend 
it highly. 
Carter’s Telephome. Another 
wrinkled English late variety; grows 
about from 43 to 5 feet high. The pods 
are very long containing from 8—12 fine 
flavored Peas. It is productive; will 
bear twice as much as the Champion of
