American Wonder. A wrinkled pea 

 of dwarf growth; lo to 12 inches; is prolific, 

 early, of fine quality, and comes in after the 

 Extra Early. 



Bishop's Dwarf I/Ong Pod. An early 

 dwarf variety ; very stout and branching, re- 

 quires no sticks but simply the earth drawn 

 around the roots. It is productive and of 

 excellent quality. 



Blue Beauty. This early variety is 

 really one of the best, ever introduced^ here. 

 Since it was first brought to the notice of 

 our Truck farmers here a little over two 

 years ago, the demand for it has been 

 steadily increasing, and there is no doubt but 

 that the Blue Beauty will become our prin- 

 cipal market and shipping variety. We 

 may class it among our earliest ones as it 

 comes in bearing with the Washington, but 

 does not grow quite as tall. The Peas are 

 of a fine blueish green color, resembling the 

 Alaska very much except in size, they are 

 larger. 



This variety cannot be too highly recom- 

 mended. 



Champion of England. A green 

 wrinkled variety of very fine flavor; not 

 profitable for the market, but recommend- 

 ed for fami.lyuse.

 green, wrinkleo variety, about two weeks 

 earlier than the foregoing kind. 



Mcl/can's I/ittle Gem. A dwarf 



wrinkled variety. It is early, very prolific 

 and of excellent flavor. Requires no sticks. 



I/axton's Prolific l/ong Pod. A green 

 marrow pea of good quality. Pods are long 

 and well filled. It is second early, and can 

 be recommended for the use of market 

 gardeners, being very prolific. 



Eugenie. A white wrinkled variet}-, of 

 fine flavor: it is of the same season as the 

 Advancer, Cannot be too highly recom- 

 mended for family use.

 ty from England. It is very distinct in vine

and foliage; growing thick and large, does 

 not need any support. It is the I^argest 

 Podded variety ever brought out, pods 

 4-5)^ inches long, which cannot be surpas- 

 sed in flavor, and is very productive. Re- 

 commended it highly.

 led English late variety; grows about from 

 4K 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
