This is the large, beautiful Onion that is seen every fall oftered 
for sale at the fruit stores in New York and other large cities.

12 to 14 inches in circumference. Although of such great 
size, it is very hard and an excellent keeper. The flavor 
is mild and delicate, making the Prize Taker a 
favorite variety for slicing for salads. (See cut.)

The Admiral: heaviest cropping early Pea extant. This 
wrinkled variety grows to a height of from 314 to 4feet. The- 
pods are about the size of our First of All, are borne in great pro- 
fusion from top to bottom of the vine and are well packed with 
large peas of very sweet flavor. This is a very desirable and 
distinct variety, and should find a place in every garden, whether 
for market or private use. Itis also a variety that is eminently 
‘suited for canning. Price, 60 cts. per pt.; $1.00 per qt. 
The Don: This is a new variety, which was awarded a 
First-Class Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 
land. It is a deep green, wrinkled sort, produces an abundant- 
crop of large, square-ended, well-filled pods. These are literally 
crowded with fine, large peas of delicious flavor. It grows about. 
4 feet high and comes into bearing between the second early 
varieties and the general or main crop. Price, 60 cts. per pt.; 
$1.00 per qt. 
The Mayor: A main crop, green wrinkled variety 
of great merit. It grows to a uniform height of about 
three feet, is very prolific; the pods are large and tightly 
filled with seven to ten peas of immense size, and 
of a rich, buttery flavor. For a general or main crop 
this is one of the best varieties that has come 
under our notice for some time. Price, 60 cts. per 
pt.; $1.00 per qt. SPECIAL.—One pint of 
each of the above valu- 
able Peas for $2.00.

NEW PHA, “CHELSEA.” 
This fine new Dwarf Pea will be appreciated by all growers of early dwarf kinds, 
owing to its remarkable earliness and splendid quality. The plant grows one foot in 
height, and is of compact, short-jointed habit; it is as early as American Wonder and 
earlier than Little Gem, and gives a much larger crop than eithér of these sorts, bear- 
ing in pairs from the bottom to the top an abundance of handsome pods, which 
are half as long again as those of any other first early dwarf kind. The pods are 
remarkably hand- 
some, having a grace- 
fulcurve. They are 
well filled, each con- 
taining eight to ten 
good-sized peas of 
first-rate quality, 
which, when cooked, 
are rich, sugary, and 
ofmarrow-like flavor. 
(See cut.) The peas 
are white wrinkled q 
in the dry state. NEW PEA, ‘‘( HELSEA.” 
Price, 50 cts. per pt.; 75 cts. per qt. 
NEW VERY DWARF SUGAR PEA. 
The adjoining illustration shows one of the most distinct little nov— 
elties that has come under our notice for a longtime. As will be seen. 
itis unusually dwarf, being very similar in habit to the well known 
merican Wonder Pea. The pods are beautifully crimped, are of 
nusual size for such a small growing sort, and are of exquisite, 
melting quality. Of recent years the demand has increased very 
much for Sugar Peas in this country, and we feel sure that this little 
_ variety will be welcome, as it has a great advantage from the fact. 
that it does not require brushing or staking as other Sugar Peas do. 
(See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt.; 40 ets. per 1, pt.; 75 cts. per pt.; $1.25 per qt-
