PEAS. 
Elliott’s 
Earliest 
Market. 
In the selection of this 
variety we have made every 
possible effort to supply 
our customers with a pea 
that will equal the earliest 
in maturing, and at the 
same time combine all the 
good qualities to be found 
in peas. This variety grows 
feet high, and is very ro- 
bust. The pods, which are 
of large size, are produced 
in abundance and well filled 
with peas of the most excel- 
lent quality. Rich and sug- 
ary. The extreme earliness 
and uniformity in ripening 
the crop render this the 
most valuable variety for 
no variety excels the EI- 
' liott’s Earliest Market for 
the private garden. Price, 
per pt., 15 cts.; qt., 25 cts., 
pk., $1.25. 
Chelsea. 
An extra early dwarf va- 
riety of great merit; grows 
about 15 inches high and of compact, short jointed habit; it is as 
early as American Wonder and gives a much larger crop, bearing 
an abundance of handsome pods, which are half as long again as 
those of any other first early dwarf variety. The pods are usually 
produced in pairs, remarkably well filled, and contain eight to ten 
good sized peas of rich, sugary, marrow-like flavor. Seed wrinkled 
and white. Pt. 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts.; pk., $2.50. 
PEAS, ELLIOTT’S EARLIEST MARKET. 
_ Juno. 
_ A main crop variety of British origin, and is one of the few sorts 
from that source that are capable of withstanding the extreme tem- 
perature of the American climate. Of vigorous constitution which 
shows itself in the strong, handsome, branching plant. _ This-variety 
_ grows 2 feet high, requiring little or no bushing, though being a 
 free-clinging variety it is helped by support. The vines are actually. 
laden with stout, heavy, slightly curved, dark green pods containing 
from seyen to nine peas of the finest quality, which so thoroughly fill 
the pods as to make it almost cylindricalin shape. The peas preserve 
their tenderness and superb flavor long after they are young, and also 
retain their attractive dark green color when served at the table. 
Pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts.; pk., $2.50. 
-Nott’s Excelsior. 
A very fine new extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, and while not 
so early as American Wonder by a few days, they are all ready for 
_ ELLIOTT’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1896. 
very uniform, about 2% - 
the market gardener, and 
picking at one time. The pods are remarkably well filled, each con- 
taining six to eight large peas of unusually sweet flavor, and so 
closely packed in the pods that they are flattened against each other 
similar to the Potato Lima. We would recommend both the private 
and market gardener to test this superb variety thoroughly as we are 
convinced that it is a sort of special merit, and has surely ‘‘come to 
stay.” Per pint, 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts.; peck, $2.00. 
TOMATO 
New Imperial.—The Earliest of All. 
This new tomato originated with an experienced market gar- _ 
dener, by a cross between the Dwarf Champion and Beauty, and in 
color it is between the two. The originator of this sort says: “T 
have tested it with over one hundred of the so-called earliest and 
best varieties, and have never yet found one as early, and I can state 
positively that the New Imperial is the smoothest, most solid, with 
fewest seeds, the handsomest, longest keeper, and twice as productive 
_ as any tomato now on the market. The fruit ripens evenly to the 
stem without cracking, and has been kept on the vines 60 days after 
ripe. The market or private gardener will find this sort to excel all 
other tomatoes yet introduced. Packet, 10 cts.; 0z., 50 cts,

BEET, NEW COLUMBIAN. 
BEET. 
New Columbian. 
A distinct, new beet, round, smooth skinned, very early and of 
great uniformity, both in roots and tops. Tested beside the Eclipse, 
this sort proved equally as early, and of far superior quality. The 
flesh is fine grained and deep blood-red color. An excellent sort for 
either the private or market gardener. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.;
