41 American Wonder 
American Wonder is one of the earliest of the 
wrinkled varieties. It is quite distinct from 
all other peas in habitof growth and appear- 
ance, the vines being unusually robust and 
stocky, of dwarf habit, with vines less than a 
foot high. In favorable weather and soil it will 
mature in the remarkably short period of 42 
days, but it is less hardy than Maule’s Earliest 
of Ali, and must not be planted as soon. It 
makes most rapid growth immediately after 
the soil has become somewhat warm. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 
45 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, 
not prepaid, quart, 30 cents; 4 quarts, 
$1.10; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 
s23 Shropshire Hero 
This wrinkled pea is one of our greatest lead- 
ers, and we do not think there is a better late 
variety now under cultivation. It attains a 
height of about 214 feet, and is esteemed for good 
quality and ~roductiveness. The pods are long, 
handsome aa_ wonderfully well filled, and are 
produced in great abundance. The peas are of 
unusually large size and delicious flavor; eight 
to ten tothe pod. Wearegreatly pleased with 
the behavior of Shropshire Hero in our trial 
grounds, and feel that it cannot be over praised 
as astandard latesort. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 
25 ets.; quart, 45 cts., postpaid. By express 
4 quarts, $1.10; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 
«s Prolific Early Market Pea 
The Most Productive Extra Early Market Sort 
We offered this grand pea in 1901 for the first time, quoting the 
introducer to the effect that while it was 3 to 4 days later than the 
first early sorts, it was 30 to 50 per cent. more prolific. 
The introducers, Messrs. N. B. Keeney & Son, prominent New 
York pea growers, thus speak of it: ‘‘Several years ago the writer |] 
selected a very productive plant of an extra early pea, having an || 
From this was produced what we call \ 
Our tests of this pea showed it to blossom J]! 
two days later than our earliest and best strain of Extra Early, {jj 
and in the development of pods suitable for picking, 3 or 4 days \! 
behind; but of remarkable productiveness, giving a yield of 30 to |/IH!// 
50 per cent. more pods than any other strain of extra earlies we ||ij|| 
know of.’’ A desirable extra early sort for home or market gardeners. }}

THE SHERWOOD PEA. 
43 Surprise 
This is one of the best of the wrinkled peas, 
and is to-day one of the most famous. It 
has made an enviable reputation within the 
| brief time that it has been on the market; in 
fact, it has sprung into universal popularity. 
It is about as early as the smooth varieties, 
and far superior to them in both quality 
and yield. Itranks with the very earliest of 
the wrinkled sorts, not even excepting Gradus 
or Laxtonian. Pods are smaller than Gradus, 
| butare more numerous. The vine grows 20 to 
| 24 inches high, and requires no sticks. The Sur- 
prise pea has attracted universal attention, and 
has everywhere made a splendid record for 
both quality and quantity. Its sweetness is 
noteworthy, and it bears with a profusion that 
is truly remarkable. Its extreme earliness 
makes it one of the most profitable market 
peas ever introduced, and nothing superior toit 
is available for the family garden.
