New Pioneer Dwarf Pea 



With Dark Green Giairt Pod 



This new, large podded, early wrinkled pea is in great favor 

 with market gardeners in all sections. The handsome large 

 pods, which are well filled with big peas of delicious flavor, 

 make it a good seller on the market stall. The vines are ex- 

 tremely vigorous, growing only fifteen to eighteen inches high, 

 with dark green foliage, and produce a wonderful crop of pods. 

 Pioneer is one of the earliest wrinkled peas, bearing its dark 

 green pods about the same time as Prosperity or Gradus, but 

 a much heavier cropper and of quality equally as good. Regret 

 crop very short this year. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 40 cents; qaart, 75 cents, postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, quart, 60 cents; 4 quarts, $2.25; peck, $4.00.

New Market Surprise Pea 



A Large Podded Extra Early Sort 



A new variety of great merit. First offered this season and 

 when generally known will be the popular extra early large 

 podded sort. It is extremely early, producing large pods in 

 abundance which are filled with luscious green peas. The 

 robust growing vines grow 2^ feet high, which require no 

 staking. This is the pea that all progressive gardeners 

 are looking for as it is very hardy, extremely early, large 

 podded and a prolific bearer, making it a quick basket filler. 

 The peas are of excellent flavor, sweet and delicious. 



We expect a heavy demand for this phenomenal extra early 

 pea, so we advise ordering early as we have only a limited sup- 

 ply. This is its first year and we regret that we cannot ofTer it 

 except by the packet and pint.
