CLEVELAND'S ALASKA. The earliest blue pea, very 

 uniform in growth. The dark green color of the pods makes 

 It extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distances 

 without losing color, which quality, combined with its earli- 

 ness and uniformity of ripening, makes it a most desirable 

 extra early pea for market gardeners; height, two feet.

* HEROINE. The Heroine is a green wrinkled pea; 

 grows uniformly about two and one-half feet high and is lit- 

 erally covered with its long, heavy, pointed poils— in fact, so 

 striking and distinct is this variet.v that.it would be picked 

 out at once in a field of one hundred other varieties. We 

 have often seen pods with eight to ten peas, an<l sometimes 

 twelve. The quality of this pea is simply perfection — that 

 rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the peas grown 

 in the gardens of Old England are celebrated. Pkt., 5c.; pint, 

 15c.; qt., 30e.; peck, »1.-J5 ; bush., M.7o.

 nounced, by all growers who have tested it, the most valu- 

 able acquisition in new peas made in recent years. It is a 

 medium early, large wrinkled pea; a robust grower; two 

 feet in height, producing its large pods in abundiince. The 

 pods are larger and better filled than Stratagem, Telephone 

 and othersof its class, each containing eightto tenfine, large 

 peas of e-xquisite flavor. We recommend this variety highly.

 market or family use. Vines vigorous, three to four feet
