DELICIOUS NEW PEA— SUTTON'S SATISFACTION. 



Encouraged by the success of our introduction to the American public, a few years since, of the New 

 English peas. Stratagem, Telephone and Pride of the Market, we sent to England and obtained seed of 

 several more new English sorts, which were highly recommended by the English seedsmen. This 

 variety from the Messrs. Sutton, thelargest retail seedsmen of Great Britain, has proven the best of all the 

 English varieties we have ever tested, and although only first introduced by us last year, we have 

 received hundreds of testimonial letters from customers pronouncing them the most important novelty in 

 peas introduced for many years. Their table qualities are the most toothsome and delicious flavored of 

 any known variety of either American or foreign origin. This is high praise, but does only justice to 

 the Satisfaction Pea. The vine grows vigorously to a height of about two and one-half feet, requiring 

 no brush or sticks to hold them up, being very stocky and robust, and literally filled with large showy 

 pods, as shown in our illustration above, which almost hide completely their dark green foliage. They 

 follow closely our best extra early sorts, being ready for the table in flfty-six days from germination, 

 and continue in bearing longer than any other early sort. The peas when green are unusually large and 

 of fine deep green color ; when dry are very distinct in appearance, being much m^ore wrinkled than 

 any other sort. Sutton's Satisfaction has come to America to stay, not half-way up the ladder, but at the 

 very topmost round— your garden will not be complete without them. Pkt, 15c.; 2 pkts., 25c.; pint,
