NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Nott's 6xc<?lsior Pea 



The Best Dwarf Wrinkled Extra JB^arly 

 Variety ever introduced. 



This most excellent new pea was originated in Vermont 

 by Richard Nott, the well-known specialist. It is the best 

 of recent introductions, vines are larger and more vigorous 

 than the American Wonder; while the pods are fully one- 

 third larger, containing 6 to 8 fine, large peas, packed so 

 closely together in the pods that the peas are always more 

 square than round. The pods are always well filled with 

 peas, which, in sweetness and quality, have no equal, being 

 superior to any other wrinkled sort. Our supply is grown 

 from stock from the originator, and can be depended onas 

 being the true sort. Pkt., loc. ; pt,, 35c. ; qt., 60c., post-paid. 

 Ot, 45c.; peck, $2.75, by express.

This variety, which we offered for sale for 

 the first time last spring, was originated from 

 a seed-ball of the Early Rose by one of the 

 largest growers of that historic country, a 

 few miles north of Philadelphia, known as 

 Penn's Manor. It has been critically tested 

 on our trial grounds, and also planted by 

 some of the most extensive potato growers, 

 who all agree in saying they have never 

 found a hardier or more productive variety, 

 doubling the Early Rose in yield. The pho- 

 tograph above gives a good idea of its hand- 

 some shape and general appearance. It is 

 fuller at the ends, and has a skin in color a 

 lighter pink than Early Rose, ripening a few 

 days earlier, and with heavier foliage, which 

 withstands the beetle to a remarkable extent. 

 It also stood the severe drought of the past 

 summer at our Bucks County farm better 

 and produced more than any of the eight 

 varieties we grew there. Price, large tubers,
