 merit to recommend it. It is a blue, round pea. The pods

 filled. In qualit.v and flavor it cannot be surpas-sed by any

*THE HEROINE PEA. 



Since its introduction a few years since tliis new pea lias 

 given wonderful results. Every one who sees it wants 

 it. The Heroine is a green wrinkled pea ; growj 

 uniformly about two and one-half feet high and is literally 

 covered with its long, heavy, pointed pods — in fact, so strik- 

 ing and distinct is this variety that it would be picked out 

 at once in a field of one liundred otlier varietie.s. We have 

 often seen pods with eight to ten peas, and sometimes 

 twelve. The quality of thi-i pea is siinplv perfection — that 

 ricli, butter.v, marrow-like flavor for whicli the peas grown 

 in the gardens of Old England are celebrated. Pkt.lOc; 

 pint, 2.5c.; qt., 50c., post-paid; peck, $1.75; busli., $6.75. 



* SHROPSHIRE HERO. This grand, new pea is pro- 

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

 valuable 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 hirge pods in abundance. The 

 pods are larger and better filled thin Stratagem, Telephone 

 and others of i's class, each containing eight to ten fine large 

 Ijeas of exquisite flavor. We recommend this variety highly. 

 Pkt., lOc; pint, 3Jc.; qt., 5.5c.; peck, $2.25; bush., §8.00. 



SUTTON'S SATISFACTION PEA. 



This new variety is the most tender and delicious in flavor of any pea grown. It was introduced by us five years 

 ago, and surpasses in popularity even the famous Teleplione and Stratagem varieties. The vine grows vigorously to a 

 height of about two and one-half feet, requiring no brush or sticks to hold them up, being ver.v stocky and robust 

 and literally filled with good showy puds. Tiiey follow closely our best extra early sorts. The peas when green are 

 unusually large, and of fine deep green color; when dry are very distinct in appearance, being much more wrinkled 

 than any other sort. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c.; peck, $2..50; bush., $9.00.
