New Giant Podded Marrow 



Can be Used at 



The Hardiest Large Podded Pea 

 all Seasons. 



Since our intro- 

 duction of this fine, 

 newsemi-wrinlcled 

 green pea, a few 

 years since, the de- 

 mand from market 

 gardenei-s has been 

 so great that we 

 have sold out be- 

 fore the season was 

 half over. In anti- 

 cipation of a still 

 greater demand, 

 we doubled our 

 acreage this season 

 and hope to be able 

 to supply all late 

 demands. The 

 vines grow about 

 two feet high and 

 bear enormous 

 handsome pods, as 

 shown in photo- 

 graph alongside, 

 frequently seven to 

 eight inclies in 

 length. The pods 

 are completely 

 filled witli large 

 de licio n sly-fla- 

 vored, deep-green 

 peas. The.v require 

 no support, owing 

 to their d warf, 

 stocky habit. Ow- 

 ing to the iuaniense 

 size of pods and 

 peas, we know (if

GI.\XT PODDED 3I.\EROW. 



New Mammoth Podded Prolific 

 Sugar Pea 



The Largest and Best of the Edible Podded Sorts. 



A new and superior edible podded or "snap"' pea, and 

 the best yet. It excels, by far, any other edible podded pea 

 heretofore introduced. In all of our experience we have 

 never seen anything in the line of sugar peas that would 

 equal thi-; variety in enormous pods (see illustration for com- 

 parison Pod No. 16, on preceding page), productiveness and 

 quality. The pods are larger, broader and more melting than 

 the Melting Sugar, and it is equally as early. The peas are 

 dral>-eolored when ripe, extra large and wrinkled. The pods 

 are very fleshy and equal to the best snap beans for cooking, 

 pod and all. The vines average about thirty-si.x inches 

 high; when grown without trellis or brushing they are 

 strong and rank. One of the largest and most experienced 

 growers of seed peas, who grew it, writes as follows : " I 

 believe this to be an improvement o%'er the Melting Sugar 

 Pea, because of its great productiveness, as well as its fine 

 quality and superior size. The fact that it is a bountiful pro- 

 ducer ought to bring it rapidly in general favor, especially 

 as an improvement in the yielding qualities is not at the 

 expense of eating quality." Pkt.. 15c.: pint, 45c.; qt., 80c.,

-INf.I.K PI,.\ST OK KOBY KING PEPPER. 



KUBT KING. This fine pepper grows to double the 

 size of Bull Nose. The fruits are five to six inches long by 

 about three and one-half inclies through, of a bright red. 

 They are remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor, having no 

 fiery taste. Single plants ripen from eiglit to ten fruits. The 

 best red pepper. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25e.; Vi lb., 75c.; lb., 32.50. 



MAHEVIOTH GOLDEN QUEEN. Originated on our 

 own grounds, where we first found a single plant growing 

 in a large field of Ruby King some years ago. It grows fully 

 lis large as Ruby King and to twice the size of Golden Dawn, 

 of the most perfect shape and anifonn large size. They grow 

 from fifteen to twenty perfect fruits on a plant, from eight to 

 ten inches long and four to five inches through. In color 

 they are bright, waxy, golden yellow, and so mild in flavor 

 they can be eaten like tomatoes, with pepper and vinegar. 

 They sell in market at dotible the prices of other sons, and are 

 exceedingly valuable for stuffing as mangoes. This pepper, 

 which we first introduced, has been i-ecently offered as a 

 novelty under the name of Golden King. Pkt., 10c. ; oz. , 

 oOc; 14 lb., 75c.; lb., §2.75. 



ELEPBtAXT'S TRUNK. Very di.stinct in shape and of 

 mammoth size, reseml>ling the trunk of an elephant. Fruits 

 glossy scarlet, measuring ten to twelve inches in length by 

 two and a half inclies in breadth; of mild, pleasant flavor. 

 Thev are ornamental and useful. Pkt., lOc; oz., 35c.; }i 

 lb., SI.OO. 



RED CLUSTER. This new pepper is a sport of the 

 Chili, which it slightly resembles. The leaves and fruits are 

 smaller, while it is much more productive, the fruits being 

 curiously crowded together. The peppers are verj' hot, long 

 and verv thin in .shape, and of conspicuous coral red color. 

 Pkt., lOc; oz., 30o.; % lb., 75c.; lb., $2.75.
