| The Giant of the Pea Family 
The Largest Podded, the Heaviest Cropper, the Greatest and Unrivaled Pea 
There are few varieties of seed in this seed book that are better named than this pea. Nothing 
more nearly expresses its one remarkable characteristic than its name Prodigious, when you con- 
sider that this variety will produce pods attaining the extraordinary length of 7 inches and upwards, | 
closely packed with 11 to 13 large, dark green peas of fine flavor. The plant is of branching habit, 
growing about 5 feet in height, with dark green foliage. Itis of very vigorous and robust consti- 
|\ tution, which enables it to withstand drought and mildew. The pods are produced in great pro- 
t fusion, mostly in pairs. Prodigious cannot be excelled as an exhibition sort, on account of its striking 
4 and very attractive appearance; and will also be in demand wherever there is a call for a pea of robust 
habit, fine quality and hardy constitution. Market gardeners who do not know Prodigious should 
give it atrial. There are thousands of our customers who will be delighted to show their friends such 
enormous pods of peas, the largest, by far, they have ever seen, which in addition to large size com- 
| bine rich and succulent flavor; matures in 72 days. There is an enormous demand for it from

495 Perpetual 
Ready for picking right after the Extra Earlies 
and continuing to bear large and handsome 
pods much longer than most varieties. 
It is more accurately named than any 
other pea in the list, and for the private | 
garden is an excellent variety, commence j 
bearing its large pods in 65 days and will 
continue producing its pods for a long time, 
making it a desirable main crop variety. 
We consider it the best or nearest to a per- 
petual pea of anything we have ever seen. 
It grows about 2% to 3 feet high, ofstrong, 
robust habit, a good cropper, and, to secure 
best results, requires sticks or brush. After 
removing the pods as fast as they are filled 
jt will continue to bear right along through- 
out the season. This one feature makes it 
especially desirable for home or family gar- 
den and we know of no large podded pea 
that will produce so many pods and none 
that are so well filled as the Perpetual. It is 
certainly the most remarkable everbearing 
pea that has ever come to our knowledge.
