-^'^'^''*'" ™ xaiJ'i'H \vi, Tz-^Bi ..^ r\ \i vau(,(,r_ Grows eighteen inches high, being slightly taller than Prerr.ium Gem, and while 



equally early, it is decidedly a better cropper than either that or Tom Thumb. Pods large, 

 heavy and well filled. Also equal to the wrinkled varieties in sweetness and flavor, and can be 

 planted earlier than these without danger of rotting. Its combination of earliness, dwarf 

 growth, yield and quality, with the large size and good filling of the pod, ensures Its future as 

 one of the best peas for the family or market garden. Packet, lOcts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 

 ADVANCER.— An earlv sort, very popular in many sections, wrinkled and of excellent 

 qualitv; grows from 2 to 3 feet high; very prolific. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 



McLiEAN'S LITTLiE GEM.— A green, wrinkled variety, comes in use a few days after 

 Extra Earlv; 12 to 18 inches; prolific; excellent flavor. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 



PREMIUM GEM.— An improvement on Little Gem, being more robust and producing 

 longer pods. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents. 



TOM THUMB.— A favorite with many, on account of its dwarf habit; is very productive 

 and produces pods of good size; peas are sweet and tender. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt,, 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 



HORSFORD'S MARKET GARDEN.— This most excellent new second early pea is from 

 a cross between the Alpha and American Wonder. As a flrst-class wrinkled variety, it has ex- 

 cited favorable comment wherever grown, particularly on account of its superior flaTor and 

 great productiveness. 154 pods have been counted on a single plant. Grows 20 to 30 inches 

 high, and is very stocky. On the grounds of the New York Experimental Station it has proved, 

 among the most desirable of almost 100 varieties. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 



JUNO. — In our comparative test of 

 peas the past Summer, the Juno has 

 shown many marks of merit; so much 

 80 that we decided, notwithstanding our 

 already long list of good sorts, to give it 

 a place. Comes into bearing shortly af- 

 ter Heroine; robust habit of growth. 

 Pods stout, heavy; almost straight and 

 well filled. Pkt., lOc; pt., 25c.; qt., 45c. 

 HEROINE. — A second early or medium variety and about the best large green 

 wrinkled sort of recent introduction. Growing about 2'^ feet high, it bears a profusion of 

 laige, pointed pods, many of which contain from 8 to 9 large peas of the finest quality; 

 rich, buttery, marrow like flavor. It is a second early green wrinkled variety that is sure 

 to make a name for itself in every garden in which it may be planted. Packet, 10 cents; 

 pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 



DWARF BLUE IMPERIAL A good summer pea and favorite sort, for either pri- 

 vate use or for market gardeners. Pods are large and well filled, and when young are ex- 

 ceedingly tender. The dry peas are sold in large quantities in our market during the 

 Winter season. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents. 



MAULE'S FAMILY GARDEN.— In earliness. Family (iarden equals any other, of- 

 ten maturing in 45 to .50 days. In productiveness, it is simply wonderful. In quality, of a 

 most toothsome and delicate flavor. The only ditt'erence between them and Maule's Ex- 

 tra Early is, that although they frequently ripen equally as early, thej' are not an even 

 cropper; that is, they do not mature their crop all at once, but continue in bearing from 

 one to three weeks. For market gardeners this is not so desirable a quality, but for the 

 home garden it is most desirable, hence the name Family Garden. Being very hardy, 

 they readily resist frost. Wherever grown tliev have at once become general favorites. 

 Your garden will not be complete without theui. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts.
