 uniform in growth. The dark green color of the puds makes

 color, which quality, combined with its earlin&ss and uni- 

 formity of ripening, makes it a most desirable extra e.arly 

 pea for market gardeners ; height, two feet. Pkt., be; pint,

 grows uniformly about two and one-half feet high and is lit-

 striking and distinct is this -iariety that it would be picked 

 out at once in a lield of one hundred other varieties. We 

 have often seen pods with eight to ten peas, and sometimes 

 twelve. The quality of this pea is simply perfection — that 

 rich, buttery, marrow-like flavorfor which the peas grown in

The Best Second Early Wrinkled Variety 



This pea is the product of our Canadian farm, and is the 

 best and most productive Second Early Pea on the market. 

 Its fine, medium-sized, well-filled pods are ready for picking 

 eight to ten days after our Extra Early. The peas are larger 

 and more wrinkled, when dry, than that variety, while in 

 delicious flavor they are unsurpa.ssed. It is also a prodigious 

 bearer, having averaged as much asseventy pods to the vine 

 with ordinary field culture, and will produce more pods 

 to the acre than any other pea in cultivation. The vines 

 grow very uniformly to a height of two feet, and ripen up so 

 evenly that the whole crop can be cleared oft' generally in one 

 picking, and never more than two pickings. Pkt., lOc; pint, 

 2.5c.: qt., 45c., post-paid; qt., .30c.; peck, $1.15 ; bush., 84.25 ; 5 

 bush, and over, $4.00 per bush., by freight or express. 



*Sutton's Satisfaction pea 



This new variety is one of the most tender and delicious 

 in flavor of almost any pea grown. It was introduced by us 

 six years ago, and surpasses in popularity even the famous 

 Telephone and Stratagem varieties. The vine grows vigor- 

 ously to a height of about two and one-half feet, requiring no 

 brush or sticks to hold them up, being very stocky and 

 robust and literally filled with good showy pods, borne 

 double. They follow closely our best 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 , lOc; pint, 25c.; qt., 4.5c., 

 post-paid; qt., 30c.; peck, $1.50; bush., 85.50, by freighter 

 express.
