CROWN PRINCE PEA, PODS NATURAL SIZE. 



TIew English fea — *Crown prince 



We first introduced The Crown Prince to the American 

 public in 1896, our original seed bein-.; imported from one of 

 the most famous pea liybridizei s of England. It grows to a 

 height of eighteen inches, with large, broad pods, containing 

 from seven to nine large peas of the finest flavor, completely 

 eclipsing tlie Telephone and others of its class in both quality 

 and productiveness, producing darker and stronger foliage, 

 and blossoming mainly on the top or crown. Itisunques- 

 tionabl.v one of the most valuable of all the medium late 

 sorts. No pea we have ever sent out has been so highly 

 commended b.v our customers. A prominent pea grower, 

 who grew this variety the past season, pronounces it " the 

 most distinct and valuable of all the recent introduc- 

 tions in peas." Another writes: " The best pea I have 

 ever grown." Pkt., lOc; pint, 2.50.; qt., 45c., post-paid; qt., 

 3Uc.; peck, S1.50 ; bush., $5.50, by freight or express. 



* 



puke of Albany fea 



This new pea is superior to Telephone. Vines about four 

 feet high, but little branched, having stout stems and coarse, 

 light green foliage. Pods large, straight, thick, and, when 

 fit to pick, ifii/ dark green, and borne in great profusion. 

 Green peas large, dark green ; when ripe, large, much 

 wrinkled, light green. It ripens intermediate and furnishes 

 all its pods well together, making itparticularly well adapted 

 to market gardeners' use. Pkt., 5c.; pint, 15c.; qt., .30c.; 

 peck, SI. 25; bush., S4.50. 



* Improved Stratagem f ea 



The Improved Stratagem is vastly superior to the old 

 stock of Stratas:em, "which has been so wanting in unifornaity 

 and evenness of type as to disunst gai deners. The pods are of 

 immense size and uniformly filled with very large dark green 

 peas of the fi7}est quality. Vine medium height, but very 

 stocky, with very broad, light-green leaves, nnd bearing an 

 abundance of large, handsome pods. One of the very best vari- 

 eties for general crop and invaluable to market and private gar- 

 deners alike. Pkt., lOe.; pint, '^5c.; qt., 45c., post-paid; qt , 

 oOc; peck, 51.50; bush., S5.50, by freight or express.

p DIBLE PODDED 



^ ^— OR SUGAR PEAS 



MELTING SUGAR. This is the best of all of the edible 

 podded or sugar peas, with the exception of the New Mam- 

 moth Podded Prolific Sugar, described on next page. The 

 pods are very large and entirely free from membranous lin- 

 ing and strings, combining sweet flavor and brittleness to a 

 remarkable extent. They should not be shelled, but peas and 

 pods eaten together, cooked in much the same manner as 

 string or snap beans. They make a dish for the table that 

 will delight the most fastidious epicure. They grow to a 

 height of five to si.x feet, and bear enormously of their mam- 

 moth pods; six to seven inches long, and frequently one 

 and one-half inches broad. Pkt., 5c.; pint, 20c.; qt., 35c.;

 pods, of fine flavor; can also be used as a shelled variety.
