The Hardiest Large Podded Pea. 

 all Seasons. 



GIANT PODDED MARROW. 



Can be Used at 



Since our intro- 

 duction of this tine, 

 new senii-wrinliled 

 green pea, a few 

 years since, the de- 

 mand from marliet 

 gardeners lias been 

 so great tliat 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 aljout 

 two feet high and 

 bear enormous 

 handsome pods, as 

 shown in photo- 

 graph alongside, 

 frequently seven to 

 eight inches in 

 length. The pods 

 are completely 

 tilled with large, 

 del i ciousl y-f la- 

 vored, deep-green 

 peas. They require 

 no support, owing 

 to their dwarf, 

 stoclcy habit. Ow- 

 ing to the immense 

 size of pods and 

 peas, we know of 

 no pea from which 

 so large a bulk of 

 produce can be ob- 

 tained from a given 

 number of vines. 

 It is much hardier 

 than either the Tel- 

 ephone, Stratagem 

 or any other large- 

 podded sort, and 

 can be planted 

 much earlier. It 

 miitures three to 

 five days later than 

 our famous Second 

 Karly Market 

 Garden, making 

 a valuable second 

 early as well as the 

 finest late pea.

Jlew JSIammoth Podded prolific 

 Sugar pea 



A newand superior edible podded or "sn.ip" pea. and 

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

 hei-etofore introduced. In all of our experience we have 

 never seen anything in the line of sugar peas that would 

 equal this variety in productiveness and quality. The pods 

 are larger, broader and more melting than the Melting Sugar, 

 and it is equally as early. The peas are drab-colored 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-six inches high; when grown 

 without trellis or brushing they are strong and rank. One 

 of the largest and most experienced growers of seed 

 pea-, who grew it the past season, writes as follows : " I be- 

 lieve this to be an improvement over 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 producer 

 ought to bring it rapidly in general favor, especially as an 

 improvement in the yielding qualities is not at the expense 

 of eating quality." 



Having tested this new pea carefidly on ourtrial grounds, 

 we recommend all our customers to give it a trial. Pkt.,10c.;

Pepper 



One ounce will sow one hundred yards of row. 



A SINGLE PL.4NT OF ECBY KING FEPPEH. 



KTJBT KING. This fine pepper grows to double the 

 size of Bull Nose. The fruits are five to six inqhes long bv 

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

 They are remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor, having no 

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

 best red pepper. Pkt., lOc: oz., 25c.; 34 lb., 70c.; lb., $2.25. 



MAMMOTH 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 

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

 of the most perfect shape and vniform 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 double the prices of other sorls, and are 

 exceedingly valuable for stuffing as maDgoes. This pepper, 

 which we first introduced, has been recently oti'ered as a 

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

 30c.; i41b.,7iic.;lb., $2.75. 



BIRD'S EYE, or CREOLK. This is the smallest of 

 all peppers, being about the size of a Marrowfat Pea. It is 

 very hot and is used in the manufacture of the celebrated 

 Tabasco Sauce. Pkt., lOc; oz., 40c.; 14 lb., 81.25. 



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 very hot, long 

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