PHOTOGEAPH OF A SINGLE VINE OF SHROPSHIRE HEKO. 



♦SHKOPSHIKE HEKO. This grand new pea is pro- 

 nounced, by all growers who have tested it, the most valua- 

 ble acquisition in new peas made in recent years. It is a 

 medium early large wrinkled pea; a robust, grower two feet 

 in height, producing its large pods in abundance, as shown in 

 our photograph above. The pods are larger and better filled 

 than Stratagem, Telephone, and others of its class, each con- 

 taining nine to ten fine large peas, of exquisite flavor. It 

 has been awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Horti- 

 cultural Society of England. We recommend this variety 

 highly. Pkt., lOc; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., post-paid; qt., 40c.; 4 

 qts., 81.50: peck, $2.'J.5: bush., $8.50. by freight or express. 



*THE HEROINE. This variety was first introduced 

 in this country three years since, and the strong claims made 

 by the introducers have been verified by thousands of gar- 

 deners who have grown it. It is a medium early, green 

 wrinkled pea. It grows very uniformly about two and a half 

 feet high, bearing a profusion of large, long pointed pods, 

 each containing from nine to ten fine large peas. The peas 

 are of the choicest quality, very tender, and when cooked 

 their rich sugarv flavor is unsurpassed. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 30c.; 

 qt., 55c.: post-paid; qt., 40e.; peck, 32.50; bush., $9.00. 



*NOTT'S EXCELSIOR. This new pea strongly resem- 

 bles Premium Gem in appearance and quality. The vine, 

 however, grows stronger and taller ; height, eighteen inches.

 Island market gardeners, whereit was originally introduced.

 the past two seasons. Earlier than Champion of England ; ar« 

 excellent cropper. Pods large size and well filled with peas 

 of very good qualitv. Seed green; height, three and one- 

 half feet. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 30c.; qt.,50c.; peck, $1.60; bush.,

* BLISS' EVERBEARING. This new pea is a cross 

 between the Little Gem and the Champion of England; 

 height, two feet; foliage large, firm and bright green ; pods 

 three to four inches long, each pod producing from six to 

 eight large wrinkled peas; its habit of growth is of a pecu- 

 liar branching character, forming as many as ten stalks from 

 one root stalk. Pint, 25c.; qt.,45c.; peck, $1.25; bush., SJ. oft. 



NEW GIANT PODDED 

 MARROW. This new pea 

 luis given satisfaction to all 

 who have planted it the past 

 I hree seasons. It grows about 

 two feet high, and bears enor- 

 mous handsome pods, seven 

 to eight inches in length, filled 

 with large, deliciously fla- 

 vored, deep green peas from 

 top to bottom, as shown in 

 illustration. They require no 

 support, owing to their fine 

 dwarf stocky habit. We know 

 of no pea from which so large 

 a bulk of produce can be ob- 

 tained from a given numberof 

 vines. It is much hardier than 

 either the Telephone or Strata- 

 gem, and can be planted much 

 earlier; it matures about ten 

 days later than our famous 

 Kxtra Early, making a valu- 

 able second early as well as 

 our finest late pea. Your 

 garden will not be coin- 

 lilete without this grand 

 pea. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 35c.; qt.,
