the leading shows in England, the last 3 years, it has always taken first prize, and it will create 
just as much excitement in America as it has there. The plant is of branching habit, grow-

On account of its height it may not be popular with market gardeners; still, there are 
thousands of my customers who will be delighted to show their friends such enor- 
mous pods of peas, the largest, by far, they have ever seen, which in addition to 
large size combine rich and succulent flavor, not surpassed by any other tall grow-

of public attention, no matter whether in the home garden or on the exhibition

The Perfect Sugar Pea. 
Mammoth Luscious Sugar. 
Edible Pods. Choice for Snap Shorts. 
Unsurpassed by Any Other Sort. 































































This splendid sugar. pea fully maintains its repu- 
tation as a choice table variety. Indeed, my sales 
of the seed increase year by year. The peas are not 
shelled, but the pod is eaten like a bush bean. The 
pods are stringless, and in flavor, brittleness and 
succulence are unexcelled. The vines are very tall, 
reaching a height of 5 or 6feet and requiring sup- 
port. The full grown pods are 6 to7 inches long and 
1% inches broad, and are produced continuously for 
a considerable period, the vines haying great bear- 
ing capacity on account of their height. The pods 
are sometimes sliced for cooking, because of their 
size, and may be served with butter or white sauce. 
They can be made ready for the table in 10 or 15 
minutes, and are good even when quite old. Excel- 
lent also for pickles. The sweetness and tenderness 
of this edible-podded pea insure it a permanent 
place in the garden. It should be tried where bush 
beans and snap shorts are relished. 
Crop again short, and I can offer it only in small 
quantities. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
Pint, 60 cents; quart, $1.00, postpaid.
