VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES-^ 



ADVANCER PEA. 



A reliable second early green Pea, just following the first 

 earlies; it is of healthy, compact growth, about 2£ feet high, 

 bearing in great abundance medium-sized pods, but compactly 

 filled with dark green-colored, large wrinkled peas, so tender, sweet 

 and finely flavored that this variety is often known as the Dwarf 

 Champion. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt.,' 30c. qt., $1.50pk., $5.50 bush. 



" Your Advancer Peas are as perfect as one could wish — lots of pods and all com- 

 pactly filled with delicious peas." J. R. LEMON, Falling Water, W. Va. 



JUNO PEA. 



A DWARF MAIN CROP WRINKLED MARROW PEA. 

 ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC. SUPERB FLAVOR. 



Juno Pea we esteem highly. It is a main crop variety, 

 of vigorous constitution, which shows itself in the strong, hand- 

 some, branching plant. It is 2 feet in height, requiring little or 

 no brushing. It produces an abundance of the finest peas possible, 

 the vines being actually laden with pods. These are dark 

 green, stout and heavy, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the finest 

 quality, which so thoroughly fill the pod as to make it almost 

 cylindrical in shape. The peas, too, possess the admirable merit 

 of preserving their tenderness and superb flavor long after they 

 are young, and also retain their -attractive dark green color when 

 served at table. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



"We are just eating the last of your Juno Peas, and they deserve all the praise 

 you give them, and more; their dark-leaved, thick vines, loaded with peas, remained per- 

 fectly fresh, perfecting every pod, during our intense heat, while other sorts fairly 

 shriveled up. The pods are thick and meaty, see?ningly impervious to the hot sun, 

 keeping the peas in condition for the table for a long time. The peas are so plump and 

 large, the pods so well filled, the flavor so delicious, and the bearing season sc long, a 

 combination of excellences rendering Juno the ideal Pea for the home garden." — Mrs. 

 li. H. EMERSON, 322 Main Street, Jackson, Mich. 



CHELSEA PEA. 



It grows about 15 inches in height and is of compact, short- 

 jointed habit, thus requiring no brushing or staking. The pods 

 are remarkably handsome, being gracefully curved and much 

 longer than any other early dwarf kind. They are well filled, 

 each containing 8 to 10 good sized wrinkled peas of exquisite 

 quality, which, when cooked, are rich, sugary, and of marrow-like 

 flavor. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 bush. 



" The Chelsea Pea — put out by Peter Henderson A- Co. — while not the earliest 

 proved to be the best table pea we have had this season. The pods are long and simply 

 jammed full of rich peas; for the family garden it would be difficult to find a 

 better:'— THE AGRICULTURAL EPITOMIST. 



TELEPHONE PEA. 



A strong, luxuriant-growing main crop variety, at- 

 taining a height of about 4J feet. It is exceedingly 

 prolific, averaging 18 pods to the stalk, while up to 

 24 to the stalk is not uncommon. The pods, the largest 

 of all varieties, are packed with immense wrinkled 

 marrow peas, 6 to 8 being the average, while 10. to 12 

 to a pod are frequently found. The quality is superb, 

 rich, sugar} r and meltingly tender. For family use 

 the Telephone Pea is without a peer. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush. 



" Your Telephone Pea is the finest uv ever planted. We have planted 

 it on heavy soil without manure and on light soil with manure. Growth 

 always 5 to 6 feet high with 22 to 26 pods to a vine, averaging S to IS 

 peas as big as hazle nuts to a pod — gualitu grand." 



GEORGE SELAKE, Clinton. Ct. 



Champion of England Pea* 



We herewith offer a select strain of this grand old 

 favorite, too well known to require extended descrip- 

 tion. It is a main crop and late variety of vigorous 

 growth, about 5 feet high, producing abundantly large 

 pods of immense wrinkled Peas that are noted for 

 their tenderness and rich marrow-like flavor. To 

 equal in quality the Champion of England is the dis-
