*L,ITTL,E MARVEL — For many years Nott's Excelsior has ranked as the very 

 best of the Dwarf Peas. In Little Marvel, however, we have a sort far 

 superior in size, color of pods and quantity of peas furnished. The pods are of 

 a rich, dark green color, filled to the ends with large peas of fine flavor. The 

 vines are strong and robust, 18 inches in height, heavily set with pods often 

 produced in pairs. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 35c; (by mail 42c); 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs' $3 20-

PILOT — A selection from Gradus, but smooth seeded, and on account of the 

 character of the seed can be planted fully two weeks earlier than that fine 

 variety. As the growing period is the same as that of Gradus it can, if planted 

 early, be put on the market at the same time as the extra-earlies such a; 

 Alaska and Challenge, thus commanding top prices. It is large podded 

 heavy yielding like Gradus, and is fast becoming a leading commercial 



sort. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; ( by mail 37c); 5 lbs. $1.45; 10 lbs. $2.70; 15 lbs.
