1^^^^^^^^ VEGETABLE .§EEDS 



SECOND-EARLY, or MEDIUM PEAS 



Smooth Peas may be planted earlier than wrinkled Peas, and the 

 wrinkled Peas should not be sown in cool, damp ground. 



The varieties marked with an asterisk (*) have wrinkled seed. 



*BOSTON UNRIVALED. This is a splendid Pea, with vine growing 

 about 4 feet high, covered with large 

 pods, frequently s inches long and 7-8 

 inch broad, containing eight or nine Peas 

 of the finest flavor. The vines make a 

 very robust growth, spreading at each 

 side so they can carry a larger crop. The 

 pods are borne closely together, and 

 the Peas have a sugary flavor, more 

 pronounced than in the standard Tele- 

 phone. Boston Unrivaled is, in my 

 opinion, as good a second-early Pea as 

 can be had. My sales of this variety are 

 enormous, and all without any special 

 effort to "boom" the Pea. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 pt. 30 cts., postpaid; by express, qt. 35

 *STOKES' STANDARD MID -SEASON. 

 Vines 2 feet high, with pods 3 to 4 inches 

 long, filled with tender, sweet Peas. 

 This is a home-garden variety of the 

 highest class, requiring no support. It 

 will give a continuous crop if planted 

 each week for succession. Its fine quali- 

 ties include evenness in ripening, uni- 

 formity of type, and a dark bluish color. 

 The strain has been improved each 

 year. Pkt. 10 cts., %pt. 15 cts., pt. 25
