 Morning Star, etc., has been offered in this countn.' for over one hundred 

 years. The modem typ^ has been considerably improved upon. We 

 offer it in preference to .\iaska, which is two or three days earlier, because 

 of its larger pod, higher sugar content, and more prolific bearing quali- 

 ties. These feartures make it a more desirable variety for the general 

 planter. In quality. Pedigree Extra-Early when gathered young in the 

 early spring is hardly surpassed. This variety does not need brushing as 

 the vines only grow to a height of 20 inches. The pods average 2^0 

 inches. The drv seed is small, smooth, vellowish white. Price, delivered: 

 141b. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. Si. 40; 50 lbs. S12. 



The Marchioness 



Days to maturity, 56. World's Record is a synonym for this variety. 

 ?vIarchioness resembles Gradus, but is earlier and much more productrv e. 

 Because of these points of superiority, we have eliminated the time- 

 honored Gradus from our list. The \"ine of Marchioness is 6 inches 

 shorter and the Peas will be ready for market four to five days earlier. 

 The pods are nearly 4 inches long, quite broad, pointed, and well filled. 

 The dry seed is of a fresh green color which indicates rich flavor. We 

 particularlv recommend this varietv because of its delicious quality.
