Thomas Laxton Pea 



This very large-podded Pea is e.vceedingly early, coming only a few days after the Extra- 

 Early types. Very vigorous, grows with vines 2l4 feet high. It has created quite a sensation, 

 and is exceedingly popular with market-growers, every one being astonished that Peas with 

 such fine large pods should be so early in maturing. As is seen from the photograph, the 

 ends of the pods are blunt and filled with seven to eight large Peas. By mail, postpaid, pkt.

Gradus Pea , 



This popular new large-podded wrinkled Pea is of the finest qualitj-, and matures only 

 a few daj-s later than the Extra-Early Pea. The vine is strong, growing 2^ to 3 feet high, 

 well-filled with large, handsome pods ; Peas remaining tender and sweet for a long time 

 after they are ready for use. The Gradus is similar to the Thomas La.xton described above, 

 but has a more pointed, slightly longer pod. By mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., pt. 30 cts.; by 

 express or freight, qt. 40 cts., 4 qts. $1.25. pk. $2. bus. S7.50. 



Boston Unrivaled Pea 



See Cut on page 41 



This is an improved strain of the deservedly popular Telephone. The vines grow about 

 4 feet in height, and are covered with pods of large size, frequently 5 inches in length by K 

 to Vs of an inch broad. The pods general!}- contain eight to nine Peas of large size and of 



most delicious flavor ; 

 they are classed 

 among the late sorts.

Thomas Laxton Pea 



Stokes* Early Epicure 



Sutton's Excelsior Pea 



This new Pea, in color of foliage, haliit of plant, and size and shape 

 of the pods, somewhat resembles the Premium Gem ; but it grows a 

 little taller, is very much more prolific and hardy, and the quality is 

 simply delicious. The pods are well filled to the tip. It is an enorm- 

 ous cropper, producing fully fifty per cent more than the McLean's 

 or Premium Gem, and of the finest quality. I predict for the Stokes' 

 Early Epicure Pea, when it becomes once introduced, that it will 

 largely take the place of the Peas of the Gem class, as it has every 

 good quality that they possess and will produce almost double the 

 crop. By niail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts. qt. 45 cts.: by ex- 

 press, qt. 30 cts., pk. Si. 85, bus. S7. 



Sutton's Elxcelsior 



New. The great merit of this new Pea lies in the fact that in it we 

 have an early dwarf wrinkled Pea in the front rank for earliness, yet 

 with much larger, handsomer pods than any dwarf wrinkled Pea yet 

 introduced. It is similar in habit of growth to Xolt's Excelsior, 

 which is one of the most popular dwarf wrinkled Peas, but has a 

 much larger pod than Nott's. It takes the place in the Extra-Early 

 class that is now so acceptably filled by Stratagem and Telephone 

 in the later sorts. It grows to a height of about 12 to 14 inches, show- 

 ing a great abundance of its long, broad, straight pods of a pale green 

 color." By mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 45 cts.; by ex-
