COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



HEM HEROING PER. 



This uew variety is considered the greatest acquisition we have had in 

 new Peas for a decade. It is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea and 

 grows uniformly two to two and a half feet high, coming iu between Ad- 

 vancer and Champion of England, and bears a profusion of large, long 

 slightly curved, pointed pods, oontainiiijs: from 9 to 1*^ large Peas 

 of finest quality. This new Pea is destined to eclipse the Stratagem 

 ;ind Pride of the Market for either private use or market purposes, and 

 -eing nearly as early as Advance)', will also be more desirable than that 

 well-known variety, In Heroine we have a variety that after careful 

 test has been found to run true and even, and when we say that iu field 

 culture we have found it to ripen and yield double the quantity of peas 

 that the ordinary varieties do, it will be readily seen that in addition to 

 its good quality, it is an immense cropper.

NEW PROFUSION PEA. 



The Profusion is claimed to be the most prolific Pea ever introduced. 

 It is of vigorous growth, the haulm attaining three feet in height and of 

 a very branching character— four to eight laterals starting from the 

 root. The haulm is very stout, the main stem usually branching at the 

 first three to five nodes above the ground. The pods are usually pro- 

 duced in pairs, from 50 to 9C pods to the plant. They are well packed 

 with large Ixiseioiis Peas, of very sweet and splendid quality. 



The peas are of very large size, often one-half inch in diameter, when 

 green, and are packed closely together in the pods, five to nine in a pod. 

 The plants are continuous bearers, extending over a period of several 

 weeks. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready for the table July 9th. Its 

 immense productiveness, stout, healthy growth and fine quality must 

 make it a leading variety for main crop as soon as it becomes known.

NOTT S EXCELSIOR PEA. 



This new variety is one of the most valuable earl3'^ dwarf wrinkled 

 peas in cultivation. The introducer describes it as follows: 



"This very desirable pea grows to a uniform height of one foot. Re- 

 markably hardy and productive, besides being earlier than all the 

 wrinkled peas, it has been impartially tested the past six years in vari- 

 HEROINE PEAS. ous scctions of the United States and Canada. It is so hardy and vigor- 



ous that it may be safely planted in early spring with any smooth variety, and counted on for table 

 use almost as soon, while the quality is far superior. During the eight years tliat I have been 

 developing these peas, they have never failed to be well matured for table use within fifty days 

 from planting, with ordinary garden culture. Pods large, with from five to seven large peas in a 

 pod. Very tender and fine flavored."

SHROPSHIRE HERO PEA.

 acquisition in new pms made in recent years. It is a second early large ivrinhled pea, a robust grower 

 like Stratagem, two to three feet in height, producing its large pods in abundance. The pods are 

 larger and better filled than such fine sorts as Telephone, Stratagem and othersof its class, 

 averages seven, and often contains eight and ten fine large peas of exquisite flavor. It lias been 

 awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society of England.
