COLE'S PEA SEED. 



43 



Nott's Excelsior Pea 



The introducer describes it as follows: 

 "This very desirable pea grows to a 

 uniform height of one foot. Remarkably 

 hardy and productive, besides being ear- 

 lier than all the wrinkled peas, it has 

 been impartially tested the past six years 

 in various sections of the United States 

 and Canada. It is so hardy and vigorous 

 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 that I have been develop- 

 ing these peas, they 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." 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 45- 

 cts., pk. $1.25, bu. $5.00. 



LATE OR MAIN CROP VARIETIES

dwarf wrinkled blue marrow, a very heavy cropper,

 filled, and contains as high as ten large, fine cov- 

 vored peas. In table quality none can surpass it.

variety, growing to about two and one-half feet in 

 height. The pods are very large, produced mostly 

 in pairs and all over the vine from bottom to top. 

 The peas are large, oval, deep green, and of a 

 delicious flavor when cooked. The vines are very 

 sturdy, of branching habit, can be sown more thinly 

 than most varieties. Its season is just right to suc- 

 ceed the Juno, as it comes into bearing when that 

 splendid variety is about finished. Price per pkt. 

 5 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., pk. $1.00. 



*THE JUNO. This variety has a vigor- 

 ous constitution, which shows itself in the strong, 

 handsome, branching plant. It is two feet in 

 height, requiring little or no brushing. It produces 

 an abundance of the finest peas possible, the vines 

 being actually laden with pods. These are stout 

 and heavy in form, dark green, usually growing in 

 pairs. The peas, too, possess the admirable faculty 

 of preserving their tenderness and superb flavor long 

 after they are young, and also retain their attrac- 

 tive dark green color when served at the table.
