COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



THREE GRAND NEW PEAS. 



NEM HEROINe PEK 



This new 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 in between j*.d- 

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

 slightly curved, pointed pods, containing from 9 to 12 large 

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

 Stratagem and Pride of the Market for either private use or market pur- 

 poses, and being nearly as early as Advancer, will also be more desir- 

 able 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 in 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 tin immense cropper.

NEW RROrUSION RE A. 



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 90 pods to the plant. They are well packed 

 with large luscious 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 

 immeuse productiveness, stout, healthy growth and fine quality must 

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

 Per pkt., 10 cts., 3 pkts., 25 cts., pt., 40 cts., qt., 75 cts. 



NOTTS EXCELSIOR RE A. 



This new variety is one of the most valuable early 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 

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



ous 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 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."
