NEW EVERBEARING 



GRANT'S FAVORITE. 



""J - II IS new variety of my own introduction is unquestion- 

 ably the finest medium and late I'ea ever offered, 

 coming into use just after the early varieties are through 

 hearing. This trait alone makes it an exceptionally valu- 

 able sort. It is a luxuriant grower, growing from 3 to 4 

 feet high, is an enormous ylelder, completely outyieldiug 

 all other varieties. 



Grand Good Late Pea — The pods are of good size and al- 

 ways well lilled with exceptionally sweet and highly- 

 Havored 1'eas. It is nearly an upright grower, but will 

 do better if staked or planted along a fence. It will 

 please you either for family, market garden or shipping 

 purposes. My original seed was secured from an old 

 friend of General Grant's, at Galena, 111., who had 

 received it from General Grant. I control the entire 

 supply of Ibis variety. Pkt. 7c: % pt. 12c; pt. 20c. j 

 q.t. 35c. 



NEW EVERBEARING. 



The great continuous everbearing variety, which gives 

 it special value for late summer and autumn use; stout 

 vines growing IS inches or more high, bearing at the top 

 large quantities of broad pods containing to 8 large 

 wrinkled l'eas. half an inch or more i.i diameter; quality 

 unsurpassed; if puds are picked as they mature, and if 

 the season and soil are favorable, the plant will throw out 

 from the axil of each leaf, branches bearing pods which 

 will mature in succession, thus prolonging the season. The 

 Peas cook quickly, are tender, of superior flavor and pre- 

 ferred by many to any other sort. Try it. Pkt, 7c; l / 2 pt.

BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED STRATAGEM. 



One of the best of the large podded sorts. Tne pods are of immense size and uniformly filled with 

 very large, dark green l'eas o£ the lii'est quality. All the good qualities of the old Stratagem are highly de- 

 veloped in our Improved, and it is vastly superior to the stocks now generally " sold as Stratagem. 

 Vine medium height, but very stocky, with very broad, light green leaves and bearing an abundance of 

 large, handsome puds. The best Pea now on the market for those who want large, showy pods and Peas 

 without anv sacrifice in quality. One of the very best varieties for market gardeuei >. Pkt. 6c; y z pt,

HEROINE. 



This is without doubt the best of all second early Peas. It combines both quantity and quality of 

 yield. It grows very uniformly, about 2'/> feet high, bearing a profusion of large, long, pointed pods, 

 containing from 7 to large Peas of finest quality. The quality is of the very best. We recommend 

 it with contideuce, knowing well it will give satisfaction. Pkt. 7c; Vi pt. 12c; pt. 20c; qt. 35c. 



THE QUEEN. 



It is 



In pairs' 



a green, wrinkled, main crop variety, growing to about 2 to 2% feet in height; pods are large, slightly curved, produced mostly 

 and all over the vine from bottom to top. The Peas are large, oval, deep green and of a delicious flavor when cooked. So packed 

 in the pods that when open it would almost seem impossible that they could be contained in the pod. Vines are very 

 sturdy, and. being of a branching habit, can be sown more thinly than most varieties. Its season is just right to 

 succeed Grant's Favorite, as it comes into bearing when that grand variety is about finished. Pkt. 7c. ; V4 pt, 12c. ; 

 pt. 20c; qt. 35c 



NEW TELEPHONE. 



This Pea has proved to he a valuable acquisition. Vines vigorous, growing about 4 feet high, with large, coarse 

 leaves. Pods very large, filled with immense Peas, which are tender, sweet and of excellent flavor. Notwithstanding 

 the large amount of inferior and spurious stock which has been sold, no Pea of recent introduction has gained more 

 rapidly in popularity than this, thus showing that it nas sterling merit which gardeners appreciate. The stock we 

 offer is proline and has been carefully selected. Pkt, 5c; % pt. 10c; pt, 16c; qt. 30c. 



WILLIAM HURST. 



The Peas are ready for the table June 2Sth. as early as American Wonder, while the vines are much more pro- 

 ductive, and it comes very near to being a "one-picking variety." Of handsome, dwarf growth, the vines are 8 to 

 10 inches high, foliage of dark green color, haulms are close jointed and very prolific. The pods are well filled 

 with large Peas, each containing 6 to 8. so closely packed that the Peas are flattened against each other. Quality 

 the very best. Pkt. 6c; y 2 ot. 12c; pt. ?0c. ; qt. 35c. 



JUNO. 



A dwarf, main crop, wrinkled variety Pea, enormously productive, excellent flavor. We have now had several 

 years' acquaintance with "Juno" Pea. and every year we esteem it more highly. It is a main crop variety with 

 vigorous constitution, which shows itself in the strong, handsome branching plant. It is 2 feet in height, requiring 

 little or no brushing. It produces an abundance of the finest l'eas possible, the vines being actually laden with 

 pods, which remain tender and retain their flavor for a long time. Pkt. 6c; '/a pt- 12c; pt, 20c; qt. C5c
