NEW EARLY GRADUS, prospers. 



The Mew Extra Early Wrinkled Pea. 



The most ueshable sort for the home garden. Large 

 podded, and of splendid quality. The vine of this most 

 distinct sort is like that of Buckbee's First and Best, ex- 

 cept that it grows a little taller and produces Peas fit for 

 use a few 7 days later. The immense pods aie as large as 

 those of the Telephone, uniformly well shaped and hand- 

 some, and more atti active than those of other first ear- 

 lies. They ripen slowly and continue fit for use much 

 longer than most varieties, making this bv far the most 

 desirable sort for the home garden. The Peas are verv 

 large, of splendid quality and beautiful color, which thev 

 retain after cooking. This varietv is practicallv the same 

 as what is being offered as "Prosperitv." We have taken 

 great pains to secure true stock and have it well grown 

 so we are sure that everyone who purchases our seed will 

 be pleased with the variety. Everv gardener should trv 

 it. Pkt. 8c; Vz pt. 15c; pt. 26c: at." 50c. 



NOTT'S EXCELSIOR. 



Best Early Dwarf Pea. 



It combines to a wonderful degree the good qualities 

 of the American Wonder and Premium Gem Peas without 

 their deficiencies. 



The Vines are Larger and More Vigorous than Amer- 

 ican Wonder, and Earlier and More Prolific than Premium 

 Gem. The Peas in Sweetness and Quality are Unsur- 

 passed. A most desirable sort for the market gardener, 

 and unsurpassed for the home garden. Pkt. 7c; ' p pt.

BUCKBEE'S FIRST AND BEST. 



By most careful comparison we are convinced that this is the earliest and most even sto^k of White Extra Early Peas 

 in existence, maturing so well together that a single picking will secure the entire crop. Vines vigorous and hardy 2 to 

 2% feet high, unbranched, bearing 3 to 7 straight pods, having 5 to 7 medium sized, smooth peas of good quality.' The 

 dry peas are medium sized, smooth, yellowish white. Pkt. 6c; \' 2 pt. 12c; pt. 20c; qt. 35c 



PROSPERITYo? yl GRADUS 



EARLIEST OF ALL OR ALASKA. 



By careful selection and growing we have developed a stock of this smooth, blue pea. which in evenness of growth of 

 vine and early maturity of pods is unequaled by any other extra early pea. Vine two and two and one-half feet high, are 

 unbranched, bearing four to seven long pods, which are filled with medium-size dark-green peas of excellent flavor. Ripe 

 peas small, bluish green. Ripens the crop all at once, and is an invaluable variety for market gardeners and canners. 

 A very excellent sort. Don't fail to try it. Pkt. 6c; Vz pt- 10c; pt. 16c; qt. 30c 



BUCKBEE'S EXTRA EARLY TOM THUMB OR STRAWBERRY. 



An extremely early variety of superior merit. Vines dwarf, about 9 inches high, completely covered with an abund- 

 ance of the finest well-filled pods. It is of such upright growth that it can be planted in rows 10 inches apart. Don't fail 

 to include this variety in your order. Pkt. 7c; Vz pt. 12c; pt. 20c; qt. 35c 



TRUE AMERICAN WONDER. 



Variety whose stout branching vines grow about nine inches high, and are covered with long, well-filled pods con- 

 taining seven or eight large and exceedingly sweet, tender and well-flavored peas, nearly as early as First and Best. 

 Dry peas are medium size, much wrinkled and flattened, pale green. We have taken great pains in growing our stock 

 and know it to be pure and true. Pkt. 7c; Vz pt. 15c; pt. 25c; qt. 40c. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR. 



This variety is far superior to all others of the edible podded class of garden Peas, not only in size of pod. but also 



in delicious quality, in which 

 the large, sweet, brittle and suc- 

 culent pods have none of the 

 tough, inner lining found in the 

 ordinary varieties of garden 

 Peas; they are used in the same 

 way as snap or string beans; the 

 pods are very large, straight, 

 smooth, extremely tender, so 

 brittle that they snap; without 

 any strinsr: of the most delicious 

 flavor, borne in ahundance on 

 vines 3 to 4 feet high. Send to 

 Buekbee for original stock seed.
