Rev. J. Reynard Lawrence. of 

 Lanesboro, Mass., (the prominent seed 

 specialist, whose tests at Eden Trial 

 Grounds have a wide reputation), writes 

 under recent date: "It was a race from 

 start to finish between Buckbee's Ligbt- 

 ulng Express and Gradus, and Lightning Express came out 5 days 

 ahead, being ready to pick in 40 days from time of planting. Five 

 days' start in the market makes a big difference in price, and so 

 all who have market for the Earliest Peas should plant Buckbee's 

 Lightning repress." 



Frank D. Lee, Long Island, N. Y., writes: 



"I cleared over $1,100 from your Lightning Express Peas. They 

 were the first In the market and sold fast as we could pick them. 

 Please ship by first freight ten Bushels Lightning Express; enclosed

J. TV. Boss, Paris, Texas, writes: 



"The Lightning Express Pea was just what you represented it to 

 be. Positively it is the finest Early Pea I ever planted. It yields 

 three times the quantity of other early sorts. I have made three 

 times the money with this than with any other Peas I have ever 

 planted." 



A WORD TO MARKET GARDENERS 



The Pea is one of the most important 

 and profitable crops; you therefore can- 

 not bestow too much care in selecting 

 your seed, as the market is always over- 

 stocked with what are called Finest Ear- 

 lies and offered at temptingly low prices. 

 These are generally sown in Canada in a wild, broadcast manner, 

 full of runners and sold under this name to command a better 

 pri?e in *he market. There is no variety that deteriorates more 

 rapidly, both in earliness and dwarfness of habit, than the Early 

 Pen, and it requires a grower to exercise his greatest care in se- 

 lect'ng his stock of seed, aud its proper culture, in order to keep 

 it up to its correct standard, both for earliness and free from run- 

 ners. Buckbee's lightning Express has always maintained the 

 highest reputation with gardeners for its earliness. productiveness 

 and fine quality, and is today the best known and the most popular 

 among all growers; it is the perfection of Peas, both for earliness 

 and uniform dwarf habit in its growth. One of its great features 

 is that the crop is almost ready for market at once, and the whole 

 crop can be harvested in one or two pickings. These are very 

 desirable features and just what the gardener requires, and every- 

 one should plant this world's greatest money-making Pea.
