NEW, EVELRBEARING 



GRANT'S FAVORITE. 



^pniS new variety of my own Introduction 13 unquestion- 

 ably tUe finest ineillum and late Tea ever offered, 

 coming Into use Just after the early varieties are through 

 bearing. Tills trait alone makes It an exceptionally valu- 

 able sort. It Is a luxuriant grower, crowing from 3 to 4 

 feet high. Is an enormous ylelder, completely outyleldlng 

 all other varieties. 



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

 ways well tilled with exceptionally sweet and Llghly- 

 tlavored Teas. 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 

 puriioses. My original seed was secured from an old 

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

 received it from General Grait. I control the entire 

 supply of this variety. Pkt. 7c; V& Pt. 12c; pt. 20c;

NEW EVEDBEARINGo 



The great continuous everbearing variety, which gives 

 It special value for late summer and autumn use; stout 

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

 large quantities of broad pods containing U to 8 large 

 wrinkled Teas, half uu inch or more i.i diameter; quality 

 unsurpassed; If pods 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, rhe 

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

 ferred by many to any other sort. Try It. Pkt. 7o. ; 14 pt.

BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED STRATAGEM. 



One of the best of the large podded sorts. The pods are of Immense size and uniformly filled with 

 very large, dark green I'eas of the unest .juality. All the good qualities of the old btral:ig--m are highly de- 

 veloi>ed 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 liearing an abundance of 

 large, haudsome |>ods. The best Pea now on the market for those who want large, showypods and Peas 

 without anv sacrifice in quality. One of the very best varieties for market gardeners. Pit. 6c; % pt.

HEROINE. 



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

 yield. It grows very uuiformly. about 2'^ teet high, bearing n profusion of large, long.polnted pods, 

 containing from 7 to 9 large Peas of Quest quality. The quality is of the very best. We recommend 

 it with confidence, knowing well It Will give satisfaction. Pkt. 'ic; V4 pt. 12c; pt. 20c; qt. 36o. 



THE QUEEN. 



It Is a gre o n. wrinkled, main crop variety, growing to about 'J to 2% feet In height! pods are large, slightly curved, produced mostly 

 in palrr and au 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 oi>en 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 ll comes Into bearlug when that jjrnud variety is about finished. Pkt, 7c; % pt. 12c;

NEW TELEPHONE. 



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

 leaves. Pods very large, filled with Immense Teas, which are tender, sweet and of excellent tlavor. 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 r--S sterling merit which gardeners appreciate. The stock we 

 offer is proline and has been carefully selected. Pkt. 6c; y z pt. 10c; pt. 16c; qt. 30c 



WIIXIAri 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 cuuies 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 proline. The pods are well filled 

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

 the very best. Pkt. 6c; Va pt. ISc.j pt. fOc; qt. 35c. 



JUNO. 



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

 years' acquaintance with "Juno" Tea. 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 110 brushing. It produces an abundance of the finest I'eas possible, the vines being actua.ly laden with 

 pods, which rei air. tender and retain their flavor for a long time. Pkt. 6c; Vi Pt. 12c; pt. 20c; qt. &5.C
