Earliest Pea 



in the World. 



Ready for Picking in 



. . .40 Days. 



They are much hardier, more productive, and withstand 

 greater changes in the weather than any other 

 variety. They are not only the largest 

 podded early but they are 



Entirely Free From Runners, 



And the Entire Crop can be taken off in Two Pickings. 



10,000 BUSHELS SOLD ANNUALLY. 



T.liere earliness, productiveness, large-sized pods and sweetness 

 o'' davor are desired, thiis is tlie variety to grow ; it may be truly 

 called tne blooded stock of all finest early peas, and stands at the 

 nead for the above fine qualities; in a favorable season ready for 

 market in 40 days, the entire crop canbe taken off in two pickings. 



To the market gardener, earliness is of the greatest importance 

 as even a few days frequently makes a great difference in price, 

 often a depreciation of from S2.00 to S4.00 per barrel ; the inexper- 

 ienced find this -out when too late; therefore th^ earliest is what is 

 required and Buckbee's Lightning Express is that variety, sow them 

 you will niiike no mistake. Was introduced by us in '87 and sold that 

 year2,0o0 bushels, and each yearthedemand forthem has steadily 



increased; they have been the first peas shipped north from the 

 great pea growing districts of Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and 

 North Carolina, since '88 which can be readily attested to by the 

 growers in those sections and all through the United States and 

 Canada where hundreds of acres of them are annually grown they 

 have attained the same reputation for both earliness and product- 

 iveness. Their growth ranges from two to two and a half, in 

 accordance with the season, they are entirely free from runners, 

 and never require sticking; it is an easy variety to pick as almost 

 a handful can be grasped at a time. Please Observe that the true 

 stock of Buckbee's Lightning Express can be had through our 

 house only.

J. W. BOSS, Paris, Texas, writes: The Liyhtning Express 

 Pea was just what you represented it to he. Positively it is 

 the finest Early Pea I ever planted. It yields three times the 

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

 money with this than with any other Peas I have ever planted. 



FRANK D. LEE, Long Island, N. T., 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 

 find draft. More Orders to follow. 



A Work to Market Gardeners. The Pea is one of your most impor- 

 tant and profitable crops ; you therefore cannot bestow too much 

 care in selecting your seed, as the market is always overstocked 

 with what are called Finest Earlies, and offered at tempting 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 price in the market. There is no variety that deteriorates 

 more rapidly both in earliness and dwarfness of habit than the 

 Early Pea, and it requires a grower to exercise his greatest eare in 

 selecting his stock seed, and its proper culture, in order to keep it 



up to its correct standard, both forearliness and free fromrunners. 

 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 uni- 

 form 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 reduires, and everyone should 

 plant this world's greatest money making pea. Note the low price:
