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. 



Where earliness, productiveness, large-sized pods and sweetness 

 of flavor are desired, this is the variety to grow; it may be truly 

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

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

 market in 40 days, the entire crop can be 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 82.00 to ?4.00 per barrel ; the inexper- 

 ienced find this out when too late, therefore the earliest is what is 

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

 you will make no mistake. Was introduced hv us in '87 and sold that 

 year 2,000 bushels, and each year the demand for them 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 readily be attested to by the 

 growers of 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.

A Word 10 Market Gardeners. The Pea is one of your most impor- 

 tant and profitable crops; you therefore cannot bestow too much 

 care m 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 care in 

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



up to its correct standard, both for earliness and free from runners. 

 Buckbee's Lightning Express has always maintained the highest 

 reputation with gardeners lor its earliness, productiveness and fine 

 quality, and is today the best known and the most popidar 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 requires, and evei-yone should 

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