SECOND EARLY PEAS. 



CHANT'S FAVORITE— 3— This new variety 

 of my own iatroductiou is unquestiona- 

 bly the finest medium and late Pea ever 

 offered, coming into use just after the 

 '(arly varieties are through beariiig. This 

 '.rait a)one makes it an exceptionally valuable 

 «ort. It is a luxuriant grower, growing from 3 

 so 4 feet high, is an enormous yielder, com- 

 pletely ou yielding all other varieties. The 

 pods ^re of good size and always well filled with 

 exceptionally sweet and highly flavored Peas. 

 It is nearly an upright grower, but will do bet- 

 *,er if staked or planted along a fence. It will 

 please you, either for family, market garden, 

 3r shipping purposes. (My original seed was 

 secured from an old friend of General Grant's at 

 Galena, 111., who had received it from Mr. 

 Grant.) }4 pt. 15c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c, % bu. 70c, 14

>40»SF0RD'S'MARKET GARDEN— The vine of this 

 variety is of medium height, giving the greatest 

 Qumber of pods of any on our list. Pods con- 

 tain five to seven medium sized, dark green 

 Peas, which retain their color and sweetness 

 well after picking. Dry Peas wrinkled and 

 sweet. A very desirable variety for canners use.

«LISS'S ^EW EVERBEARING— A variety matur- 

 ing soon after the Gems and continuing a long 

 time in bearing. Vine stout, about 18 inches 

 high, bearing at top six to ten broad pods. If 

 these are removed as they mature, and the sea- 

 son and soil are favorable, the plant will throw 

 out from the axil of each leaf, branches bear- 

 ing f)ods which will mature in succession, thus 

 prolonging the season. The large, wrinkled 

 Peas cook vei-y quickly, are tender, of superior 

 flavor, and preferred by many to any other

 size and color. Pods usually borne in pairs and in great abundance, length about 8im 

 Inches, thick, curved, briglit green, carrying six to nine closely crowded Pe»»

 ed to any other, bv those who like a rich marrow-like Pea. }4 pt. 10c, pt. 18c, qt. 3(K 

 IMPROVED CHAMPION OF ENGLAND— Very productive and universally admitted to l» 

 one of the richest and best flavored Peas. Height 4 or 5 feet; seed whitlsh-gree'- 

 and much shriveled. Very inferior and mixed stocks of this sort are frequently o~ 

 fered, but when the seed is as well grown and selected as that we offer, we consid*' 

 the variety equal in quality to any in cultivatio'" , and one of the best of its seasot* 

 either for the amateur or market gardener. ^ pt. lOc^ pt. 16c, qt. SOc. 

 IMPROVED STRATAGEW— The large-podded semi-dwarf English varieties of Peas hav. 

 been so wanting in uniformity and evenness of type as to disgust American planters.bw 

 by constant effort we have developed a stock of this, the best variety of that clan* 



sort. ^ pt. 10c, pt. 18c, qt. SOc 

 tELEPHO'NE— This Pea has proved to be a valu- improved strataoem. 



able acquisition. Vines large, with large coarse leaves. Pods 

 very large, filled with immense Peas, which are tender, sweet, 

 and of exceUent flavor. Notwithstanding the large amount of 

 Inferior and spurious stock which has been sold, no Pea of re- 

 cent introduction has gained more rapidly in popularity than 

 ihis, thus showing that it has sterling merit, which gardeners 

 *ppreciate. The stock I offer is prolific and has been carefully 

 selected. pt. lOc. pt. I8c, qt. SOc. . 

 MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR— The re is a class of Peas (little known 

 in this country, but much used abroad, )in 

 svhich the large sweet, brittle, succulent 

 oods have none of the toueh inner lining 

 found in the ordinary varieties of garden 

 Peas. They are used in the same way as 

 map or string beans. We offer a very pure 

 itock of Melting Sugar, the the best of the 

 •edible podded sorts. The pods are very 

 .arge, straight, extremely tender, fine 

 flavored, and are born in ereat abun- 

 dance on vines 3 to 4 feet high. K V^- l-'ic

which comes true, and we do not hesitate w 

 pronounce it the very best of the large po* 

 ded sorts. The pods are of immense six* 

 and uniformally filled with very large dart 

 green Peas of the finest quality. All tb» 

 qualities of the old Stratagem are highly d» 

 veloped, and it is vastly superior to tti» 

 stocks now generally sold as Stratagen 

 Vine medium high, but very stocky, wttl 

 very broad bright green leaves and bearitij 

 an abundance of large handsome pods, r*

 THE QUEEN— It is a green, wrinkled, bih^ 

 crop variety, growing about 2 to 23^ feet U 

 height. The pods are very large, slight!' 

 curved, produced mostly in pairs, and a' 

 over the vine from bottom to top. The Pea» 

 are large, oval deep green, and of a deliciou» 

 flavor when cooked. They are so packed u 

 the pods that when open it would seen 

 Impossible that they could be contained it

 being of a branching habit, this variety ca*. 

 be sown more thinly than most varietiei

 them. Our customers can rely on having the seed pure. FleU
