58 WM. C. BECKERT, 



PEAS.— Continued. 



The Stanley. A coss between the American Wonder 

 and Telephone. Produces large, -well-filled pods, nearly up in 

 size to those of the Telephone. The peas are very sweet and 

 delicate in flavor. The vine is dwarf, and stock with uncom- 

 monly large foliage. In rich soil it grows about 18 inches 

 high, and the full-grown pods often measure 4 inches in 

 length by over 2 inches in circumference. It is a second 

 early variety; ripens its pods very evenly, so that the entire 

 crop can be takan at one picking. A tremendous cropper, 

 and will prove of great value as a market or family pea. 

 Price per pkt. , 15 cts. 



Early Prize. A cross between Tom Thumb and the 

 Advancer. Grow eighteen inches high, being slightly taller 

 than Premium Gem, and, while equally early, it is decidedly 

 a better cropper than either that or Tom Tumb. Pod large, 

 heavy and well filled. Also equal to the wrinkled varieties 

 in sweetness and flavor, it can be planted earlier than these 

 without danger of rotting. Its combination of earliness, 

 dwarf growth, yield and quality, with the large size, and good 

 filling of the pod, ensures its future as one of the best pea for 

 the family or garden. Pkt., 5 cts.; qt., 40 cts ; pk., $2 75.

 cts.; pk., $2.50.
