LIVINGSTON'S PROLIFIC EARLY MAR 

 KET. — It is claimed that none of the numerous ex- 

 tra '^arlies compare with Livingston's Prolific Early 

 Market in length of pod. number of peas in a pod, or 

 number of pods to the vine. It is claimed that a sin- 

 gle plant will yield 40 to 50 well-developed peas as the 

 result of one pea sown. The quality is one of the very 

 best, one of the sweetest and finest flavored of the 

 earlv smooth varieties. You should not fail to try

SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR.— This comes into 

 bearing a few days later than Nott's Excelsior and is 

 undoubtedly a fine, early, wrinkled pea for either home 

 use or market gardeners. Having had several calls for 

 this pea. I take pleasure in listing it this year for the 

 first time. It has longer and broader pods of a lighter 

 green color than Xott's Excelsior. The pods are square 

 at the ends, with six or eight large size peas to the 

 pod. The vines grow 15 inches long and are very 

 hardy, permitting early planting. They are heavy 

 bearers, aiid on account of its hardiness and large 

 sized pods, many prefer it to the large podded, taller 

 varieties. I'Ut. iOc : pt. ."iOc : qt. 50c. postpaid. By ex-

 bearer through a long season, and the time of maturity 

 is late to very late, especially adapted to summer and 

 autumn cropping. I'kt. 10c: pt. 25c: qt. 45c. postpaid.
