SUPESIOE GAEDEU PEAS. , 



New varieties — imported from England — of great merit. 



CARTER'S FIRST CROP.—Described as tlie very earliest and best 

 pea in cultivation. The plants are thicklj and uniformly 

 covered with well-filled pods, and one of its chief merits is that 

 the ground can be cleared, and planted with another crop 

 nearly a fortnight before other early peas are ready. Price, 

 per quart ". 80 cts. 



CARACTACÜS.— Originated with the late Mr. Waite, who also intro- 

 duced the popular variety known as the Early Daniel O'Rourke. 

 This variety can be strongly recommended as one of the best 

 Early Peas ever introduced to this country. It is an even 

 cropper, and very desirable for the market gardener, and all 

 others wishing a productive and extra early pea. Price, per 

 quart 60 cts. 



LAXTON'S PROLIFIC EARLY LONa-POD. (See page 28.) 

 Messrs. Carter & Co., of London, thus describe this pea: 

 *' Some pods (in a green state) were exhibited by us at Mark 

 Lane, averaging eleven and twelve peas in a pod. For a second 

 early pea, and a pea for early sowing in autumn, there is no pea 

 of a similar class in cultivation to equal it." In sealed pint 

 packets, each $1.00. 



McLEAN'S LITTLE GEM.— A truly valuable dwarf variety ; fully 

 tested in this country last year ; is a dwarf, prolific, green 

 wrinkled marrow ; habit similar to the early Tom Thumb. 

 This valuable variety has all the sugary flavor of the late 

 wrinkled peas coupled with a first early pea Per qt., $1.00.

 flavor, height 2 feet Per qt., 80 cts.

 licious flavor ; fine large peas iu well-filled pods, and plenty
