NOTT'S EXCELSIOR PEA 



Early, Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality 

 A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous constitu- 

 tion; enormously productive, and generally excellent. The pods are of 

 good size, produced liberally, and are extremely well filled with excellent 

 Peas of perfect quality. The plant is among the smallest, very rarely 

 exceeding 1.5 inches in height, and is easily grown. It still is, and long 

 will be, extremely popular. Many people who have only small gardens 

 use this sort exclusively, making repeated sowings for successive crops. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 23c. Dt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck. 



THOMAS LAXTON PEA 



An extra early wrinkled "marrow" of excellent quality, and a valuable addition to 

 the very early varieties. It is 3 feet high, and somewhat more vigorous in habit than 

 Prosperity. The pods are medium to large, blunt ended and filled to the tip with large 

 Peas of true, rich, "marrow" flavor. Its strong vine and heavy cropping character 

 make it very suitable for an early crop in the private garden. It may be used to / 

 great advantage as an immediate successor to Prosperity. . If sown together, / 

 Thomas Laxton will be in full production just as the crop of Prosperity is diminish- / 

 ing. Price, 15c. pkt, 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck. / 



HENDERSON'S 



FIRST OF ALL PEA 



Beyond All Question trie Earliest Pea Grown 

 The extreme earliness of First of All em- 

 phatically distinguishes it from all others. For 

 forty years it has produced the earliest crop of 

 this delicious vegetable, and is still doing so. 

 While it lacks the "marrow" flavor of the 

 larger and later sorts, it has a sweetness peculiar 

 to its class, and a flavor which is preferred by 

 many. Anyway, First of All may be eaten and 

 jthe crop removed while other sorts are matur- 

 ing, for it has been so closely bred to produce 

 its crop on time, that quite often the entire crop 

 may be removed at one picking. The slim, 

 3-foot vines permit close planting; its hardi- 

 ness enables it to be planted as soon as frost 

 eaves the ground. (See engraving.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts , 

 $2.50 peck.

JUNO PEA 



Ideal for Main Crop, Resists Heat Perfectly 

 For strong, healthy vines, uniformity to type and reliability in cropping, Juno 

 stands alone among the main crop sorts. The foliage is very dark green, a 

 sure indication of vigor. The plant is 25^ feet high, heavily branched; so 

 robust that it needs but little support, and so resistant to heat, that it stands 

 our summers better than any other. It is a sure and heavy cropper. The 

 pods are medium in size, but remarkably well filled with large Peas of perfect 

 flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., 

 $2.50 peck. 



CHELSEA PEA 



Bears an Enormous Crop of Pods Full of Delicious Peas 



A very distinct dwarf variety, producing an enormous number of small, 

 but well-filled pods. The plant is 15 inches high, and produces its crop 

 very early in the season. The pods are slim, but long, slightly curved, 

 and literally filled with Peas, surprisingly large for so slim a pod. It is 

 of excellent quality, and justlv a favorite with all who grow it. Price, 

 10c. pkt., 30c. pt.,'50c. qt., $1.85 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck. 



ADVANCER PEA 



Wonderfully Prolific, Exceptionally Good Flavor 



Many claim that Advancer is equal in flavor to Champion of England: 

 indeed it is sometimes named Dwarf Champion. The plant is 21-2 feet 

 high, extremely vigorous and is noted particularly for the enormous number 

 of pods produced on each vine — no variety excels it in this respect. The 

 pods are small, but the Peas so densely packed therein that the yield per 

 plant exceeds that of many of the larger podded sorts. It is one of the few 

 English varieties that has become perfectly adapted to American conditions 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck.
