PEAS. 



ALLEN'S FIRST AND BEST. — This is undoubtedly 

 the nest strain of extreme early, and remarkably uni- 

 form extra early, peas that ha-t ever been produced. It 

 is equally as early as the choicest stock of Alaska, and 

 i he peas have better flavor: the vines are very slender, 

 t . e y quick growth, and average about 2-1 inches high; 

 .a |."ds are well nlled, and the entire crop could be 

 gathered generally in one picking. Undoubtedly the best 

 ot ..'.1 extra early peas. Where planted exclusively. 

 Bowing should be made every week to insure a constant 

 Bupply of fresh "young pods. Pkt. 10c; pint 25c; quart 45c, 

 by in.til. postpaid. By express, receiver to pay charges: 

 four quarts 50c: peck 90c; bushel $100. 



BLISS' EVERBEARING.— A celebrated wrinkled pea 

 oneanda-half to t-vo feet high, of good quality and fla- 

 vonirs season is late to very late; it is especially adapted 

 for summerand autumn cropping: it has a remarkaule 

 and valuable branching habit, sometimes form ng as 

 many as ten stalks to one root — the result of a single 

 seed: it requires no sticking; repeated pickings may be 

 made, for the vines continue to produce blossoms and 

 successive crops of pods in iis efforts to ripen its seeds; 



it is thus a continuous bearer through a long season. 

 Pkt. 10c: pint 25c; quart 45c, postpaid. By express: four 

 quarts K)c: peck $1.25; bushel $4 00. 



SURPRISE.— This is one of the best new wrinkled 

 peas and is today one of the most famous. It has made 

 an enviable reputation within the brief time it has been 

 on the market, and has sprung into universal popularity. 

 It is about or quite as early as the smooth varie. ies. and 

 superior to them in qua ity and yield ; it ranks with the 

 very earliest of the wrinkled sort. The vines grow aoout 

 21 inches high and require no sticks. This pea has at- 

 tracted universal attention and everywhere has ma'li- a 

 splendid record; it bears with a profusion that is truly 

 remarkable, and the quality is exceptionally good. Pkt. 

 10c: pint 25c: auart 45c, postpaid. By express : peck *1 ', r, 

 bushel $B .50. 



PROSPERITY, or GRADUS.-This fine extra early pea 

 combines finest quality and extra earliness, and is a so 

 very productive: it is very hardy and can be planted 

 fully as early as the spring peas: grows vigorous and 

 healthy. Vines gr >w three feet high and are very pro- 

 lific, bearing pods fully as large as Telephone ; the color
