the bottom and bearing abundantly roundish pods 3 to 3 J4 inches 

 long, well-filled with 6 to 8 large wrinkled Peas of excellent quality

♦Chelsea, Henderson's. Height, 15 inches. (Crop failure.) 



♦Everbearing. Height, 3 feet. A prolific and conti-nuous-bearing

♦Horsford's Market Garden. Height, 2 feet. A grand wrinkled 

 Pea, noted for its uniform growth and prodigious yield. The 

 pods, though of medium size, are packed with Peas of sweet 

 flavor. (See engraving.) 



♦Laxtonian. A grand, early, dwarf Pea. The pods of Laxtonian 

 are very large, and are produced on a low-growing, sturdy vine 

 without support of any kind. Unlike many of its class, Laxton- 

 ian fills to the full its ample pods with large and luscious Peas. 

 The flavor is just as rich and good as any of the later varieties, 

 which entitles it to a permanent place in every garden. It is 

 ready for use just about a week later than the very early sorts, 

 and is incomparably good in quality. It is admirable for private 

 gardens, where its abundant crop, produced so early in the 

 season, is extremely welcome. The plant is only 1}4 feet high, 

 branching in habit. Pods and plant are rich, dark green in 

 color, revealing a constitutional strength which enables it to 

 resist the extreme conditions to which Peas are subjected in 

 many sections of the United States
