 PEA. 



McLean's Advancer 



A green %vrinkled variety, about 

 two and a half feet high, with broad, long 

 pods, which are abundantly produced and 

 well filled to the ends. Considered by 

 some the best of the second early sorts. 

 This pea is used very extensively by the 

 market gardeners in' the vicinity of" New 

 York, on account of its great productive- 

 ness, the fine appearance of its ix)ds. and 

 qualitj- of the peas. It is very largely 

 used among canners, as the skin will 

 stand cooking without breaking. Care- ' 

 ful comparison shows that our stock is un- 

 equaled. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. -iOc;

Bliss' Everbearing . . . 



A variety maturing soon after the Gems, and 

 continuing a long time in bearing. Vine stout, about eigh- 

 teen inches ^igh. bearing at the top six to ten broad pods. 

 If these are removed as they mature, and the season and 

 soil ai e favorable, the plant will throw out from the axil of each 

 leaf branches bearing pods which will mature in succession, thus 

 prolonging the season. The large wrinkled peas cook verj- 

 quickh , are tender, of superior flavor, and preferred bv many to 

 anv o'ther sort. Pkt. 10c: Pt. loc ; Qt. iOc: 4 Qts. 60c;

 greatest number of pods of any on our list. Pods contain five to 

 <-e\ en medium sized, dark green peas, which retain their color and 

 '^^\ eetne--s ^\ t-11 after canning. Dry peas wrinkled and sweet. A very 

 desirable ^ariety for canners' use/ Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c: Qt. 20c;

"We are convinced of the 

 great value of this variety 

 for second early market or 

 family use. and we earnest- 

 ly urge all our customers to plant largely of it. Vines vigorous, three 

 to fom- feet high, and little branched ; foliage resembles First and Best 

 in size and color. Pods usually borne in pairs and in great abundance; 

 they are about two and one-half inches long, thick, curved, bright green, 

 carrying six to nine closely crowded peas of the very best qualitj- and 

 color. We know of no pea which remains palatable longer after it 

 becomes large enough to use. Dry pea much wrinkled and flattened, 

 medi'im sized, cream color. This variety ripens with Telephone, and is 

 admirably adapted to canners" use, owing to its great vigor, produc- 

 tiveness, fine color, quality and suitable size of the green peas.

Tliis pea has proved to be a valuable 

 acquisition. Tines vigorous, grow- 

 ing about four feet high, with large 

 coarse leaves. Pods very large, 

 filled with immense peas, which are tender, sweet, and of excellent 

 flavor. Notwithstanding the large amount of inferior and sjiurious 

 stock which has been sold, no pea of recent introduction has gained 

 more rapidly in popularity than this, thus showing that it has 

 sterling merit which gardeners appreciate. The stock we offer is 

 prolific and has been carefully selected. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;
