LARGE WHITE MARROWFAT. Cultivated very extensively for the summer crop. About 

 five feet high, of strong growth. Pods large, cylindrical, rough, light colored and well filled; 

 seeds large, smooth, round and 3-eLlow or white, according to the soil in which they are grown.

LARGE BLACK EYE MARROWFAT. An excellent variety, growing about five feet high; 

 pods large; a prolific bearer and can be recommended as one of the very best Marrowfat 

 sorts. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 10c; Qt. 15c; 4 Qts. 40c; Bushel $2.00 



MELTING SUGAR. There is a class of peas little known in this country, but much used 

 abroad, in which the large, sweet, brittle and succulent pods have none of the tough inner 

 lining found in the ordinary varieties of garden peas; they are used in the same way as snap 

 or string beans. The best of these edible podded sorts is the Melting Sugar, of which we offer 

 a very fine strain. The pods are very large, straight, extremely tender, fine flavored and are 

 borne in great abundance on vines three to four feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 

 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $4.00 



Used extensively for feeding stock, and 

 for making soups, hence it is important 

 to have them free from bugs. We keep 

 constantly on hand a large stock of all these 

 varieties, obtained from the North, where the bugs do not infest them. Our customers 



can rely on having the seed pure. Field peas, in general, may be sown broadcast or in drills, 



using about two bushels of seed to the acre. Write for market prices on ten bushels or more.

PEPPER 



^1^^ 



The culture of pepper is the same as 



for egg plant ; the plants need quite as 



much heat to perfect them, though 



they mature sooner and may be sown 



a little later. Guano, hen dung, or any other bird manure, hoed 



into the surface soil when the plants are about six inches high, will 



wonderfully increase the product and also improve the quahty of 



the fi-uit.
