PEAS — Second Early 



McLean^s Advancer 



The Admiral 



A green, wrinkled variety about two and a half to three 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 market gardeners because of its productiveness, the fine appearance of its pods 

 and Is popular with consumers on account of its quality. It is also largely used by canners. By careful selection we 

 have developed a strain showing marked improvements in vigor of plant, size of pod and productiveness. Comparisons 

 show that our stocks are unsurpassed in these respects. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50 



Vines vigorous, 

 about four feet high, 

 comparatively slender, little branched. 

 Pods usually borne in pairs and in great 

 abvmdance; they are about two and one- 

 half inches long, curved, bright green, 

 crowded with six to nine peas of the very 

 best quality and color. We know of no 

 pea which remains palatable longer after 

 it becomes large enough to use. Seed 

 much wrinkled, of medium size, cream 

 color. This variety ripens about with 

 Telephone. Owing to its great vigor, pro- 

 ductiveness, fine color, quality and suit 

 able size of the green peas, it is admirably 

 adapted for canners' use. Pkt. 10c;

Duke of Albany tlfl^lfi 



Pea similar to Telephone in growth and 

 season but darker in color of foliage and 

 pods. Vine four and one-half to five 

 feet high, vigorous and strong growing; 

 pods very large, straight and thick, borne 

 in great profusion and when in condition 

 for picking, of a deep green color. 



The variety furnishes its pods well to- 

 gether and this feature, with very fine 

 color and excellent quality, makes it 

 particularly well adapted for market 

 gardeners' use. (See cut and further des- 

 cription page 5) . Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt.40c;

The Telephone 

 has become the 

 leading pea with 

 market gardeners whose trade appreciates 

 fine appearance and high quality. Vines 

 vigorous, growing about four feet high, 

 with large, coarse, light colored leaves 

 and producing an abundance of very large 

 pods filled with immense peas which ai-e 

 tender, sweet and of excellent flavor. It 

 comes into use soon after the Premium 

 Gem and is one of the best sorts for either 

 home or market. Notwithstanding the 

 large amount of inferior and spurious 

 stock which has been sold, no pea has at- 

 tained greater popularity than this, thus 

 showing that it has sterling merit. The 

 stock we offer has been carefully selected 

 and is very prolific. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 36c;

Yorkshire Hero 



Telephone 



Vines stout, about two and one 

 half feet high, bearing at the 

 top a number of broad pods filled with large peas that 

 remain a long time in condition for use and which never 

 become as hard as most sorts. The peas are of fine qual- 

 ity and will be preferred to any other by those who like 

 a rich, marrow-like pea. Seed large, wrinkled and flat- 

 tened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. 75c;

mice' FxrAv^KoaVinrv '^^^^ stout, about two and 

 ISS CVerOearing one-half feet high, bearing 

 at the top six to ten broad pods. If these are picked as 

 they mature and the season and soil are favorable, the 

 plant will throw out branches bearing pods which will 

 mature in succession, thus prolonging the season. The 

 peas are very large and wrinkled, cook very quickly, are 

 tender, of superior flavor and preferred by many to any 

 other sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. 75c;
