M. FERRY & GO'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



PEA S — SECOND EARLY VARIETIES 



- m j » A green, wrinkled variety about two and 



McLean S one-half to three feet high, with long, broad 

 ArlvanrPi* pods which are abundantly produced and 

 ****v«*iu,er well filled to the ends. This pea is used very 

 extensively by market gardeners because of its produc- 

 tiveness, the fine appearance of its pods ana 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. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 30c; Qt. 45c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $9.00 

 m» ii« ii Vines stout, about two and one- 



Yorkshire Hero 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 quality and will 

 be preferred to any other by those who like a rich, mar- 

 row-like pea. Seed large, wrinkled and flattened. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 30c; Qt. 50c; 4 Qts. $1.75; Bu. $9.50 

 r»i» » t* l • Vine stout, about two and one- 



BllSS overbearing 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 

 large and wrinkled, cook very quickly, are tender, of su- 

 perior flavor and preferred by many to any other sort.

rpi » j . i Vines vigorous, 

 1 he Admiral about four feet 



high. Pods usually borne in pairs, 



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 me- 

 dium size, cream color. Owing to its 



great vigor, productiveness, fine 



color, quality and suitable size of 



the green peas, it is admirably 



adapted for canners' use. Pkt. 10c; 



Pt. 30c; Qt. 45c; 4 Qts. $1.50; 



Bu. $9.00 



Duke of Albany wrinkled i§a 



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. There is an 

 increasing demand for peas of this 

 color and the productiveness of this 

 variety makes it a very profitable 

 sort for market gardeners while its splendid 

 quality should give it a place in every home 

 garden. In many localities this variety is sold 

 as an improved strain of Telephone, especially 

 by market gardeners who find its darker color 

 a distinct advantage in that the pods retain a 

 marketable appearance longer after picking 

 than do those of lighter colored sorts. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 35c; Qt. 60c; 4 Qts. $2.00; Bu. $12.00 



nn i l The Telephone has become the 



1 elepnone leading pea with market gar- 

 deners whose trade appreciates fine appear- 

 ance and high quality. Vines vigorous, grow- 

 ing about four feet high, with large, coarse, 

 light colored leaves and producing an abun- 

 dance of very large pointed pods filled with very 

 large peas which are tender, sweet and of ex- 

 cellent 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 attained greater popu- 

 larity than this, thus showing that it has steiiing merit. 

 The stock we offer has been carefully selected and 

 is very prolific. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 60c; 4 Qts. $2.00; 

 Bu. $12.00 



rp I i f Stronger growing and hardier 



1 elegraph, Or Long vine with darker foliage and 

 Island Mammoth P ods than the Telephone; peas 



isiana mammotn very }arge and of dark green 



color; seed almost smooth. A splendid sort for the market 

 garden; will give good returns even under conditions that 

 would cause most varieties to fail. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; 

 Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $7.50 



* ii This comparatively new pea is in many re- 



Aluerman spects the very best early main crop variety 

 of the valuable Telephone type. The vines grow nearly five 

 feet high, are dark green, vigorous and exceedingly pro- 

 ductive. Pods very large, long, dark green, similar to but 

 a little larger and a shade darker in color than Duke 

 of Albany and about the same in season. The peas are of 

 largest size and unsurpassed in quality. Market gardeners 

 are demanding the large podded, dark colored sorts which 

 retain their fine appearance even after shipping a long 

 distance. The Alderman answers these requirements and 

 furthermore is the most productive variety of this class. 

 We recommend it unreservedly. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 40c; Qt. 65c; 

 4 Qts. $2.50; Bu. $12.50 



If peas are ordered by mail or express prepaid add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges.
