Sometimes sold as Dwarf Telephone. A semi-dwarf, 

 very large podded main crop pea similar to Improved 

 Stratagem but a little earlier maturing and lighter in color of 

 vine and pod. A vigorous growth is characteristic of this 

 variety. Market gardeners, even when the season is not the 

 most favorable, can depend on it for a splendid yield of hand- 

 some pods filled with very large peas of the finest quality. 

 (Sold out.) 

 _ , . Most stocks of the large podded. 



Improved Mratagem semi-dwarf, English varieties of 

 peas have been so wanting in uniformity and evenness of type 

 as to disgust American planters, but by constant effort we 

 have developed a stock 

 which comes true and 

 we do not hesitate to 

 pronounce it one of the 

 best of the large pod- 

 ded sorts. The pods 

 are of largest size, 

 long and pointed, dark 

 green, and uniformly 

 filled with very large, 

 dark green peas of the

wrinkled pea and 

 wherever known 

 proving a popular main 

 crop sort for the mar- 

 ket or home garden. 



The vine is only about three feet high, vigorous, hardy, 

 and unusually productive. Pods fully four inches long, 

 broad, quite straight, deep green in color, handsome 

 and very well filled with large peas which are tender and 

 unsurpassed in quality. The stock we offer is vastly 

 superior in productiveness, size of pod and quality to 

 much that is sold under this name. (Crop failed) 



*> .1 r .1 »yr l . Vines of medium height, 



rnde or the Market stiff, with large, dark 



green leaves and bearing at the top, generally in pairs, 

 a good crop of large, pointed, dark green pods well filled 

 with large peas of good flavor. We have given this 

 variety special attention and the stock we offer is so 

 much superior to that commonly sold as to seem a dif- 

 ferent sort. We recommend it as one of the very best 

 of the large podded varieties, especially suitable for 

 market gardeners. (Crop failed) 



H/I 1j. # O There is a class of peas not gener- 



Melting OUgar ally known in this country but 



much used abroad in which the sweet, brittle and suc- 

 culent 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. 



broad, curved or twisted, extremely tender, finely 



flavored and are borne in great abundance on vines four 



to five feet high. Seed medium to large, smooth, round.

^nampion Or Ungland universally admitted to 



be one of the richest and best flavored of the late peas. 



Height four to five feet; seed light green and much 



shriveled. Very inferior and mixed shocks of this sort are 



frequently offered but when the seed is as well grown and 



selected as that we offer we consider the variety equal in 



quality to any in cultivation and one of the best of its 



season, either for the home garden or market gardener.

FIELD PEAS 



Field Peas deserve more general attention for fodder than they now receive. In the north for dairy cows and for 

 hogs, they are fully equal to corn, and about six weeks earlier. For cows, the crop should be cut and fed green. For 

 hogs alone it can be used as pasturage. Field Peas can be sown either alone or with oats as early as the condition of the 

 soil will permit. If the stubble from green winter rye or other crops cut in June be turned under and sown to mixed peas 

 and oats, it will furnish a large amount of forage in August when grass pasture is usually short. 



As fertilizer, field peas should be plowed under when in blossom. They will grow on land that will not produce clover.
