 house bench where a temperature of 50 or 60 degrees can be

AMERICAN 



"Pure Cuhure" Mushroom Spawn.

 and marketable product than spawn " run " from hit-and-miss 

 large, small and unevenly shaped and colored varieties of mush- 

 rooms. It is sold in bricks measuring about 85 xSjX I5 inches. 

 Each brick weighs from Ij to 1| lbs. sufficient to spawn an area 

 of 9 square feet. Price per lb. 18c., 8 lbs, for $1.15, per 100 lbs. 

 $12.50. Purchaser pays transportation.

The finest type of large, white French Mushroom propagated 

 in a sterilized medium insures freedom from inferior types as 

 well as the bacterial enemies so often prevalent in ordinary 

 spawn. Sold in compressed tablets measuring 85x25x15 inches 

 to be split into four portions, each portion to be planted ten to 

 twelve inches apart. Tablets, 10c. each, $1.00 doz., $7.00 per 100.

HENDERSON'S 



PROSPERITY PEA. 



The distinctive merits are its extreme earliness com- 

 bined with its abundant production of immense pods, 

 each filled with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled 

 marrow peas of the most delicious flavor — as large 

 as sweet and as tender as the finest late wrinkled 

 marrow pea grown. When one considers that 

 peas of this superior size and qualit}^ are ready 

 for picking only a day or two later than, the 

 little round-seeded hardshell " Extra Earlies," 

 one realizes what a valuable acquisition our 

 Prosperity Pea really is. Height about 3 feet. 

 Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 



" Wrinkled Peas always have been and ii is advised 

 by you that they should be planted somewhat later than the 

 hard shells. This, I guess is true geneially, but yout 

 prosperity constitutes an absolute exception. For the pasi 

 seven years the nadves have annually laughed at me for 

 planting my Ptospeiily Peas in Match and again when the 

 ground froze over the seed. Then when I would go out milk 

 a broom, as I have had to do every year but this, and brush 

 the snow off the young vines, I have been called funny 

 things. But every single year, without an injury to a 

 single vine, we have enjoyed quantities of this vegetable, when 

 others were commencing to blow. Decoration day peas are 

 no new stunt. This year I had mature pods fifty-five days 

 jromseed. HENRY M.LU MMIS, Chatham, N J. 



Horsford's Market Garden Pea. 



A grand midseason wrinkled Pea noted for 

 its uniform growth, about 2 feet high, and its 

 prodigious yield. It has yielded more sheUed 

 Peas per acre than any other American variety. 

 The pods, though of medium size are literally 

 packed with peas of sweet, delicious flavor. 



Price, 25c. qt., $1.70 pk., $6.00 bush. 



NOTT'S EXCELSIOR PEA. 



This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, 

 usually ready for table in 40 to 45 days from 

 planting. It grows about 14 in. high. Of vigorous constitution, and wonderfully 

 productive. The even, regular habit of the plant is a great advantage, particularly 

 to market growers. Nott's Excelsior has not only come to stay, but will eventu- 

 ally supersede many sorts of like character. Price, 30c. qt., $2.20 pk., $8.00 bush. 



" The Notts Excelsior Peas I bought from you last spring did very well indeed. The crop was a 

 bountijul one, and the vines bore pods from early in July until frost. I am much pleased with the 

 variety." JAMES F. BURKE. Canton St., North Easton, Mass.
