PEAS— SECOND EARLY VARIETIES— Continued 



» Ij This is in many respects the very best early main 



Alderman crop variety of the valuable Telephone type. 

 The vines are tall growing, about foui' and one-half to five feet 

 high, dark green, vigorous and exceedingly productive. The 

 pods are of largest size, often five to five and one-half inches 

 long, dark green, similar to but a little larger and a shade 

 darker in color than those of 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 we recommend it unreservedly. Pkt. 10c;

 way as snap beans. The pods of Melting Sugar are very 

 large, four to four and one-half inches long, broad, often
