Horsford's Market Garden Tum ti,°L"'S'tre greatest 



number of pods of any on our list. Pods contain five to seven medium 

 sized, sweet, dark green peas which retain their color and sweetness 

 well after canning. Seed rather small and wrinkled. A very desirable 

 variety for canners' use. Pkt.lOo; Pt.loc; (^t.^Sc; 4Qts.75c; Bu.$4.00 



IMPROVED STRATAGEM SwwS^EngfslfvfrSfeitt 



peas have been so wanting in imiformity and evenness of type as to 

 disgust American planters, but by constant effort we have developed 

 a stock of this, the best variety of that class, which comes true and 

 we do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the best of the large podded 

 sorts. The pods are of largest size and uniformly filled with very 

 large, dark green peas of the finest quality. One of the very best 

 wrinkled varieties for market gardeners. Pkt. 10c; Ft. 25c; Qt. 35c;

 and bearing at the top, generally in pairs, a good crop of large, dark 

 green pods well filled with large peas of good flavor. We have given 

 this vai-iety special attention, and the stock we offer is so much supe- 

 9 rior to that commonly sold as to seem a different sort. We recom- 

 mend it as one of the best of the large podded varieties. Pfet. 10c;

CHAMPION OF tTv^e-'LTtf 



FNir^l ANPi "versally admitted to be 



E-l^VJLi/nl^L/ one of the richest and 

 best flavored peas. Height four to five 

 feet; seed light green and much shriv- 

 eled. Very inferior and mixed stocks 

 of this sort 

 are frequent- 

 ly offered but 

 when the 

 seed is as well 

 grown and 

 selected a s 

 that we offer, 

 w e consider 

 the variety 

 equal in qual- 

 ity to any in 

 cultivation, 

 and one of 

 the best of its 

 season, either 

 for the ama- 

 teur or mar- 

 ket gardener. 

 Our stock is 

 unequaled.

Large White Marrowfat Svef^fof "finning: 



Vines about five feet high and of strong growth. Pods 

 large, cylindrical, rough, light colored and well filled; 

 seed large, smooth, round and light yellow. It is ex- 

 cellent for summer use, but inferior in quality to most 

 of the newer sorts, although undoubtedly one of the 

 most productive of the garden varieties. Pkt. 10c;

Large Black Eye Marrowfat ^,tT^X^I^g

 can be recommended as one of the very best Marrow-

There is a class of peas little 

 known in this country, but 

 much used abroad, in which the large, sweet, brittle 

 and succulent pods have none of the tough, inner lin- 

 ing 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, and our strain is exceptionally fine. The pods 

 are very large, extremely tender, fine flavored, and 

 are borne in great abundance on vines four to five feet 

 high. Crop failed. 



MELTING SUGAR 



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 earUer. 

 For cows, the crop should be cut and fed green. For hogs alone it can be used as pasturage. 



Field peas can be so-mi either alone or with oats as early as the condition of the soil Avill 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.
