PEAS. 



ALLEN'S FIRST AND BEST.-This is undoubtedly the 

 best strain of extreme early, and remarkably uniform extra 

 early peas that has ever been produced ; it is equally as early 

 as the choicest stock of Alaska, and the peas have better 

 flavor ; the vines are very slender, of very quick growth, and 

 average about twenty-four inches high. The pods are well 

 filled and the entire crop could be gathered generally in one 

 picking. Undoubtedly the best of all extra early peas. Where 

 planted exclusively, sowing should be made every week, to in- 

 sure a constant supply of fresh young pods- Pkt. 10c. ; pint

 half to two feet high, of good quality and flavor", its season is late to 

 very late: it is especially adapted for summer and autumn cropping; it 

 has a remarkable and valuable branching habit, sometimes forming as 

 many as ten stalks to one root— the result of a single seed '. it requires 

 no sticking: repeated pickings may be made, for the vines continue to 

 produce blossoms and successive crops of pods in its effort to ripen its 

 seeds : it is thus a continuous bearer through a long season. Pkt. 10c. :

 tention and everywhere has made a splendid record : it bears with a
