 a late fall crop it has few equals ; height 20 inches. Qt., 30 

 cts. ; 4 qts., $1.00 ; peck, $1.60 ; bu., $6.40.

 green-seeded Alaska type, but a great improvement, being 

 much earlier than the Alaska and bearing larger pods.

 loaded down with pods, which are crowded with the large 

 peas, closely shouldered in pod. It is very uniform in 

 growth, and usually produces pods containing seven or eight 

 peas. Qt., 30 cts. ; 4 qts., $1.00 ; peck, $1.60; bu., $6.40.

 height 14 inches. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., Ji.oo; peck, $1.75 ; 

 bu., $7.00.

 inches. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; peck, Si. 75 ; bu., $7.00. 



Surprise Pea. The vines grow about two feet high, and
