TWO GRAND NEW PEAS, 



NEW HEROINE PEAS. 



This new variety is considered the greatest acquisition we have had in 

 new Peas for a decade. It is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea and 

 o-rows uniformly two to two and a half feet high, coming in between 

 Advancer and Champion of England, and hears a profusion of large, long 

 slightly curved, pointed pods, containing from 9 to 12 large Peas of finest 

 quality. This new Pea is destined to eclipse the Stratagem and Pride of 

 the Market for either private use or market purposes, and being nearly 

 as early as Advancer, will also be more desirable than that well known 

 variety. It is well known by all who have grown these varieties that 

 it is difficult to keep them true and pure, the trouble being that they 

 have been introduced before the types were sufficiently fixed; but in 

 Heroine we have a variety that after careful test has been found to run 

 true and even, and when we say that in field culture we have found it 

 to ripen and yield double the quantity of peas that the ordinary varie- 

 ties do, it will be readily seen that in addtion to its good quality, it is an 

 immense cropper.

Hew profusion peas. 



The Profusion is claimed to be the most prolific Pea ever introduced. 

 It is of vigorous growth, the haulm attaining three feet in height and of 

 a very branching character — four to eight laterals starting from the 

 root. The haulm is very stout, the main stem usually branching at the 

 first three to five nodes above the ground. The pods are usually pro- 

 duced in pairs, from 50 to 90 pods to the plant. They are well packed 

 with large, luscious Peas, of very sweet and splendid quality. 



The Peas are of very large size, often one-half inch in diameter, when 

 green, and are packed closely together in the pods, five to nine in a pod. 

 The plants are continuous bearers, extending over a period of several 

 weeks. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready fur the table July 9th. Its 

 immense productiveness, stout, healthy growth and fine quality must 

 make it a leading variety for main crop as soon as it becomes known.

 Immensely productive. A remarkable keeper, yet the skin is .very thin and delicate meat u 



very thick and seed cavity small. Another feature is that the green squashes can be Uoea at any
