PEAS 



SECOND EARLY VARIETIES 



l»/l ¥ » A green, wrinkled variety about 



iViCL.ean S two andonehalf to three feethlK^h 

 AA-wannta^f with broad, long pods which aie 

 .^uvdiiv^ci abundantly produced and well 

 filled to the ends. This pea is used very extei- 

 sively by market gardeners because of its 

 productiveness, the fine appear- 

 ance of its pods and is popular with 

 consumers on account of its quality. 

 It is also largely used by canners. 

 By careful selection v/e have de- 

 veloped a strain showing marked 

 improvements in vigor of plant, size 

 of pod and productiveness. Pkt.lOc;

 •\r I i . ¥j Vines stout, 



Yorkshire Hero about two 



and one-half feet high, bearing at 

 the top a number of broad pods till- 

 ed with large peas that remain a 

 long time in condition for use and 

 which never become as hard as most 

 sorts. The peas are of fine quality 

 and will be preferred to any other 

 by those who like a rich, marrow- 

 like pea. Seed large, wrinkled and 

 flattened. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c;

Bliss' Everbearing stout? 



about two and one half feet high, 

 bearing at the top six to ten broad 

 pods. If these are picked as they 

 mature and the season and soil are 



■ favorable, the plant will throw out 

 branches bearing pods which will 

 mature in succession, thus prolong- 

 ing the season. The peas are very 

 large and wrinkled, cook very quick- 

 ly, are tender, of superior flavor and 

 preferred by many to any other 

 sort. Pkt. 10c: Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

TL A J • 'B Vines vigorous, 

 1 he Admiral about four feet 

 high. Pods usually borne in pairs, 

 curved, bright green, crowded with 

 six to nine peas of the very best 

 quality and color. We know of no 

 pea which rem.ains palatable longer 

 after it becomes large enough to 

 use. Seed much wrinkled, of me- 

 dium size, cream color. Owing to its 

 great vigor, productiveness, fine 

 color, quality and suitable size of 

 the green peas, it is admirably 

 adapted for canners' use. Pkt.lOc;

Duke of Albany wrinSed iS 



similar to Telephone in gro-\rth and 

 season but darker in color of foliage 

 and pods. Vine four and one-half to 

 five feet high, vigorous and strong 

 growing; pods very large, straight 

 and thick, borne in great profusion 

 and when in condition for picking, 

 of a deep green color. There is an 

 mcreasing demand for peas of this 

 color and the productiveness of this 

 variety makes it a very profitable 



Duke of Albany 



sort for market gardeners while its splendid quality should "t^ i r f Stronger growing and hardier 



give it a place in every home garden. In many localities 1 elegrapil, Or LiOng 



this variety is sold as an improved strain of Telephone, 

 especially by market gardeners who find its darker color 

 a distinct advantage in that the pods retain a marketable 

 appearance longer after picking than do those of lighter 

 colored sorts. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50;

 •T« I 1 The Telephone has become the leading pea 



1 eiepnone with market gardeners whose trade ap- 

 preciates fine appearance and high quality. Alnes 

 vigorous, growing about four feet high, with large, coarse, 

 light colored leaves and producing an abundance of very 

 large pods filled with immense pea.s which are tender, 

 sweet and of excellent flavor. It comes into use soon after 

 the Pi'emium Gem and is one of the best sorts for either 

 home or market. Notwithstanding the large amount of 

 inferior and spurious stock which has been sold, no pea 

 has attained greater popularity than this, thus sho\ving 

 that it has sterling merit. The stock we offer has been 

 carefully selected and is very prolific. Pkt. 10c; Pt. S5c;

vine with darker foliage and 

 TclanrI MatnTTiftfli P^^^ ^^^^^ the Telephone; peas 



isiana mammoin ^^^y j^^.^^ ^^^ of dark green 



color; seed almost smooth. A splendid sort for the market 

 garden; will give good returns even under conditions that 

 would cause most varieties to fail. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 30c;

 » ij This comparatively new pea is in many 



Aluernian respects the very best early main crop 

 variety of the valuable Telephone type. The vines grow 

 nearly five feet high, are dark green, vigorous and ex- 

 ceedingly productive. Pods very large, long, dark green, 

 similar to 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 furthermore is the most produc- 

 tive variety of this class. We recommend it unreserved- 

 ly. (See cut in Supplement, page 7) Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c;
