 _ 1 o. t ^lost stocks of the large 



improved Otratagem podded, semi-dwarf, Eng- 

 lish varieties of peas have been so wanting in uniformity 

 and evenness of type as to disgust American planters, but 

 by constant effort we have developed a stock 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 

 of the finest quality. Pkt. 10c; Pt.

 -fc., r .1 nx 1 t Vines of medium height. 



Pride or the Market stiff, with large, dark 

 green leaves 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 variety special 

 attention and the stock we offer is so much superior to 

 that commonly sold as to seem 

 a different sort. We recom- 

 mend it as one of the very best 

 of the large podded varieties.

1^ r /^i_ • This is a comparatively new 



LlWarr CnampiOn green wrinkled pea and where- 

 ever known is proving a popular main crop sort for the 

 market or home garden. The vine is only about three 

 feet high, vigorous, hardy, and unusually productive. 

 Pods fully four inches long, broad, quite straight, deep 

 green in color, handsome and very well filled with large 

 peas which are tender and unsurpassed in quality. The 

 stock we offer is vastly superior in productiveness, size of 

 pod and quality to much that is sold under this name.

Horsford's Market Garden medium^heigM, 



giving the greatest number of pods of any on our list. 

 Pods contain five to seven medium sized, sweet, dark 

 green peas which retain well their color and sweetness 

 after canning . ( Very short crop ; sold out) 



TiJi 1m.' C There is a class of peas little known 



Melting OUgar in this country but much used 

 abroad in which the sweet, brittle and succulent pods have 

 none of the tough, inner lining found in the ordinary va- 

 rieties 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 of which we offer a very fine 

 strain. The pods are very large, extremely tender, finely 

 flavored and are borne in great abundance on vines four to 



five feet high. Pkt. 10c;

 four to five feet; seed 

 light green and much

 is as well gi-own and se- '

 we consider the variety 

 equal in quality to any in

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 earlier. For cows, the crop should be cut and fed green. For 

 hogs alone it can be used as pasturage. 



Field Peas can be sown either alone or with oats as early as the condition of the soil will 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.

 If Peas are wanted by mail or express prepaid add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges.
