IMPROVED STRATAGEM PEAS. 
5 Vine of medium height and very productive. Pods large, curved, light 
H eroine green and well filled with very large, light green peas of exceptionally 
fine quality, having to an unusual degree the rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor which is so 
prized by the connoisseur. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75e; Bushel $4.00 
- There is a class of peas little known in this country, but 
M elt 5 ns S usa r much used abroad, in which the large, sweet, brittle and 
succulent pods have none of the tough inner lining found in the ordinary varieties of garden 
peas; they are used in the same way as snap or string beans. The best of these edible pod- 
ded sorts is the Melting Sugar, of which we offer a very fine strain. The pods are very large, 
straight, extremely tender, fine flavored and are borne in great abundance on vines three 
to four feet high. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c: Bushel $4.00 
LARGE WHITE MARROWFAT Cultivated very extensively for the summer crop. Vines 
about five feet high and of strong growth. Pods large, cylindrical, rough, light colored and 
well filled; seeds large, smooth, round and yellow or white, according to the soil in which 
they are grown. It is-excellent for summer use, but inferior in quality to most of the 
newer sorts, although undoubtedly one of the most productive of the garden varieties.

LARGE BLACK EYE MARROWFAT An excellent variety, growing about five feet high;
