A green wrinkled variety. about two and a half 
feet high. with broad, long pods, which are abun- 
dantly produced and well filled to the ends. Con= 
sidered by some the best of the second early 
sorts. This pea is used very extensively by 
the market gardeners in the vicinity of New 
York, on account of its great produetiveness, 
the fine appearance of its pods, and quality 
of the peas. It is very largely used among 
canners. as the skin will stand cooking 
without breaking. Careful comparison 
shows that our stockis unequaled. Pkt. 10c.; 
Pt. licts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts.; Bu. $3.25. 
BLISS’ EVERBEARING._4 variety ma- 
turing soon after the Gems, and continuing 
a long time in bearing. Vine stout, about 
eighteen inches high, bearing at the top six 
to ten broad pods. If these are removed as 
they mature, and the season and soil are 
favorable, the plant will throw out from the 
axil of each leaf, branches bearing pods 
which will mature in succession, thus pro- 
longing the season. The large wrinkled peas cook 
very quickly, are tender, of superior flavor, and pre- 
ferred by many ‘to any other sort. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 
1icts.; Qt. 20cts.; 4 Qts. 60cts.; Bushel $3.25.

PRIDE OF THE MARKET.—vines of medium height, stiff, 
with large, dark green leaves and bearing at the top, gener- 
ally in pairs, a fair crop of very 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

varieties. Pkt. 10cts.; Pt. 2cts.; Qt. 30cts.; 4 Qts. $1.00;

quality to any in cultivation, and one of the best of its season, 
either for the amateur or market gardener. Pkt. 10cts.;
