Champion of England Pea 



We herewith offer a select strain of this grand old favorite Pea, 

 too well-known to require extended description. It is a main- 

 crop and late variety of vigorous growth, about 5 feet high, 

 producing abundantly large pods of immense wrinkled Peas 

 that are noted for their tenderness and rich marrow-like flavor. 

 To equal in quality the Champion of England is the distinction 

 attained by very few Peas. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 

 51.40 for four qts., $2.50 pk. 



"Our Champion of England Peas from your seed grew 7 feet, 4 inches high 

 and gave us delicious peas until frost. " GEO. E. HOBBS, Stonybrook, Mass. 



TELEPHONE PEA 



A strong, luxuriant-growing, main-crop variety, attaining 

 a height of about 4J feet. It is exceedingly prohfic, averaging 

 18 pods to the stalk, while up to 24 to the stalk is not uncom- 

 mon. The pods, the largest of all varieties, are packed with 

 immense wrinkled marrow Peas, 6 to 8 being the average, while 

 10 to 12 to a pod are frequently found. The quality is superb, 

 rich, sugary and meltingly tender. For family use the Tele- 

 phone Pea is without a peer. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.50 for four qts., $2.75 pk. 



" Your Telephone is the finest pea we ever planted. They grew over 6 feet high 

 and had 20 to 26 pods to a stalk and averaged 8 to 12 peas per pod. The finest peas 

 ■without exception, that we ever ate." H. W. BILLARD, Gravesend, N. Y. 



CHELSEA PEA 



It grows about 15 inches in height and is of compact, 

 short-jointed habit, thus requiring no brushing or staking. 

 The pods are remarkably handsome, being gracefiilly curved 

 and much longer than any other early dwarf kind. They are 

 well filled, each containing 8 to 10 good sized wrinkled Peas 

 of exquisite quality, which, when cooked, are rich, sugary, and 

 of marrow-like flavor. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 4Sc. qt., $1.60 

 for four qts., $3.00 pk. 



"The Chelsea Peas 

 proved to be one of the 

 best table peas we have 

 ever had. The pods are 

 long and simply 

 jammed full of rich 

 peas. For the family

EARLY PEA 



MELTING MARROW 



Henderson's Melting Marrow Pea is early, but not the earliest 

 Pea grown; it follows immediately after the extra early sorts, thus 

 filling in the gap between these and the midsummer varieties, 

 though by successive sowings Melting Marrow Peas may be 

 long enjoyed. 



The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 

 inches high, with sturdy branching stalks that are practically 

 self-supporting, so that trellis or brush is not essential, though 

 low brush or crossed sticks, if convenient, will not be misapplied. 

 The massive pods are produced in prodigal abundance from 

 ground to summit, and are packed with from six to eight im- 

 mense wrinkled narrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is 

 maintained when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive 

 when served, while the delicious melting quality and superb 

 rich buttery flavor is unequalled by any Pea of American origin. 

 (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for four qts., 

 $3.00 pk. 



"Your Melting Marrow is certainly the finest pea in existence. I do not 

 believe there is a pea to compare with it for size and flavor. I made the first plant- 

 ing on May 15th and on June 29th {just 46 days) I picked the first mess and they 

 were the sweetest, tenderest and most delicious peas we ever tasted. They are not 

 only all you claim for them, but more." 



LLOYD H. SANDS, Tolona, III.
