EXTRA EARLY ALASKA.— The earliest blue 

 pea. The dark green color of the pods makes it 

 extremely desirable, as it can be carried long 

 distances without losing color, which quality, 

 combined with its earliness and uniformity of 

 ripening, makes it a most desirable pea for 

 market gardeners. Height two feet. Pint, 25c.

LITTLE MARVEL.— As regards Little Marvel 

 peas, this variety we can recommend as being 

 one of the very best short-vine peas introdticed. 

 The vines are about a foot high, very stocky 

 and the pods are large and well filled with large 

 peas of excellent quality. We consider this va- 

 riety far superior to American Wonder or Xott's 

 Excelsior and when they are better known they 

 will be in great demand. Pint. 25c. Quart. 40c.

 ous, handsome, long-podded, delicious flavored 

 Alaska pea. Bound to become extremely popular.

 Early Alaska Pea. and, in addition, it has a well- 

 filled pod almost twice as long, which will fill the 

 basket in one-half the time, and while it is not a 

 distinctly sugar pea, yet it has a much sweeter 

 flavor than the Alaska. It is an abundant yielder. 

 Pint. 25c. Quart, oOc. Peck, $3.50. Bushel,' $12.00.
