Eugenie. A white wrinkled variety of 

 fine flavor; it is of the same season as the 

 Advancer. Cannot be too highly recom- 

 mended for family use. 



Carter's Stratagem. This is a wrinkled va- 

 riety from England. It is very distinct in vine 

 and foliage; growing thick and large, does not 

 need any support. It is the largest podded 

 variety ever brought out; pods -i to 5\ 

 inches long, which cannot be surpassed in 

 flavor, and is very productive. 



six to nine peas. Short stocky vine with 

 luxuriant foliage, pods light green; quality 

 unsurpassed, the largest producer known. 



Dwarf Blue Imperial. A very good bearer 

 if planted early, pods are large and well filled. 



Royal Dwarf Marrow. Similar to the 

 large Marrowfat, but of dwarf habit. 



Black-Eyed Marrowfat. This kind is 

 planted more for the market than any other. 

 It is very productive, and when young, quite 

 tender. Grows about four feet high. 



Early Alaska Peas. 



Carter's Telephone. Another wrinkled 

 English late variety ; grows about from 4^ to 

 5 feet high. The pods are very long, con- 

 taining from 8 to 12 fine flavored peas. It is 

 productive; will bear twice as much as the 

 Champion of England, which is about of the 

 same season. 



Paragon. It is a white wrinkled pea, 

 second early, long straight pods, containing 



Large White Marrowfat. Similar to the 

 last variety, except that it grows about two 

 feet taller and is less productive. 



Dwarf Sugar. A variety of which the 

 whole pod can be used after the string is 

 drawn off from the back of the pod. 



Tall Sugar. Has the same qualities as 

 the foregoing kind, only grows taller, and the 

 pods are somewhat larger. 



THE PEA BUG. 



All peas grown in this country have small holes in them, caused by the sting of the Pea 

 Bug, while the pod is forming, when it deposits its egg in it. Later the insect perfects itself 

 and comes out of the dry pea, leaving the hole. The germ of the pea is never destroyed, 

 and they grow equally as well as those without holes. Market gardeners in this neighborhood 

 who have been planting the Extra Early Peas for years, will not take them without holes, 

 and consider these a trade mark.
