 earlies; it is of healthj% compact growth, about 2 J feet high, 

 bearing in great abundance medium-sized pods, but coinpactly 

 fiUed with dark green-colored, large wrinkled peas, so tender, sweet

Juno Pea. 



A dwarf main crop -wrinKled marro-w Pea. 

 Enormo-usly prolific. Superb flavor. 



Juno Pea we esteem highlj\ It is a main crop variety, 

 of vigorous constitution, which shows itself in the strong, hand- 

 some, branching plant. It is 2 feet in height, requiring little or 

 no brushing. It produces an abundance of the finest peas possible, 

 the vines being actually laden with pods. These are dark 

 green, stout and heavy, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the finest 

 quality, which so thoroughly fill the pod as to make it almost 

 cylindrical in shape. The peas, too, possess the admirable merit 

 of preserving their tenderness and superb flavor long after thej^ 

 are young, and also retain their attractive dark green color when 

 served at table. {See cut.) Price, 10c. J pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



"We are just eating the last of your Juno Peas, and they deserve all the praise 

 you give them, and more; their dark-leaved, thick vines, loaded with peas, remained per- 

 fectly fresh, perfecting every pod, during our intense heat, while other sorts fairly 

 shriveled up. The pods are thick and meaty, seemingly impervious to the hot sun, 

 keeping the peas in condition for the table for a long time. The peas are so plump and 

 large, the pods so well filled, the flavor so delicious, and the bearing season so long, a 

 combination of excellences rendering Juno the ideal Pea for the home garden." — Mrs. 

 R. H. EMERSON, 323 Main Street. Jackson, Mich. 



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 gracefully 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 

 quaUty, which, when cooked, are rich, sugary, and of marrow- 

 hke flavor. Price, 10c. J pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 

 bush. 



" The Chelsea Pea — put out by Peter Henderson & Co. — while not the earliest, 

 proved to be the best table pea we have had this season. The pods are long and simply 

 jammed full of rich peas, and for the family garden it would be difficult to find a 

 better."— THE AGRICULTURAL EPITOMIST. 



TELEPHONE PEA. 



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

 taining a height of about 4J feet. It is exceedingly 

 prolific, averaging 18 pods to the stalk, while up to 

 24 to the stalk is not uncommon. 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 Telephone Pea is without a peer. (5iv cut.)

"Your Telephone Peas gave me great satisfaction; people have 

 come for miles, having heard of their great production. Several who 

 have been gardening all their lives say they never saw peas to equal 

 them. We have repeatedly counted 22 to 24 pods to a stalk, and 

 they average 8 to 12 peas per pod, the peas being as large as hazel 

 nuts before they lose their grand llavor." 



H. W. BILLARD, Gravesend, L. I., N. Y.
