*HORSFORD'S MARKET 

 GARDEN. A grand wrinkled 

 variety, coming in between Little 

 Gem and Advancer. The vines 

 are two feet high, very regular in 

 growth. It is a prolific bearer, 

 and has yielded more per acre 

 than any other American variety. 

 The pods, although of medium 

 size, are numerous, and are liter- 

 ally packed with peas of a de- 

 licious sweet flavor. 20 cts. pt., 

 30 cts. qt., $1.75 peck, S6.00 bush. 



ABUNDANCE. A second early 

 vai'iety, attaining a height of 2 

 feet. Pods 3 to 3\£ inches long, 

 roundish and well filled, con- 

 taining 6 to 8 large wrinkled 

 peas of excellent quality. This 

 variety is remarkable for branch- 

 ing directly from the roots, form- 

 ing a veritable bush, making it 

 necessary to sow the seeds much 

 thinner than usual. Six to eight 

 inches apart in the rows is as 

 near as the plants should stand.

 early varieties and the general or main crop. Price, 35 cts. per 

 pt., 60 cts. per qt., $3.50 per peck. 



EDIBLE PODOEO OR SUGAR PEAS. 



CopyrlghWd 1890 by Peter Heniier on 4 Co 



NEW VERY DWARF SUGAR PEA. (Edible pods.) The ad- 

 joining illustration shows one of the most distinct little novel- 

 ties that has come under our notice for a long time. As will 

 be seen, it is unusually dwarf, being very similar in habit to the 

 well-known American Wonder Pea. The pods are beautifully 

 crimped, are of unusual size for such a small growing sort, 

 and are of exquisite, melting qualitj'. Of recent years the 

 demand has increased very much for Sugar Peas in this coun- 

 try, and we feel sure that this little variety will be welcome, 

 as it has a great advantage from the fact that it does not require 

 brushing or staking as other Sugar Peas do. {See cut.) 15 cts. 

 per pkt., 40 cts. per y.i pt., 75 cts. per pt., $1.25 per qt. 



TALL SUGAR. (Edible pods.) Can be used either shelled or 

 cooked in the pods, which, when young, are veiy tender and 

 sweet. Height, 5 ft. 25 cts. pt., 40 cts. qt., $2.50 pk., $8.00 bu. 



DWARF SUGAR. (Edible pods.) Similar to the last. Height, 

 3 ft. 25 cts. pt., 40 cts. qt., $2.50 peck, $8.00 bush. 



MELTING SUGAR. (Edible pods.) This variety is ahead of all 

 others, not onlj- in size of pod and prolific bearing, but also for 

 its delicious quality. It grows to the height of five to si.K feet, 

 bears a profusion of large, broad pods, which are generally 

 found in pairs, and which are so brittle that they snap without 

 any string. It should be used in much the same way as a 

 Wax Bean. The pods when cooked are very sweet and tender. 

 40 cts. pt., 75 cts. qt, $4.00 peck.
