KOTT'S EXCELSIOR PEA. 



This new early dwarf wrinkled pea grows at the uniform 

 height of one foot, and is remarkably hardy and productive, 

 besides being earlier than any of the wrinkled peas. It has 

 been impartially tested in various sections of the United States 

 and Canada, and has proved to be so hardy and vigorous that 

 it may be safely planted in early spring with any smooth, 

 variety, and counted on for table use almost as soon, while the 

 qualitj^ is far superior. During the years that the originator 

 has been developing these peas, they have never failed to be 

 well matured for table use within 60 days from planting, with 

 ordinary garden culture. The large pods are well filled with 

 from 7 to 9 fine peas, which are very tender and of unusually 

 sweet flavor. Every private garden should include this fine 

 early variety, as it is one of the best flavored in cultivation.

Dtoarf Champion Tomato. 



This fine new tomato is entirely distinct, and its habit of 

 growth is most peculiar, for not only is it dwarf and compact, 

 but the stems being thick, stifl!", and short-jointed, it is actually 

 self-supporting when laden with fruit; no other variety pos- 

 sesses this valuable characteristic. The foliage is very dark 

 green, thick and corrugated, and differing in form from that of 

 any other sort. Unsurpassed in produQtiveness, and its close,, 

 upright growth enables it to be planted nearer together than 

 any other sort, therefore yielding more to the acre. The fruit 

 in form and color, closely resembles the well-known Acme, and 

 is always smooth and symmetrical in form. Of medium size, 

 size, very attractive in appearance; the skin is tough and the 

 flesh solid and of the finest quality. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., ^ lb. 

 70 cts., lb. $2.25.
