BIG MARVEL PEAS 



One of the Largest Podded, and Earliest of 

 all Wrinkled Extra Earlies 



THE PEA THAT ALL PROGRESSIVE MARKET GARDENERS 



ARE GOING WILD OVER 



The photograph of this grand Pea can be seen, on the front cover of catalogue. Big 

 Marvel Pea, is indeed a grand Pea. Every Gardener who has ever tried this Pea, the past 

 two seasons in small quantities, sings its praise. 



The vines of the Big Marvel are vigorous, growing about 18 to 24 inches high, and require 

 no sticks ; with unusually dark green foliage which can be distinguished from that of other 

 Peas one-hundred yards away. The long pods, are rich green in color, often measuring 

 five inches or more, with seven to nine enormous Peas in a pod. The growth of vine is 

 sturdy, and it bears with a profusion that is truly remarkable. It is a wonder in produc- 

 tiveness, and the way the Peas shell out, is astonishing. 



Big Marvel Pea, matures as early as the small podded. Extra Early sorts. Its sweetness 

 is noteworthy, and all who plant it will find the Big Marvel one of the most profitable 

 market peas, ever introduced, and there is nothing superior to it for, either the Market 

 Gardener, or for Home Garden. Pkt, 10c. ; pint, 25c. ; quart, 40c. ; peck., $3 ; bu., $12. 



"Bonny Be$ft" Early Tomato 



Enormously Prolific, Scarlet Red, Globe- 

 Shaped Fruits, Smooth and Ripening 

 Evenly Without Cracking 



This new variety is fully ten days earlier 

 than Chalk's Early Jewel, and within two or 

 or three days as early as Earliana. It is a 

 vigorous grower, enormously prolific, with 

 larger foliage than the Earliana, which will 

 protect the fruit from the hot sun, on days 

 when early varieties with less foliage would 

 scald. In shape it is roundish and slightly 

 flattened at the stem end but thicker 

 through than most other tomatoes in its 

 class. In color it is a beautiful scarlet red; 

 setting its fruit in clusters of five or more at 

 close intervals. When ripening each set 

 ripens nearly all at once, and ripens evenly 

 all over up to the 'stem. Makes a magnifi- 

 cent variety for slicing; its greatest charac- 

 teristic is its uniformity of size and smooth- 

 ness in shape. A good early red skin varie- 

 tv for all purposes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; Va 

 lb., $1.00.; lb., $3.00.
