 troduced ; very large size and of bright scarlet color, very

JSTOTT'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 vari- 

 ous sections of the United S'ates and Canada, and has proved to be so 

 hardy and vigorous that it may be planted in early spring with any 

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

 quality 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 50 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 in- 

 clude this fine early variety, as it is one of the best flavored in cultiva- 

 tion. Pkt., 10 cts. ; pint, 25 cts. ; quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, quart, 25 cts. ; \^ peck, 75 cts. ; peck, $1.25 ; bushel, $4.50.

FADST'S 6ENDINE 

 BLOOHSDALE SPINACH 



This variety we have raised at Bristol, 

 Pa., for many years, and not only sup- 

 ply our own extensive market garden- 

 ers' trade, but furnish other seed firms 

 with the seed, as they can rely implicitly 

 on our strain. It is largely used and is 

 highly popular among the market gard- 

 eners of Philadelphia, and is unsur- 

 passed by any spinach grown elsewhere. 

 The leaves are large, thick, heavy and 

 finely curled, and will stand shipping 

 and handling better than any other 

 variety. Its quality is unequalled and 

 its productiveness is something won- 

 derful. Every pound of seed which we 

 offer for s.ile of this variety has been 

 grown at Bri.stol for ue, and has received 

 the most careful attention to have it 

 pure and entirely free from any prickly 

 sort. Per pkt., 6 cts. ; oz., 10 rta : 14 lb., 

 15 eta.; lb, 40 cts., postpaid. By ex- 

 press or freight, lb., 80 cts.; "peck,
