The Largest Podded, the Heaviest Cropper, the Greatest and Unrivaled Pea 



There are few varieties of seed in this seed book that are better named than 

 this pea. Nothing more nearly expresses its one remarkable characteristic 

 than its name Prodigious, when you consider that this variety will produce 

 pods attaining the extraordinary length of 7 inches and upwards, closely packed 

 with 11 to 13 large, dark green peas of fine flavor. The plant is of branching 

 habit, growing about 5 feet in height, with dark green foliage. It is of very 

 vigorous and robust constitution, which enables it to withstand drought and 

 mildew. The pods are produced in great profusion, mostly in pairs. Pro- 

 digious cannot be excelled as an exhibition sort, on account of its striking and 

 very attractive appearance; and will also be in demand wherever there is a call 

 for a pea of robust habit, fine quality and hardy constitution. Market garden- 

 ers who do not know Prodigious should give it a trial. There are thousands of 

 our customers who will be delighted to show their friends such enormous pods 

 of peas, the largest, by far, they have ever seen, which in addition to large size%^ 

 combine rich and succulent flavor. There is an enormous demand for it *" 

 from market and home gardeners all over the country.

 growing 18 inches to 2 feet high. It has a robust, branching habit, and 

 requires no sticks. Wonderfully productive. The pods are large in size and

495 Perpetual 



495 PERPETUAL PEA. 



Ready for picking right after the Extra Earlies and 

 continuing to bear much longer than most varieties 



It is more accurately named than any other pea 

 in the list, and for the private garden is an excel- 

 lent variety, as it will continue producing its pods 

 for a long time, making it a desirable main crop 

 variety. 



We consider it the best or nearest to a perpetual 

 pea of anything we have ever seen yet. 



It grows about 2% to 3 feet high, of strong, robust 

 habit, a good cropper, and, to secure best results, 

 requires sticks or brush. After removing the pods 

 as fast as they are filled it will continue to bear right 

 along throughout the season. This one feature 

 makes it especially desirable for home or family 

 garden and we know of no large podded pea that 

 will produce so many pods and none that are so 

 well filled as the Perpetual. It is certainly the most 

 remarkable everbearing pea that has ever come to 

 our knowledge.
