BODDINGTON S '^AJ-CUMA/ SI:,EDS 65 



Boddington''s English -Grown Peas 



One quart will plant about 25 feet of ririll. Sow in double rows 6 to eight inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring 

 brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March : and continue, for a suc- 

 cession, every two weeks until June. Those marked with a star (*') are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown 

 thicker than the round Peas, and not till the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot. 



For the past years we have handled, almos exclusively, English-grown Peas. The reports from our customers during the past season 

 have been so encouraging that this year we have decided to increase the number of varieties of stock so grown. English-grown Peas can 

 always be relied upon as absolutely true, free from "rogues," hand-picked, all imperfect seeds being rejected, thus ensuring greater strength 

 and vigor of the vines, and a clean, handsome and more profitable crop.

EarlinesB. — One of the earliest Peas in existence, being ready 

 to gather green one or two days before Gradus or Thomas Lax- 

 ton. 



Flavor. — It is a true marrowfat, having the richness and quality 

 of the best main-crop varieties. 



Size of Pod. — The pods are very large ; if anything, larger than 

 Gradus, and quite double t!ie size of any peas of the American 

 Wonder or English Wonder type. Tlie size of the individual 

 peas is very large, and the pods when shelled give an exceptional 

 quantity of peas. 



Height of Haulm. — The height averages i8 inches, a good 

 height either for private or market purpose. 



Cropping Qualities. — From top to bottom the haulm is covered 

 with large, even-sized pods, on an average eight and nine pods on 

 a vine; the peas averaging nine to ten peas in a pod. 



Constitution. — A wonderfully hardy and vigorousgrower; far ex- 

 celling in this respect most of all tall early marrow types of peas. 



Color. — Both pods and haulm are a rich velvety green, denot- 

 ing great vigor and constitution ; the color of the seed when ripe 

 is green wrinkled. 



In all respects the greatest advance yet made in Dwarf Early Peas, and likely to remain so for some years to come, for it ha 

 all the essential qualities of a high-class Pea. (See illustration above. ) Pt. 50 cts., qt. $1, J-jpk. $3.50, pk. |5.5o.
