SECOND DIVISION 



FOR SECOND-EARLY CROPS 



Quite Content (Carter^s) 



NOVELTY 



A tall-growing exhibition variety. The 

 haulm is medium dark, about 5 feet, with 

 large, straight, medium-dark pods mostly 

 in pairs from 5 to 6 inches in length con- 

 taining nine to ten peas in a pod, good 

 flavor ; an excellent variety for second- 

 early use. " This grand Pea, which has 

 caused such a stir in the horticultural 

 world during the past season, is the out- 

 come of a cross between Alderman and 

 Edwin Beckett. In general character it 

 resembles the former, Imt the pods are 

 considerably larger than either parent. 

 In our own trials it has amply demon- 

 strated its wonderful superiority, and 

 when exhibited in the open class at 

 Shrewsbury, 1906, it EASILY SECUKED 

 THE FIEST PKIZE, and was pronounced 

 by leading experts to be without doubt 

 the finest Pea ever seen. It is exceedingly 

 prolific, and the pods hang mostly in, 

 pairs. Height, 5 to 6 feet." Pt. 50 cts. » 

 qt. $1, Kpk. $3.50.
