PEAS 



Boddington's Early of Earlies 



Pea is thorouglily lixcd 

 and free from sjiorting 

 teiideni'ics, 2 feet hii;li, of healthy, vigorou.s growth; white- and 

 rojnd-seeded and very hardy The pods are 3'A to 4 inches long, 

 or half as long again as those of Extra Early, ready for picking qnlle 

 as early as the latter, appear in great qu;iiitities and mostly in pairs, 

 and are of the same sliape. 



The following is a ciindcnsed recapitulation of the principal 

 features of Bodilin'jtnn's K.irly of l^arlies Pea: 



1. Quite as early, but much larger-podded than Extra Early or 

 First and Best. 



2. Furnished as big crops as the best round-seeded main-crop sort. 



3. Splendid quality for all purposes. 



4. Convenient height, healthy vigorous growth and great hardiness. 



Sncli (|ualities caiiTiot fail to secure for this new Pea a welcome 

 reception, rapid introduction and general poi)ularity Pkt. 2octs., 

 pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts., ^^pk. $2.75, pk. $5.25. 



A first -early Pea which has won great 

 popularity for its many line qualities. The 

 plant is unusually robust in habit, and carries a heavy crop of long, 

 pointed pods of a dark green color, which are well filled with rich- 

 flavored peas. So numerous are the i)ods that the plants present a 

 most striking appearance while growing. We regard this as one of 



Pioneer, Sutton's. 



the best varieties in the dwarf section of the early class. Height 

 about 2 feet. Pkt. 25 cts., pt. 60 cts., qt. $1. 



The Lincoln. Tlii^^ grand second early variety of Pea originated 



' in England, and is worthy of the notice of all 



who appreciate good finality. It is a dwarf variety, about I'A feet, 

 producing the long, curved, deep green pods ni pairs, literally cov- 

 ering the plant. This variety is quite distinct from the .Stratagem 

 type of Peas, and much more desirable than v.irii ties of that class. 

 Pkt. 20 cts., pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts., 'Apk. $2.75, pk. $5.25. 



The Leader. This variety is of extrenely robust growth, and 



— protluces an abundance of very large pods, filled 



with deliciously sweet Peas. It is fully as early as Gradus. Pods 

 are usually larger, with more ot them per plant, and has a decided 

 advantage in being more hardy; being a round-seeded variety, it 

 may be sown earlier. Height, 3 feet. Pkt. 20 cts., pt. 40 cts , qt. 

 75 cts., "^pk. $2. 75, pk. $5.25. 



World's Record, Sutton's. ^''^ numerous favorable re- 



ports received from customers 



prove conclusively that World's Record is all that is claimed. It is 

 no exaggeration to say that, in size of pods. World's Record stands 

 absolutely alone among the early varieties. Habit very prolific ; 

 pods dark green ; peas of superb flavor. Height about 3 feet. Pkt. 

 25 cts., pt. 60 cts., qt. $1.

SUTTON'S UNIVERSAL.

 SUTTON'S PERFECTION, 

 and sets fruit freely. Pkt. 60 cts. 



This is the well-known Cape Gooseberry, and should be grown fi great deal more than 

 it has been in the United States. It is an excellent variety for preserving, and, in fact, 

 is a real Wonder Berry. This variety should not be confounded with Pliysatis pubrscens, 

 known as Husk Tomato. Pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts., 'Aoz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts. 



CABBAGE 



BODDINGTON'S EARLIEST DWARF BLOOD RED. Quite a distinct dwarf,

 the spring, it comes in with the early autumn cabbages. Differs entirely from the ordinary 

 Bloo<i Red. Pkt. 25 cts.

ONION 



THE GIANT. The latest ami most im|)orlant ncjvelty in exhibition Onions. This is not an 

 improved strain of Ailsa Craig or Excelsior, but, grown under the same conditions, produces 

 bulbs one-third larger than the best selections of these two varieties. Pale yellow in color. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., ;^oz. 60 cts., oz. Si. 



BODDINGTON'S SILVER BELL. This is a remarkably quick-growing Onion, speci- 

 ally adapted for early work or forcing, and can be "pulled" six weeks after sowing, or can 

 be used for pickling, making solid' bulbs of excellent quality. We can highly recommend this variety, for 

 salading or other purposes. Pkt. to cts., Koz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts. 



SWEET CORN 



LIVINGSTON'S EARLY SUGAR. For productiveness .nid uniformity of product, Livingston's Early 

 Sugar is hard to beat. Where two stalks stood to a hill, sixty in r cent of the stalks produced two handsome, 

 large ears. On hills with three or more plants, we counted from five to seven ears of faultless sh.ape, well- 

 filled to tip. Ears are set well U]) the stalk, from 20 to 30 inches above base of plant. Pkt., containing about 

 75 seeds, 15 cts., 3 for 40 cts. 



TOMATO 



TUCKSWOOD FAVORITE. A grand Tomato for outdoors and tremendously productive; fruit is 

 l.Mrncin iimnense "bunches," round, smooth, solid, and of- good form and flavor Those to whom we sent 

 samples of seed to be grown all report very highly, and are generous in praise of it. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for jfi. 

 BODDINGTON'S EARLY SUNRISE. The chief points in Sunris--, are: Its earliness (it was exhibited in full fruit on July 4), its 

 cropping properties, its healthy constitution (no trace of disease), its solid but delicate flesh d oiitains few seeds), its evenness in size as a 

 dessert fruit, its bright scarlet color and rich acid flavor, its ecjual value for indoor or outdoor cultivation. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., y»oz.
