Lar^e Podded 



For several years we have watched the growth of a Pea in 

 our trials which bids fair to outrival the famous Gradus, or 

 Prosperity. We can now say we believe this to be the finest 

 and most prolific large podded Pea ever introduced. It 

 overcomes the one great fault in the Gradus of being a poor 

 bearer. As is shown by the photograph, the pods contain 8 to 

 10 perfectly formed peas, and are of such large size that they 

 sell on sight at market. Gardeners can make no mistake in 

 giving this grand new Pea a trial. Price, ^ pt. 20c^., pt.

The I/argest of All Sugar Peas (se© illustration.) 



This grand new variety will be of especial interest to all lovers of edible-podded Peas. Excels all 

 others in size, productiveness and quality. Even to those who know how delicious and wholesome are 

 Sugar Peas, cooked pods and all, a dish of these giant pods, sweet, siigai-y and melting, will be a de- 

 lightful surprise. Vines averaging about 36 inches in height, remain a long time in bearing, and wtett 

 grown with brush or trellis, are strong and rank. The pods are gigantic in size, broad, sweet and ten- 

 der, extremely fleshy and equal to the best snap beans for cooking pods and all. ' The dry peas, when 

 ripe, are extra large and wrinkled. It is a decided improvement over the Melting Sugar Pea, being 

 equally as early, much more productive and superior in quality. Pkt. % pt. 15c., pt. 30c., qt. 55c.,

THE HOLMJES' PEA 



Truly a Wonder In Productiveness 



The Seaviest Bearer 0/ 

 Any the Dwarf Sorts 



During our recent inspection the past summer of 

 our Pea crops, we were shown a small patch con- 

 taining about one-half an acre. Mr. Eeeney, the 

 noted Pea specialist, who was with us, remarked 

 "how do you like this fellow ? " On close examina- 

 tion we immediately saw truly a wonder, reaching 

 down picked a few pods and on counting the peas 

 found respectively 9, 10 and 11 fine large peas in 

 each pod ; thinking perhaps this was a chance pick, 

 we started on a search for a small pod. After some 

 time foimd one, but to our astonishment this one 

 had 8 large peas in it. After several more attempts 

 we gave it up as we could not find anything with a 

 less_ number. After considerable investigating to 

 see if this pea had been offered or sold to any one 

 else, Mr. Keeney reported that it was clear of all 

 other seedsmen's claims. We purchased the entire 

 crop and offer it for the first time to the public and 

 can trxithfully say we believe it to be the finest pea 

 in its class.
