Messrs. Parker & Wood. 



Gentlemen : — I had not sent in my name as competitor for prize in ' e Maud S." Pea. Had I 

 done so I would have been at the top notch in the jubilee year. Picked my first well-matured 

 peas on June 14th; second picking, 17th; third, 20th; only for rain on eve 23d would have made 

 fourth picking. Respectfully, 



Thomas Chalmers. 

 Boston, June 22d, 1887, 

 Paid to T. Kelly of Arlington, Mass., $5.00 cash premium for first best peck of peas brought 

 to store— picked on June 18th. First picking made on June 16th, but forgot to bring them in 

 for competition. Quality' and Character of the pea considered of the best by Mr. Kelly. 



The "Maud S.'' has for several seasons past ripened in all sections of New England from 

 14th to 20th of June. Being a large pea, and having large, full pods, it has become very popular. 

 Has stood the test for several seasons. Pronounced by all who have grown it to be one of the 

 best peas ever produced.

Gentlemen : — I have tested your "Maud S." early peas for the past two seasons, and have 

 had- them in perfection to gather by June 15th, and the yield has been 125 bushels of pods from 

 •one bushel of seed, the last gathered being equal to- the first picking ; therefore I cart only say that 

 3. have been more. than satisfied with the result on my farm. ».■ '''
