PIONEER ^ 
Once used, always used. Height' 16 
to 20 inches, habit dwarf, stocky and 
vigorous; color dark green. The most 
robust grower we know ot; an import- 
ed variety which tested out in our 
trials better than any other sort of 
its class. This Pea comes in about 
the same time as the Thomas Laxton, 
not so large but twice as prolific, just 
the Pea for the market or private gar- 
dener. Give it a trial. Packat, 6c; 
Vt. ponnd, 19c; pound, 35c; 2 ponnda,

BLISS ABUNDANCE 
Grows about 30 Inches high. Vines 
very strong and vigorous, branching 
to such an extent that they may bet- 
ter be called bushes than vines. These 
are literally loaded with long pods 
well filled with from six to ten large 
sweet peas. The whole crop maturing 
so nearly at one time, its great pro- 
ductiveness, and its large, dark-green 
pods, make Bliss' Abundance a very 
popular variety both with the canner 
and the market gardener. Our stock 
of this popular variety is unusually 
fine. Packet, 6c; V4 pound, 19c; pound, 
35c; 2 pounds, 67c, postpaid. 
(TRUE AMERICAN WONDER 
TRUE AMERICAN WONDER 
This is a first-rate wrinkled pea of dwarf 
habit, with vines less tlian a foot high. It 
is better suited to the private garden than 
for market purposes; in fact, it has taken 
the place in the private garden once oc- 
cupied by Tom Thumb, and has practically 
eliminated that once famous sort. Amer- 
ican Wonder is one of the earliest of the 
wrinkled varieties. It is quite distinct from 
all other peas in habit of growth and ap- 
pearance, the vines being unusually robust 
and stocky. In favorable weather and soil 
it will mature in the remarkably short 
IJeriod of 42 days. See cut. Packet, 7c; 
Vi pound, 20c i pound, 38c; 2 pounds, 73c, 
postpaid.

An early, wrinkled pea, one of the largest 
podded of the dwarf varieties. It is also 
one of the most vigorous in growth of vine

the foliage distinctly lighter green.

ALDERMAN 
This comparatively new Pea Is In many 
respects the best early main crop of the 
valuable Telephone type. The vine grows 
nearly five feet high, is dark green, similar 
to Duke of Albany, and about the same In 
season. The peas are of largest size and 
unsurpassed in quality. Market garden- 
ers are demanding the large-podded, dark 
colored sorts which retain their fine appear- 
ance even after shipping a long distance. 
The Alderman answers these requirements 
and furthermore la the most productiva 
variety of this class. See cut. Packet,
