PEA, "Admiral Beatty.''-l'»^^%^,f^o^ 
earl.v Pea, introduced last season, has proved to be one of the 
finest of Messrs. Laxton Bros, raising, and can be strongly re- 
commended. It is a cross between Gradus and .Alderman." and 
is intermediate between Its parents, both in habit and in sea- 
son, being ready about 10 days after Gradus, It Is a good 
cropper and the pods are v«ry long, slightly curved and pointed, 
with 9 or 10 peas in each. The peas are a beautiful, bright 
green colour and of finest flavour. Height, 3 H to 4 ft. We 
consider tWs a most useful type of Pea for private or market 
gardening purposes, having made a thorough test in our trials.

paid, pkt., 15 cts.; M lb., 35 cts.; 'Alb., 55 cts. lb., 95 cts.) 
ONION, "Mountain Danvers/'-An„ 
market Onion. A medium large apple-shaped, amber-yellow 
variety of more than usual merit. Mountain Danvers itself is 
not a new onion, but this strain is — and It is really entitled to 
a now name. Among a list of some 2,50 lots of onion samples 
grown for inspection the most conspicuous, the hest keeper 
the most uniform was Mountain Danvers, The color is pecul- 
iarly attractive, being a clear amber — or a yellow with a tint of 
brown. The shape is one of the most desirable, being almost 
a perfect globe, sliglitly flattened at both poles, and being what 
we call true apple shape, Tne keeping qualities are most 
noticeable, since not one of the bulbs has shown a tendency to 
sprout after some montlis of being harvested. It seems to us to 
gossess all the keeping qualities of Australian Brown, but is 
y far a more attractive color and possesses the beauty and 
market superiority of the best varieties of the Yellow Globe. 
Pkt., 15 cts.; o/„, 35 cts.; ^ lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50.
