exceedingly strong and wiry, enabling it to hold up it.s enormous 
heads of grain witliout breaking or lodgmg in the lea.st. The 
berry is very large and plump, weighing very heavy, of a pure 
white color. It brings more than any other variety in the mar- 
ket. It is the heaviest yielding variety we^ know of, and is 
pas.sessed of so many good qualities that we unhesitatingly recom- 
mend it to our farmer friends as the best variety ever introduced 
in Americji. Our stock this year is somewhat Umited, but we will 
nil all orders in rotation as long as it lasts. Order early if you 
want to get the best oat in the world. Lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 70o,

Dwarf Telephone Peas. 
This variety is the result of many 
years' experimenting, with the view 
of producing a pea with dwarf vines, bearing large pod.s and peas of the 
highest quality. Mr. Allan, the veteran pea grower of Canada, has at last produced 
such a variety, which was introduced by him two years ago and immediately 
sprang into popularity, and bids fair to become the most widely ^rown of any sort 
ever introduced. Its habit is dwarf, stocky, healthy and vigorous; the vines uncler highest 
cultivation never growing more than 18 inches high. It Is very producti ve, many plants bear- 
~. ...g from five to seven pods. The pods arc of the largest size, i to .5 inches in length, and well 
V filled with large peas of the most delicious quaUty. The sea.son is from five to seven days 
earUerthanthe Stratagem, and it is a remarkably good shipping variety. In fact this mar- 
velous variety possesses all the most desirable qualities in a pea for both home and market 
use. Pkt. IOC, pt. 35c, qt. 60c, pk. $2.50.

Tall Gray Sugar Pea. 
est varieties in cultivation and at the same time one of 
the best. Our grandmothers cultivated this variety in 
their gardens, and esteemed it for the sweet, delicious 
flavor of both the pea and the pod, which is edible anclfar 
nicer than the best of the butter beans. Many people of 
today have never grown or even heard of such a variety. 
With tho idea of bringing it to their attention more 
prominently, we list it in ourspecialties and recommend 
It to everyone who grows peas for home u.se or market. 
The vines grow to a height of 3 to 4 feet ; are very vigor- 
ousand prixluctive. The po<ls are broad, rather flat, froni 
4 to 5 inches in length, and are broken and cooked like 
string beans, being of the most delicious fla- 
vor. The peas are of medium size and are 
of the same fine flavor as the pod. Care 
should be taken not to allow the po<ls to be- 
come tooold liefore using. Several varieties 
have been offered of late years, such as 
Melting Sugar, Mammoth Luscious, etc., 
but after thorough trial we consider het 
old Tall Gray Sugar the best of all. Pkt.

that there ha.s never been on the market any one 
variety of com that combined the essential features of 
earliness and g<K>d flavor in a satisfactory degree. In 
these important characteristics, METROPOLITAN cer- 
tainly out<;lasses any other variety . It is only two days 
later than Cory, which, until now, has been tne 
earliest sort. Tne plant is distinqt, being very 
strong in stalk, growing b}4 feet in height. The leaves 
are numerous, narrow and very dark green in color. 
The ears are all set low, not over IJ^ feet from the 
ground, producing from two to three to the plant. They 
are unifonnlv 9 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, well fillod 
to tho tip witii large deep grains which are very tender. 
It is not merely sweet but possesses in a remarkable 
degree that exquisite richness so well known in the 
larger and lat«r sorts. Wo should add that an ample 
husk fully insures its value as a shipping variety. In- 
deed, the combination of good qualities possessed by it 
makes it tho most desiralile of all for early trucking.

It is a perfect variety for table use, anditsearliness and,
