ket gardeners. Give it a trial. Unequaled in yield 
«nd unsurpassed in f!-yor. If you desire rvariefv of 
I even growth, wonderful yield 
and the finest flavor, "vou 
should not fail to trv "the 
I'remicr. Thou.lands of" large 
market gardeners prefer it to 
any other sort for early mar- 
keting; this alone l.s a splendid 
testimonial. When we first 
introduced this pea we were 
determined to jjerfect it so 
that it would take the lead 
of all other earlv sorts; this 
we have succeeded in doing. 
It grows to a height of ao to 
30 inches, does not require 
staliing. is an ininiensc crop-

/-liasIVCt. tra early. Un- 
doubtedly one of the very 
earliest varieties that can be 
grown, and a great favorite 
with market gardeners. The 
vines are of strong vigorous 
habit about 2 to 2Vi feet in 
height, and bear from 4- to 7 
long pods that are ahvavs 
filled with medium sized peas 
of the most delicious flavor. 
The pods are of a dark green 
color, and the peas when ripe 
arc rather small and of a blu- 
ish green shade. As It ma- 
ture.s all the crop at one time, 
it is invaluable for large grow- 
ers on account of the ease with 
which they may be gathered. 
We have carefully selected 
our .stock of this variety, and 
believe it is the purest "strain 
lliatcan be procured. Pkt.sc
