Grafton Co., N. H. I bought $5.00 worth of seeds which 
proved to be very fine. The peas were so fine that I had a 
mind to have a photograph taken of them and send it to you. 
Kindly send me a catalogue next year and I will try to send 
you a good order. G. H. Clayton. 
Orange Co., Vt. Will you kindly send me a list of different 
varieties of garden seeds. I have never tried your seeds, but 
have an Uncle that says he cannot get anywhere near as 
good seed elsewhere as he gets of you. Send me list as 
soon as you can. H. Eugene Stickney.

to ripen , not only will new pods cease to form, but those partly advanced will stop growing

THE BEST EARLY DWARF PEA. 
It combines to a wonderful degree the good qualities of 
the American Wonder and Premium Gem Peas without 
their deficiencies. 
The vines are iarger and more vigorous than 
American Wonder, and earlier and more prolific than 
Premium Gem. The Peas in sweetness and quality 
are unsurpassed. 
A most desirable sort for the market gardener, and 
unsurpassed for the home garden.
