vor. A great favorite with our market gar- 
deners for Fall or early Spring planting. Pkt.,

AMERICAN WONDER.

have been introduced since, this still re- 
mains a leading favorite for home and 
market. The vines grow only 8 to 10 
inches high, and pods mature in quick 
succession to the Extra Early. Pkt .

PREMIUM GEM. 
One of the earliest dwarf varieties, 
coming in a little later than the 
"American Wonder;’’ grows taller, 
much more productive and continues 
in bearing longer. The quality of the 
pea is very superior. Height, 15 
inches. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 10 lbs., 
$2.50. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR. 
Height, 15 inches. This sort 
resembles the American Won- 
der, but grows a trifle taller

as the American Wonder. The 
pods average 3 inches in 
length. Pkt., 10c; lb., 30c.
