Bliss’ American Wonder Pea. 
This is the earliest and most prolific dwarf wrinkled pea in cultivation, it is of the most exquisite flavor, and un- 
surpassed for early sowing. It is a cross between the two favorite varieties “ Champion of England” and “ Little 
Gem.” It combines with all the good qualities of its parents, the additional qualities of a superior flavor than the 
« Champion,” and greater productiveness than the “ Gem.” On good soil each vine will average eight to twelve 
pods, and six peas to a pod (fifteen pods have been counted on some vines, some of them containing eleven large 
peas). The pods are always well filled. The vines are very dwarf, growing from eight to ten inches in height. 
The best results are obtained by sowing with a machine, in drills, eighteen inches apart. I have grown over one 
hundred and ten bushels of green peas on less than three-fifths of an acre. Price per pkt., io cts. ; per pt., 20 cts. : 
per qt., 40 cts. ; 1-4 bus., $2.00. 
Cleveland’s Alaska Pea. 
This is a promising new sort recently introduced, and is the earliest pea known. It combines all the superior 
qualities and features of the Invicta class of peas, and, being earlier, it is an improvement on the older sorts. The 
pods are of good size and plump ; peas fair size, blue color, and good flavor. The many testimonials and good 
reports this variety has received the past season, and the good results the distribution of samples among my cus- 
tomers has been attended with, promise a good run for this new acquisition, and I trust it will prove a worthy sort. 
The source from which it originated is a strong recommendation in its favor, and doubtless it will aid much in its 
rapid introduction. My stock comes direct under seal of originators, and at the following prices : Per pkt., 10 cts., 
per pt., 15 cts., per qt., 30 cts., per i-A bu., $1.50. 
Rural New Yorker Pea, 
It is of robust and brandling habit, thus requiring less seed to the acre, and in a fair season presents the appear 
ance of being clothed with pods. It is not only one of the earliest and most hardy, but it ripens so uniformly that 
the vines can be stripped of 80 to 90 per cent, of the pods in one picking. The pods are large, and contain from six 
to nine peas, of a flavor almost equal to that of a green wrinkled pea. Height of vine two feet. No pea has been 
put out with broader claims, nor been subjected to more severe tests. Sold at the following prices. Price per pkt., 
10 cts. ; per pt., 15 cts. ; per qt., 30 cts. ; per 1-4 bus., Si. 50. 
Horsford’s Market Garden Pea. 
This new wrinkled pea is the result of a oross between the 
“Alpha” and “American Wonder.” It grows from fifteen to 
thirty inches high and requires no bushing, being verv stout 
and of stocky growth. Twenty bushels have been grown from thirty- 
five pounds of seed, and it has yielded at the rate of over fifty bush- 
els per acre. Each vine throws out from fifteen to twenty lat- 
erals, from ten to fifteen inches long, and on some plants 150 
pods have been counted. Its habit is such as to require a compar- 
atively small quantity of seed to plant a piece of land ; the seeds 
can be planted from three to six inches apart in drills. It is me- 
dium early, ripening about the time of “ McLean’s Advancer,” and 
those who have eaten of it pronounce it one of the sweetest they 
ever tasted. My stock I obtained from the originator and is war- 
ranted to be true to the name. I would commend it to all for 
trial. Price po- pkt., 10 cts. ; per pt., 15 cts. ; per qt.. 30 cts. ; 
per 1-4 bus., 31 . 5 o.

seedsman as 1 have from you, and I thank you for it most decidedly.
