LOW’S CATALOGUE OF SPECIALTIES. 
The Finest Garden Pea Ever Offered. 
CARTER’S STRATAGEM. 
Vevy Prolific. Exquisite Flavor. Handsome Pods. 
Med. Early. Immense Pods. 
A remarkable variety; the finest dwarf j 
wrinkled pea grown, in table quality none can I 
surpass it ; grows to a height of two feet, vines I 
very strong and needing but a slight support, I 
the strong sturdy haulm is literally covered I 
with large pods, many of which measure five I 
and one-half inches in length, and contain as I 
high as ten large, fine-flavored wrinkled peas. I 
Stratagem is the pea for everybody, whether I 
rich or poor ; it is a pea that will always pay I 
to grow for the home table or the market. I 
Seed of the Stratagem, for the past two or I 
three seasons, has been very scarce and high I 
priced. We have grown it extensively for home I 
use and retail market trade and we find it far I 
ahead in general excellence of any of the nu- I 
merous varieties grown. It is truly superb in I 
quality and its handsome appearance when put ] 
for market readily commands the best trade in I 
the highest markets. Not one who has ever I 
grown it will supplant it with any other sort. I 
We have a very excellent stock at the follow- I 
ing prices, true stock: Price per pkt. 15 ets., I 
per pint, 25 cts., per quart 40 ets., per peck I 
82.25, per bush. $8.

Mr. Aarox Low: 
Dear Sir— As a market Pea I consider it the best, as 1 
the looks and size of the pods actually sell It; the qual- 1 
ity is extra good, that is If one likes" a tender, juicy, I 
sweet pea . The Vield to me was something wonderful ; I 
from 1 bushel I sold 110 bushels green peas. The I 
vines are very stout and of a healthy green color, and 1 
believe will bear more manuring than other varieties. 
X am yours truly, H. CROSS.
