NORTHERN GROWN 
SEED PEAS 
Second Early and Main Crop Varieties 
Second Early. Not only an excellent 
second-early for the home garden, but, from its 
short stocky growth and great productiveness, Is 
also one of the most profitable varieties to plant 
in the field for market. It resembles in habit 
Little Gem, but matures about ten days later, 
coming in about two weeks later than Plant’s 
Extra Early. The pods are of good size and liter- 
ally Packed with Peas of a delicious flavor. It 
is much more prolific than the first Earlies, and 
the larger pods make baskets very quickly. 
Height, two feet. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
Everbearing. Vine stout, about two and one- 
half feet high, bearing at the top six to ten broad 
pods. If these are picked as they mature, and the 
season and soil are favorable, the plant will throw 
out branches bearing pods which will mature in 
succession, thus prolonging the season. The Peas 
are very large and wrinkled, cook very quickly, 
are tender, of superior flavor and preferred by 
many to any other sort. Price, 15 cents. Quart, 
25 cents. 
Champion of England. Universally admitted 
to be one of the best late Peas grown. Of delicious 
flavor, and a very profuse bearer. Desirable for 
home use, and especially recommended for market 
gardeners and for the home market. Very much 
superior in flavor and table qualities to the Mar- 
rowfat Peas. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 25 cents. 
Telephone. A grand wrinkled Pea, undoubtedly the 
best of the tall-growing sorts. Vines reach a height of 
four feet. It is a second early or medium variety, ro- 
bust in habit and a wonderful producer. The pods are 
of largest size and remarkably handsome in appearance. 
They contain eight or ten Peas each, which are invari- 
ably plump, a pleasing pale green in color, and of a 
delightful sugary flavor, not surpassed by any other. 
Telephone is not only a perfect variety for the family 
garden, but is rapidly gaining favor with market gar- 
deners, the strongest evidence of its sterling merits. It 
is certainly admirably adapted to market purposes on 
account of its size, productiveness and good looks, and 
is always sure to sell at good prices. Pint, 15 cents. 
Quart, 25 cents. 
Telegraph. Stronger growing and hardier vine with 
darker foliage and pods than the Telephone; Peas very 
large and of dark green color, seed almost smooth. A 
splendid sort for the market gardener; will give good 
returns even under conditions that would cause most 
varieties to fail. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
Improved Stratagem. Vines of strong growth with 
large foliage, but only eighteen inches in height and do 
not need any support. Pods of large size, well filled 
with large dark-green Peas of rich, sweet flavor. One 
of the very finest. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents. 
Pride of the Market. This improved strain bears 
uniformly large, handsome, dark green pods which are 
filled with large Peas of choice quality. The vines be- 
ing of dwarf growth and not needing brush, make it 
desirable for small gardens. As the rows can be planted 
closely together, a crop nearly as large can be gathered 
as from tall sorts, which require brush. Pint, 20 cents. 
Quart, 35 cents. 
Marrowfat Peas planted in December or January 
come in directly after extra-early varieties planted in 
the spring, and yield a most satisfactory and profitable 
crop. The Marrowfat Peas are hardier than the extra- 
earlies. 
White Marrowfat. Cultivated quite extensively for 
canning. Vines about five feet high and of strong 
growth. Pods large, cylindrical, rough, light colored 
and well filled; seed, large, smooth, round and light 
yellow. It is excellent for summer use, but inferior in 
quality to most of the newer sorts, although undoubtedly 
one of the most productive of the garden varieties. Pint, 
10 cents. Quart, 15 cents. 
Black Eye Marrowfat. An excellent variety, grow- 
ing about five feet high; a very prolific bearer of large 
pods; can be recommended as one of the very best Mar- 
rowfat sorts. Pint, 10 cents. Quart, 15 cents. 
Horsford’s Market-Garden. A first-class wrinkled 
Pea; second-early; height, 24 inches. Does not require 
stakes. Is a profitable sort for market gardeners; a 
single plant has been known to produce 150 pods. It 
is equally good for the home table. The pods are borne 
in pairs, and are easily and quickly picked. This 
variety is claimed to easily yield more shelled Peas to 
the acre than any other variety. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 
25 cents. 
Advancer. A green wrinkled variety about two and 
a half to three feet high, with broad, long pods which 
are abundantly produced and well filled to the ends. 
Considered by seme the best of the second early 
sorts. This Pea is used very extensively by market gar- 
deners because of its productiveness, the fine appear- 
ance of its pods, and is popular with consumers on ac- 
count of its quality. It is also largely used by canners. 
Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 25 cents. 
Shropshire Hero. A handsome podded late variety, 
uniform in growth, two and a half feet high. Very pro- 
lific. Pint, 15 cents. Quart, 30 cents.
