quently half an inch in diameter; quality very fine. Its habit of growth is of pecnlinr 
branching character, forming as many as ten stalks from a single rootstalk. Theindividual 
branches are of extraordinary strengih and substance, so that when hilled up properly they 
stand up well without brushing. For continuance of bearing this variety is notable—a 
characteristic which gives it especial value for late spring and summer u^e. After repeated 
pickings the vines continue to be covered with blossoms and buds developing to maturity 
in turn. The quality is the best of any pea known. A variety that slioiild be in every garden.

Hastings’ Home Delight Peas 
Has been planted by thousands of our customers dur¬ 
ing the past 16 years with most satisfactory results. By far 
the best and earliest bearer of the second early or heavy 
bearing peas. A strong, vigorous grower, coming in right 
after the extra early sorts, and while it is enormously pro¬ 
ductive, still it is of such stiff, stocky growth that it can be 
easily grown without brushing when planted in double 
rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows running together as soon 
as they are high enough. In sweetness and tenderness it is 
unsurpassed by any other variety. Pkt., 10c.; 34 pt.,15c.;
