PEAS. 
Champion Moss Curled Parsley. 
ALLEN’S FIRST AND BEST.-This is undoubtedly the 
best strain of extreme early, and remarkably uniform extra 
early peas that has ever been produced; it is equally as early 
as the choicest stock of Alaska, and the peas have better 
flavor; the vines are very slender, of very quick growth, and 
average about twenty-four inches high. The pods are well 
filled and the entire crop could be gathered generally in one 
picking. Undoubtedly the best of all extra early peas. Where 
planted exclusively, sowing should be made every week, to in¬ 
sure a constant supply of fresh young pods. Pkt. 10c.; pint 
25c.; qt. 25c.; by mail postpaid By express, receiver to pay 
charges, 4 qts. 75c.; peck $1.25; bushel $4.50. 
BLISS’ EVERBEARING.—A celebrated wrinkled pea one and a 
half to two feet high, of good quality and flavor; its season is late to 
very late? it is especially adapted for summer and autumn cropping; it 
has a remarkable and valuable branching habit, sometimes forming as 
many as ten stalks to one root—the result of a single seed; it requires 
no sticking; repeated pickings may be made, for the vines continue to 
produce blossoms and successive crops of pods in its effort to ripen its 
seeds; it is thus a continuous bearer through a long season. Pkt. 10c.; 
pint 25c.; qt. 45c.; postpaid. By 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.50^bushel $5.50. 
SURPRISE.—This is one of the best new wrinkled peas and is to¬ 
day one of the most famous. It has made an enviable reputation 
within the brief time it has been on the market, and has sprung into 
universal popularity. It is about or quite as early as the smooth vari¬ 
eties and superior to them in quality and yield; it ranks with the very 
earliest of the wrinkled sort. The vine grows about twenty-four 
inches high, requires no sticks. This pea has attracted universal at¬ 
tention and everywhere has made a splendid record; it bears with a 
profusion that is truly remarkable and the quality is exceptionally 
good. Pkt. 10c.; pint 25c.; qt. 45c.; postpaid. By express peck $1.75;

finest quality and extra earliness, and is also very productive; it is 
very hardy and can be planted fully as early as the spring peas; 
grows vigorous and healthy. Vines grow three feet high and are very 
prolific-bearing pods fully as large as Telephone; the color of the 
shelled peas is a beautiful light green which color they retain after be¬ 
ing cooked; the quality and flavor are delicious and the peas remain 
tender and sweet for a long time. Do not fail to have your garden well 
supplied with this variety. Pkt. 10c.; pint 35c.; qt. 65c., postpaid. By

smooth varieties, and will mature almost as soon. Pkt. 10c.: pint 30c ; everbearing.
