LIVINGS TON’S PROLIFIC EARLY MAR 
KET.— It is claimed that none of the numerous ex 
tra eariles compare with Livingston's Prolific Early 
Market in length of pod. number of peas in a pod, or 
number of pods to the vine. It is claimed that a sin¬ 
gle plant will yield 40 to 50 well-developed peas as the 
result of one pea sown. The quality is one of the very 
best, one of the sweetest and finest flavored of the 
early smooth varieties. You should not fail to try

SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR.— This comes into 
bearing a few days later than Nott’s Excelsior and is 
undoubtedly a fine, early, wrinkled pea for either home 
use or market gardeners. Having had several calls for 
this pea, I take pleasure in listing it this year for the 
first time. It has longer and broader pods'of a lighter 
green color than Nott's Excelsior. The pods are square 
at the ends, with six or eight large size peas to the 
pod. The vines grow 15 inches long and are very 
hardy, permitting early planting. They are heavy 
bearers, and on account of its hardiness and large 
sized pods, many prefer it to the large podded, taller 
varieties. Pkt. 10c; pt. 30c: qt. 50c, postpaid. By ex¬ 
press, 4 qts. $1.25; pk. $2.00: bus. $7.00.

autumn cropping. Pkt. 10c: pt. 25c; qt. 45c, postpaid
