LIVINGSTON’S PROLIFIC EARLY MAR¬ 
KET. — It is claimed that none of the numerous extra 
earlies compare with Livingston’s Prolific Early Mar¬ 
ket in length of pod, number of peas in a pod, or num¬ 
ber of pods to the vine. Single plants yield 40 or 50 
well developed peas as the result of one pea sown. The 
average yield is sometimes 50 per cent, larger than 
any other variety. 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 this.
