well filled to the ends. This pea is used very 
extensively by market gardeners because of its produc¬ 
tiveness, the fine appearance of its pods aim is popular 
with consumers on account of its quality. It is also 
largely used by eanners. By careful selection we have 
developed a strain showing marked improvements in vigor 
of plant, size of pod and productiveness. Pkt 10c-

number of broad pods filled with large peas that remain a 
long time in condition for use and which never become as 
hard as most sorts. The peas are of fine quality and will 
be preferred to any other by those who like a rich, mar¬ 
row-like pea. Seed large, wrinkled and flattened. Pkt. 10c-

DllSS UVerDeanng 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 
large and wrinkled, cook very quickly, are tender, of su¬ 
perior flavor and preferred by many to any other sort.

A J • 1 Vines vigorous, 
I He Admiral about four feet 
high. Pods usually borne in pairs, 
curved, bright green, crowded with 
six to nine peas of the very best 
quality and color. We know of no 
pea which remains palatable longer 
after it becomes large enough to 
use. Seed much wrinkled, of me¬ 
dium size, cream color. Owing to its 
great vigor, productiveness, fine 
color, quality and suitable size of 
the green peas, it is admirably 
adapted for eanners’ use. Pkt. 10c;

Duke of Albany ££& 
similar to Telephone in growth and 
season but darker in color of foliage 
and pods. Vine four and one-half to 
five reet high, vigorous and strong 
growing; pods very large, straight 
and thick, borne in great profusion 
and when in condition for picking, 
of a deep green color. There is an 
increasing demand for peas of this 
color and the productiveness of this 
variety makes it a very profitable 
sort for market gardeners while its splendid 
quality should give it a place in every home 
garden. In many localities this variety is sold 
as an improved strain of Telephone, especiallv 
by market gardeners who find its darker color 
a distinct advantage in that the pods retain a 
marketable appearance longer after picking 
than do those or lighter colored sorts. Pkt 10c- 
Pt. 35c; Qt. 60c; 4 Qts. $2.00; Bu. $12.00’ 
The Telephone has become the 
l Ciepnone leading pea with market gar¬ 
deners whose trade appreciates fine appear¬ 
ance and high quality. Vines vigorous, grow¬ 
ing about four feet high, with large, coarse, 
light colored leaves and producing an abun¬ 
dance of very large pointed pods filled with very 
large peas which are tender, sweet and of ex¬ 
cellent flavor. It comes into use soon after the 
Premium Gem and is one of the best sorts for 
either home or market. Notwithstanding the 
large amount of inferior and spurious stock 
which has been sold, no pea has attained greater popu- 
Jarity than this, thus showing that it has sterling merit. 
The stock we offer has been carefully selected and

AUorman This comparatively new pea is in many re- 
/iiaerman spects the very best early main crop variety 
of the valuable Telephone type. The vines grow nearly five 
feet high, are dark green, vigorous and exceedingly pro¬ 
ductive. Pods very large, long, dark green, similar to but 
a little larger and a shade darker in color than Duke 
of Albany and about the same in season. The peas are of 
largest size and unsurpassed in quality. Market gardeners 
are demanding the large podded, dark colored sorts which 
retain their fine appearance even after shipping a long 
distance. The Alderman answers these requirements anti 
furthermore is the most productive variety of this class. 
We recommend it unreservedly. Pkt. 10c: Pt 40c- Ot 65c-
