. Sometimes sold as Dwarf Telephone. A semi-dwarf, 
Daisy very large podded main crop pea similar to Improved 
Stratagem but a little earlier maturing and lighter in color of 
vine and pod. A vigorous growth is characteristic of this 
variety. Market gardeners, even when the season is not the 
most favorable, can depend on it for a splendid yield of hand¬ 
some pods filled with very large peas of the finest quality.

. « Most stocks of the large podded. 
Improved otratagem semi-dwarf, English varieties of 
peas have been so wanting in uniformity and evenness of type 
as to disgust American planters, but by constant effort we 
have developed a stock 
which comes true and 
we do not hesitate to 
pronounce it one of the 
be^t of the large pod¬ 
ded sorts. The pods 
are of largest size, 
long and pointed, dark 
green, and uniformly 
filled with very large, 
dark green peas of tne 
finest quality. Pkt. 10c;

wrinkled pea and 
wherever known is 
proving a popular main 
crop sort for the mar¬ 
ket or home garden. 
The vine is only about three feet high, vigorous, hardy, 
and unusually productive. Pods fully four inches long, 
broad, quite straight, deep green in color, handsome 
and very well filled with large peas which are tender and 
unsurpassed in auality. The stock we offer is vastly 
superior in productiveness, size of pod and quality to 
much that is sold under this name. (Crop failed)

Pride or the Market stiff, with large, dark 
green leaves and bearing at the top, generally in pairs, 
a good crop of large, pointed, dark green pods well filled 
with large peas of good flavor. We have given this 
variety special attention and the stock we offer is so 
much superior to that commonly sold as to seem a dif¬ 
ferent sort. We recommend it as one of the very best 
of the large podded varieties, especially suitable for 
market gardeners. (Crop failed) 
if i.. 0 There is a class of peas not gener 
Melting OUgBT ally known in this country but 
much used abroad in which the sweet, brittle and suc¬ 
culent pods have none of the tough, inner lining found 
in the ordinary varieties of garden peas. They are used 
in the same way as snap or string beans. The best of 
these edible podded sorts is the Melting Sugar of which 
we offer a very fine strain. The pods are very large, 
broad, curved or twisted, extremely tender, finely 
flavored and are borne in great abundance on vines four 
to five feet high. Seed medium to large, smooth, round, 
light yellow. (Crop failed) 
• c i i Very productive and 
Champion or England universally admitted to 
be one of the richest and best flavored of the late peas. 
Height four to five feet; seed light green and much 
shriveled. Very inferior and mixed stocks of this sort are 
frequently offered but when the seed is as well grown and 
selected as that we offer we consider the variety equal in 
quality to any in cultivation and one of the best of its 
season, either for the home garden or market gardener.

FIELD PEAS 
Field Peas deserve more general attention for fodder than they now receive. In the north tor dairy < 
hogs, they are fully equal to corn, and about six weeks earlier. For cows, the crop should be cut and fed green. For 
hogs alone it can be used as pasturage. Field Peas can be sown either alone or with oats as early as the condition of the 
soil will permit. If the stubole from green winter rve or other crops cut in June be turned under and sown to mixed peas 
and oats, it will furnish a large amount of forage in August when grass pasture is usually short. 
As fertilizer, field peas should be plowed under when in blossom. They will grow on land that will not produce clover.
