iVICL,ean S Aavancer about two and one-half to three feet, with 
long pods, about two and three-fourths to three inches long, which are 
abundantly produced and well filled to the ends. This pea is used very ex¬ 
tensively by market gardeners because of its productiveness and fine 
appearance of its pods, and is popular with consumers on account of its 
quality. It is also largely used by canners. By careful selection we have 
developed a strain showing marked improvements in vigor of plant size

100 Lbs. $22.50 
The vines are stout, of medium height, about two or 
i urK&iiire nero two and one-half feet, bearing near the top a number 
of rather broad pods of medium size, about three inches long, 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, marrow-like pea. Seed 
large, wrinkled and flattened. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lb.. 70c. postpaid- 
100 Lb.. $25.00 
Ri: ea ’ The vin , es are stout i of medium height, about 
DllSS Uverbearmg two and one-half to three feet, bearingat the 
top six to ten good sized pods, about two and one-half to three inches 
long. If these are picked as they mature and the season and soil are 
favorable, the plant will throw out branches bearing pods which will ma¬ 
ture in succession, thus prolonging the season. The peas are large and 
wrinkled, cook very quickly, are tender, of superior flavor and preferred 
by many to any other sort. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lb.. 70c. po.tpaid; 100 
Lbs. $25.00

connoisseur one-half to three feet high, of robust habit and very pro¬ 
ductive. The pods which are abundantly produced are of good size, very 
attractive dark green color and are well filled with seven to nine peas of 
exceptionally good Quality. A very desirable sort for the home garden on 
account of its excellent quality. Its productiveness and fine dark color 
recommend it to market gardeners. Seed medium size, light green, semi- 
wrinkled. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00 postpaid; 100 Lb*. $35.00 
TL 0 The vines of th is exceptionally hardy, second early 
1 ne aanurai variety are tall and vigorous, about four feet high. 
The pods are usually borne in pairs, are curved, bright green, about 
two and three-quarters inches long, and are crowded with six to nine 
peas of good quality and deep green color. Seed wrinkled, of small- 
medium size, cream colored. Owing to its great vigor, heat resistance 
and productiveness, and the fine color and suitable size of the green 
peas, this variety is very well adapted for canners’ use. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 35c; 
2 Lbs. 60c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $20.00 
This has become the leading pea with market gardeners 
1 eiepnone whose trade appreciates fine appearance and high quality. 
. The vines are tall and vigorous, growing about four feet high, with large, 
coarse, light colored leaves and producing an abundance of pointed pods of 
largest size, often four and one-half to live inches long, attractive bright 
green, filled with very large peas which are tender, sweet and of excellent 
flavor. It comes into use soon after the Premium Gem and is one of the 
best sorts for either home or market. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c.

A very ,ar £ e ' wrinkled pea similar to Telephone 
t'UKc or AlDany in growth and season but darker in color of roliage 
and pods. The vines are tall, about four and one-half to five feet high, 
vigorous and strong growing. The pods are of largest size, often four and 
one-half to five inches long, straight and thick, borne in great profusion 
and when in condition for picking, of a deep green color. In many locali¬ 
ties this variety is sold as an Improved strain of Telephone. Its pro¬ 
ductiveness and fine color make it a very profitable sort for market 
gardeners while its splendid quality should give it a place in the home 
garden. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $30.00 
iii This is in many respects the very best early main crop 
Alderman variety of the valuable Telephone type. The vines are 
tall growing, about four and one-half to five feet high, dark green, 
vigorous and exceedingly productive. The pods are of largest size, often 
five to five and one-hair inches long, dark green, similar to but a little 
larger and a shade darker in color than those of 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 dis¬ 
tance. The Alderman answers these requirements and we recommend it 
unreservedly. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $30.00
