Peas. 
This delicious vegetable is so 
much finer when freshly gathered 
than when allowed to shrivel for- 
days in the market, that every 
family, if possible, should grow 
their own Peas. For early crop, 
plant as soon as the ground can 
possibly be worked in the spring, 
and plant every two weeks there¬ 
after for succession until summer. 
Childs’ WSorning Star — A new 
wrinkled Pea, earlier hy a week 
than any of the small, round 
varieties. This was the greatest 
vegetable novelty of 1894. It is 
the earliest pea grown by nearly 
a week. It is a fair-sized, 
wrinkled variety, and, there¬ 
fore, possesses the same de¬ 
licious quality of the late 
wrinkled kinds. For the first 
time the fine quality of the late 
varieties is combined with ex- 
f/ , 0 - - treme earlineSs. When this is 
s once tried no other early pea 
will be grown. Added to its other qualities it is exceedingly 
prolific, and continues to bear longer than any other early 
sort. It grows 18 to 20 inches high, and does not require 
bushing. Mr. William Falconer says:- “I ought to tell you 
about the ‘ Morning Star ’ wrinkled pea you let me try here 
two years ago. I sowed, it in single rows in light, warm soil, 
about the end of March, when I sowed round peas and Alpha 
anu American Wonder. It astonished me by its earliness, 
coming in ahead, and it is a good cropper and of fine quality, 
better still, it is the most reliable wrinkled pea for fall use 
-sown August 1st—that I have ever grown.” Mr. J. Gfoody, 
ot Clare, Suffolk, England, writes: “Your pea, ‘Morning 
“tar,, beats any pea in England for a first crop.” Pkt., 10c. ; 
l Pkts., 25c. ; pint, 35c.; quart, 6()c. By express or freight, 
»2.oo per peck ; $6.00 per bushel. 
Childs’ Universal -In Childs’ Universal we have a new 
sort destined to become the universal garden favorite 
the world over. It was originated over ten years ago, 
since when it has been carefully selected and grown, 
until we now have what.we believe is the most perfect 
pea in cultivation. It combines a dwmrf habit with fine 
quality and enormous productiveness, the three essential 
features all in one sort. It cart be styled a half-dwarf, 
not tall enough to require staking, yet branching freely 
and producing vine enough to give one of the largest 
crops any pea can yield. The peas are of medium size, 
wrinkled, and of exceedingly high flavor. It is medium 
early, and fine for succession if sown at intervals of 
two weeks. For a standard garden sort it must take 
the lead, being superior to Champion of England, inas- 
' much that it does not require staking. Per pkt., 10c.; 
pint, 40c.; quart, 75c. 
Alaska— The best of all early round varieties, ripening ahead 
of all others, except. Childs’ Morning Star, and bearing 
great quantities of fine peas, richly flavored. A fine 
market pea, as the whole crop matures almost at one 
time. Pkt., 10c. ; pint., 30c.; quart, 40c. 
Champion of England —Still able to hold its own among all 
newcomers as a pea of superlatively fine quality. Late 
and a heavy cropper. Unsurpassed quality. Pkt., 10c.; 
pint, 20c.; quart, 35c.

American Wonder— An early wrinkled pea of exquisite 
flavor, ready for the table in thirty to forty days after 
planting. Grows only a few inches high. Pkt., ioc.; 
pint, 30c.; quart, 50c. 
McLean’s Little Gem —An old standard Tom Thumb vari¬ 
ety, still among the very best for a first crop pea. Yery 
hardy. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; quart 40e. 
Everbearing—A fine sort for the home garden, as it does not 
ripen its pods atone crop, but continues in bearing a long 
time. Fine flavor. Pkt., loe.; pint, 30c.; quart, 60 c.
