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 spiing, 
and plant every two weeks there¬ 
after for succession until summer. 
Childs’ Morning Star— A new 
wrinkled Pea , earlier by a week 
than any of the small , round 
varieties .—This was the great- 
est vegetable novelty ol loy4. 
It is the earliest Pea grown by 
nearly a week. It is a fair 
sized, wrinkled variety, and, 
therefore, possesses the same 
delicious quality of the late 
wrinkled kinds. For the first 
time the fine quality of the 
late varieties is combined with 
extreme earliness. When this Jt^other 
other early Pea will be to bear 
qualities it is exceedingly prolific &nd_ ig to 20

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 dwarf habit with fine 
quality and enormous productiveness, the three essential 
features all in one sort. It can 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, inasmuch 
that it does not require staking. Per pkc., 10c.; pint, 
40c.; quart, 75c.
