^ Finch’s Perfection Pea. I French Asparagus Bean. J 
finch’s perfection pea. 
If you want a mess of the SWEETEST and RICH¬ 
EST FLAVORED Peas on your table several days 
before your neighbors even think of picking theirs, 
then I say by all means sow some of my Perfection. 
This pea is earlier than American Wonder, and as 
early as the earliest of the Hard Round peas, and 
the very earliest of all the sweet wrinkled peas. The 
vines grow about 18 inches high and need no bush¬ 
ing. After a trial of the best early sorts I have 
selected this pea as the EARLIEST and SWEETEST. 
The proper thing to do is to sow the Perfection for 
the VERY EARLIEST, and the American Wonder for 
a second early, and also late pea. Packet, 10 cts.; 
pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. 
Genuine Sure=Head 
Cabbage. 
GENUINE SURE-HEAD CABBAGE. 
This popular cabbage is rightly named Sure-Head, 
and never fails to make a remarkably fine, solid, 
large head, with few outer leaves, as shown in our 
illustration, which we have had engraved from a 
photograph of one’taken from our field. It originated 
some yearssince with a practical market gardener by 
crossing the fiat Dutch and Drumhead varieties, and 
has always brought the highest price in our market. 
It is a strong, vigorous grower, ripening late for a 
main crop, and very uniform in size and color. Pkt., 
10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 
FRENCH ASPARAGUS BEAN. 
This bean was first imported from France, where it 
is said to be very popular. The pods are of a beauti¬ 
ful green, growing from 15 to 20 and often 30 inches 
in length, and are produced in great abundance as 
shown in the illustration. I have grown them as a 
curiosity only, but Mr. John Damon, a prominent 
gardener of Darby, Philadelphia, says: “I have 
grown all varieties of beans, and I consider the 
Asparagus Bean the most delicious, productive and 
best I have ever had.” Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for25cts. 
Japanese Climbing 
Cucumber. 
This cucumber 
is such a strong 
and vigorous 
grower that the 
vines attain 
twice the length 
of ordinary vari¬ 
eties. The vines 
climb readily, 
and they may be 
grown on fences, 
poles or trellises, 
thus saving much 
valuable space in 
small gardens. 
The fruits are of 
a fine, lovely 
green color, 
about a foot in 
length. Flesh 
thick and firm 
and of splendid 
quality. Never 
bitter and ex¬ 
ceedingly fine for 
pickling'as well 
as for slicing. 
The vines never 
mildew, and the 
fruit being raised 
well above the 
ground is always 
tree from insects, rot or rust. When picked freely, 
a vine will continue bearing during the entire sea¬ 
son. and one hill will keep a good sized family sup¬ 
plied with this delicious vegetable all summer.
