place for it in the North. Surprise is just as early and productive 
and of far better quality. It is a sweet wrinkled variety growing 28 
to 30 inches tall. The pod is 3 inches long containing 6 to 8 peas. 
Only desirable for home garden. lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.85; 
100 lbs. $16.15. 
T ittlp Morttpl * 62 days. One of the older varieties of 
J-zilliC; J.VXa.1 V Cl . ea rly wrinkled peas but one of the best, 
if not the best. Our experience is that it will outyield Surprise and 
is more dwarf, growing only 18 inches tall. The pods are about 3 
inches long, 7 to 8 peas in a pod. Like Surprise, it is not desirable 
for shipping as the pods are too small. Little Marvel is much better 
for home markets, the pod being a darker green than Surprise.

the Laxton group to be introduced. Now largely replaced by Lax-

long, square ended containing 7 to 8 large tender peas of good qual¬ 
ity. M lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.95; 100 lbs. $17.00. 
Midseason Giant: 
67 days. Very similar to, if not 
identical with, Asgrow 40, Giant 
Stride and Wyoming Wonder. Matures after the early varieties 
and seems to stand the hot weather better than most varieties of 
this season. The vines grow about 20 inches high. The 4J4 inch 
pods contain 8 to 9 large peas of good quality. Pods are dark green 
which make it a desirable shipping variety. lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 
15 lbs. $3.15; 100 lbs. $18.00. 
Alderman or Dark Podded Telephone: 
74 days. This variety is so much better than the old Telephone 
that we no longer list that variety. Alderman is the late variety 
commonly used in sections where peas are grown for shipping. The 
vine grows about 40 inches tall, the pods 4L£ to 5J^ inches long, 
dark green and contain 8 to 10 plump large peas. We consider 
Alderman the best tall pea. lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.55; 
100 lbs. $14.30.

ot-ric TVTrkHol • A n improved strain of the old 
dll lo 1V1UUC1 . Hollow Crown but better filled at 
the sides. The roots are well shaped, smooth and white. We grow 
this seed from selected transplanted roots. This increases the cost 
but we feel that it is worth it to the gardener who wants quality 
parsnips. Pkt. $.05; oz. $.15; }4, lb. $.40; lb. $1.00.

75 days. This is the thickest 
meated pepper that we know of. 
Fruits are large, 4J^ inches long by 4 inches thick. Very attractive, 
smooth, deep green, sweet and mild. Some growers feel that Cali¬ 
fornia W T onder is too late for the East but we have found that for 
green peppers the very thick meat makes it possible to pick it less 
mature that other varieties. Varies in productiveness in different 
soils. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.55; K lb. $1.70; lb. $5.70.
