The Best Peas —Continued 
Giant Laxtonian or Blue Bantam 
New Vigorosa 
Very Early—Extra Large Podded—Heavy Yielder—Sweet Flavored 
A giant podded, dwarf, extra early pea. The most valuable Pea introduced in many years. This hand¬ 
some new wrinkled Pea is the largest podded of all the dwarf early Peas. It grows only 16 to 18 inches 
high, requires no support, and has the same large pods as Gradus, even a few days earlier in season and 
of little darker green color. The Peas are almost double the size of any other early dwarf Pea, are 
wrinkled, of bluish-green color, and have the true rich marrow flavor, tenderness and quality of the best 
main crop varieties. Its great earliness, the very large size and dark green color of the pods commends 
this variety particularly for market gardeners’ use, while the unsurpassed quality makes it especially de¬ 
sirable for the table. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid.

Carter’s Tall Telephone 
A Standard Large Podded Main Crop Variety in Every Market 
The Telephone has become a favorite Pea with market gardeners whose trade appreciates fine appear¬ 
ance and high quality. Vines vigorous, growing about 4 feet high, producing an abundance of very 
large pods filled with immense Peas, which are tender, sweet and of excellent flavor. Foliage and pod 6 
are of light, bright green color. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 22c; lb. 38c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid.

The Great Continuous Everbearing Variety 
Vine stout, about two and one-half feet high, bearing at the top six to ten broad pods. If these are 
picked as they mature and the season and soil are favorable, the plant will throw out branches bearing 
pods which will mature in succession, thus prolonging the season. The Peas are very large and wrinkled, 
cook very quickly, are tender, of superior flavor and preferred by many to any other sort. 2 oz. pkt. 
10c; V 2 lb. 22c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c, postpaid. 
Grant’s Favorite 
The Ideal Home Garden Pea. Tall Vines, Large Pods; Luscious Peas Which Are Rich and Finely Flavored 
This fine variety of our own introduction is unquestionably the sweetest late Pea ever offered, com¬ 
ing into use just after the early varieties are through bearing. A luxuriant grower from 4 to 5 feet 
high. The pods are of good size, and always well filled with exceptionally sweet and highly flavored 
Peas. It is nearly an upright grower, but will do better if staked or planted along a fence. 2 oz. pkt. 7c; 
1/2 lb. 18c; lb. 33c; 2 lbs. 60c, postpaid. 
Improved Champion of England 
The Standard Sweet Flavored Late Wrinkled Pea 
Very productive and universally admitted to be one of the richest and best flavored Peas. Height four 
to five feet; seed light green and much shriveled. Very inferior and mixed stocks of this sort are fre¬ 
quently offered, but when the seed is as well grown and selected as that we offer, we consider the 
variety equal in quality to any in cultivation and one of the best of its season, either for the amateur 
or market gardener. This is the latest pea we grow; it is about a week later than Telephone. 2 oz. 
pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid. 
Mammoth Podded Sugar Marrowfat 
The Largest Podded, Most Productive and Best Flavored of the Marrowfat Peas. A Good Variety for 
Late Crop 
Extremely prolific, outyielding any known sort, Pods are 3 to 4 inches long, completely filled with 
large peas of good flavor. Vines grow about 4 feet high; should be bushed for best results. Uniform 
in type, large pods and the fine, cool looking, rich green color of the pods, give them the highest market¬ 
able value in appearance, which is retained several days longer than pods of Lighter color. 2 oz. pkt. 
7c; V 2 lb. 17c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 55c, postpaid. 
Melting Sugar Pea—Edible Pods 
Pods as Well as the Peas Are Eaten. Same as Green Beans. Good Size; Fine Yielder; Wonderful Qual¬ 
ity and Very Sweet and Tender. 
An excellent edible podded Pea with large sized pods, of delicious quality. Pods are very large, sweet, 
smooth, extremely tender, so brittle that they snap, absolutely without any strings and of the most 
delicious flavor. Vines are tall, about five feet high, and do better if supported. 2 oz. Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb. 
22c; lb. 40c; 2 lb. 70c, postpaid. 
New Vigorosa 
The Most Magnificent Of All New Productions. Nothing Like It For A Second Early Pea Has Ever 
Been Produced. It Requires No Support. There Is No Pea More Prolific. It Is A Leader In The 
Market And In Demand Among Epicures. To Try It Is To Surely Succeed. 
This grand, exceptionally good, new Pea is beyond all reasonable doubt by long odds the very best 
Second Early variety that has ever been introduced. The extended history of Pea culture gives us no 
example of a production anything near the equal of Vigorosa. It is absolutely unparalleled. No bush¬ 
ing at ail is required. The vines grow to be but 20 inches tall and are so stout they bear immense 
crops without failing. As an enormous yielder the New Vigorosa ranks first, and has no elose rival. 
When it comes to quality—well, that is one of its many strong points. No one who knows the merits 
of real Peas could possibly find fault with it. It pleases critical judges, which means it is all that we 
claim for it. Those of our customers who have tried it say it is better than we represent it to be.
