UKECK’S EXCELSIOR PEA. 
PEA. — Breck’s Excelsior. 
We have cultivated during the past season all the Peas our trade will require of the different 
sorts, and we are pleased to inform our customers, out of the twenty-two different varieties we 
grew, Breck’s Excelsior was the earliest and most productive,— it requiring no bushing and being 
of a delicate sweet flavor. 
Mr. G. E. Allen, of Brattleboro, Vt., speaks of it as follows: “ Breek’s Excelsior Pea, 
planted on my own grounds last year beside six other varieties, claimed to be as early, this 
proved five to ten days earlier, and a week earlier than American Wonder. Larger, longer and 
more pods, better filled out, and more peas in a pod, than any other smooth sort. For a produc¬ 
tive, early pea for market-men or private families, none will be found to equal it. Grows from 
twenty to twenty-four inches high, and requires no bushing ; it produced last year on one measured, 
acre of land 250 bushels of green pods.” 
Price, per ]/ 2 pint pkt., 15c.; per pint pkt., 30c.: per quart pkt., 60c. ; per pk., $2.50.

dwarf, growing from eight to ten inches high
