wrinkled pea in cultivation. Requires no bushing and is of the 
most exquisite flavor. The best pea for forcing under glass and 
unsurpassed for early sowing. It is a seedling, the result of a 
cross between the two favorite varieties, Champion of England 
and Little Gem . It combines all the good qualities of both its 
parents, with the additional ones of superiority in flavor to the 
Champion, and of greater productiveness than the Little Gem, 
besides being earlier than any other of the wrinkled varieties. 
Peas planted June 5th were ready for the table in thirty-three days 
from date of planting. On good soil each vine will average twelve 
pods, and each pod six peas. Fifteen pods have been counted on 
some vines, and nine large peas in some of the pods, and every 
pod is well filled. The vine is very dwarf, growing from eight to 
ten inches high.. 
Extra Early Premium Gem, grows to the height of 18 inches; pods 
long and of a dark green color; very prolific, and one of the 
earliest.... . . 
McLean’s Little Gem, a dwarf, prolific,green, wrinkled marrow ; habit 
similar to Tom Thumb; a great acquisition; very early; height 
one foot, requires no sticks. 
McLean’s Advancer, a dwarf, green, wrinkled marrow, of fine flavor, 
long pods well filled up, very prolific; two and a half feet high 
McLean’s Blue Peter, in general habit it is well described as a “ Blue 
Tom Thumb,” but possessing a more robust habit; it is earlier 
than Dan O’Rourke, very prolific, and of fine flavor. 
Kentish Invicta, around blue variety; about two feet in height, very 
early and of superior flavor. 
Day’s Early Sunrise, a new and distinct variety from England, of 
hardy and robust growth, and is one of the earliest wrinkled mar¬ 
row peas. The pods which are long, large and well filled with 
very large peas, are produced in pairs in great abundance. 
Laxton’s Prolific Early Long Pod, very productive, frequently aver¬ 
aging eleven to twelve peas in a pod ; for a second early pea there 
is none equal to it; it is very hardy.. 
Laxton’s Supreme, a variety of the green marrows, v ith long, well- 
filled pods literally covering the foliage ; it is nearly as early as 
Dan O’Rourke, and of a most delicious flavor . 
Bishop’s Early Dwarf, a very prolific variety, producing pods abund¬ 
antly from bottom to top of the moderately dwarf vine; the large, 
smooth peas are of excellent quality . 
Bishop’s Dwarf Long Pod, pods very broad, containing four or five 
large white peas of fine quality. Vine medium high, continuing 
in bearing longer than most sorts. 
Dwarf Champion, this pea has proved quite distinct, and is very much 
liked by those who have tried it. It is in quality and flavor equal 
to the Champion of England, while the vine is much more dwarf. 
Peas white, much shrivelled and indented. We think it quite 
equal to McLean’s Little Gem in all respects, except in point of 
earliness, it being some ten days later. 
Fillbasket, this new variety is one of the best second early peas in cul¬ 
tivation ; dwarf-growing, blue, of excellent flavor . 
Champion or England, universally admitted one of the best peas 
grown ; of delicious flavor and a profuse bearer ; 3 to 4 feet .
