EMERSON’S MAMMOTH PRIZE (New). 
Here is a variety of mid-season pea grown 
especially for us and that is a result of 
hybridization and selection for more than a 
generation by one of America’s leading 
breeders and growers of peas. Growing a 
2-foot coarse dark green vine, it produces 
abundant 4 to 5 inch dark single and double 
pointed saddle-back pods, maturing in about 
75 days and containing 6 to 8, larger than 
ordinary peas, of exceptional eating quality. 
Ideal for home or the market gardener who 
must have a handsome deliciously flavored, 
yet high yielding pea. An excellent shipper 
too. In its season this pea is unexcelled.

THE DANDELION 
The dandelion is so regular in the opening 
of its flowers between five and six in the 
morning and closing them against the night 
detv between eight and nine in the evening 
that it was one of the dependable flowers 
chosen by Linnaus for his flower clock.
