JAMES J. H. G BE GOBY & SON'S BETAIL CATALOGUE. 
THE SUNOL PEA. 
Mr. J. H. Allan, who has originated 
more varieties of new peas than any seed 
grower on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, 
sends this newcomer out as bis latest 
improvement in the early market garden 
sorts. He claims that it is the earliest of 
all to mature, and is decidedly the most 
profitable to raise of all the early varie¬ 
ties. Price per bush., per express, $6.00; 
per pk., $1.75; per qt., postpaid, 50 cts.; 
per package, 10 cts. 
the paragon pea* 
This is a first-class late pea. Vines three 
feet in height; pods above the average in 
size and well filled , being in this respect 
decidedly superior to Hair’s Mammoth, 
and other late sorts. C. E. Allen, the 
well-known horticulturist of Floral Park, 
H. Y., writes: “The Paragon yielded 
three times as many pods as the Cham¬ 
pion of England, with peas of larger size 
and much better quality.” Price per 
quart, postpaid, 60c; per package, 10c. 
TJlE JiEROIfiE PEA. 
Our English cousins have sent us am 
other fine pea under the above name. It 
is one of the large podded, large pea class, 
with the great advantage 
over most of them in the 
fact that its type is fixed 
and it has not the sport¬ 
ing proclivities of some 
well-known sorts that 
would otherwise be very 
desirable. It is medium 
early, green, wrinkled, 
growing about 2 % feet 
high. The pods are of large size, long and pointed, 
containing from six to nine large peas. Quality 
the very best. Mr. Charles E. Pecker, one of our 
best market gardeners, writes : “I find the type of 
the Heroine pea to be thoroughly fixed. It is a fine 
pea for the most critical market gardener.” Price 
per quart, postpaid, 65 cts.; per package, 10 cts. 
THU FREEMAN POTATO. 
The reports of the results of a trial of this new 
potato vary. Though not the earliest,we find it ranks 
in the very early class; that it is a good cropper, 
and the potatoes of fair market size. Some experi¬ 
menters complain of the small size of the tubers; 
a little higher manuring, we believe, would obviate 
this. The tubers are very handsome, with eyes 
near the surface, and the quality excellent. Price per barrel, per express or railroad, 
$3.00; per peck, $1.00; 3 pounds per mail, $1.00; 1 pound per mail, 40 cents.

The 
Heroine Pea. 
Early Norther Potato. 
A seedling raised from a seed ball of the 
Early Pose. In shape, color, and season 
of ripening it very closely resembles the 
Early Rose, but in yield is more prolific. 
It is likely to become as popular as the 
Hew Queen. Market gardeners writing 
to the originator (from whom we obtained 
our seed stock) speak very highly of it. 
H. G. Kilborn, Douglas County, Minn., 
whites : “This has been a very poor sea¬ 
son for potatoes, but nevertheless from 
the one barrel Early Horther, bought 
from you last spring, I harvested one 
hundred and forty-seven bushels. From 
the five barrels Hew Queen I got five 
hundred and ten bushels.”
