Rochester Favorite, This variety somewhat re¬ 
sembles the Burbank, but is larger, more prolific, 
and very hardy. We think it will stand more dry 
weather a:.d hardship than any other variety. 
1 ubers white, oval-oblong, very uniform in size ; eyes 
quite numerous, but even with the surface; an im¬ 
mense yielder, and a handsome variety for marketing ; 
for table use it is fully up to the best; lb. 75 cts.; peck 
50 cents ; bushel $1 . 25 ; barrel £3.00. 
Burbank’s Seedling, a white-skinned variety, tubers 
long and slim, with few eyes, slightly depressed; 
immensely productive; its size and general appear¬ 
ance are very much in its favor for marketing ; lb. 50 
cents ; peck 30 cents ; bushel $1.25 : barrel £3.00. 
Dunmore, tubers medium to large ; skin white, slightly 
russeted, eyes few and small, quite even with the sur-

GARDEN PEAS. 
The Pea is very hardy, and will endure a great amount 
of cold, either in or above the ground ; and as we all 
want “ green peas” as soon as possible in the season, 
they should be put in as early as the soil can be got 
ready — the sooner the better. The etfflicst Peas are 
mostly small, round, smooth and hardy, the tallest not 
growing more than from two to three feet in height. Of 
late years some very fine dw-arf, sweet, wrinkled sorts, 
like American Wonder, Little Gem and Blue Peter have 
been added to this class, of very great merit. The Late 
are large, mostly wrinkled, and formerly w ere nearly all 
tall, like the Champion of Kngland, but very many ex¬ 
cellent dwarfs have been added to the list, like York¬ 
shire Hero. If the Earliest sorts are planted about the 
first of April, in this latitude, they will be fit to gather 
in June, often quite early in the month. Those a little 
later will come in about the Fourth of July. By sowing 
two or three varieties of Early and Late, as soon as 
practicable in the spring, a supply will be had from 
early in June to late in July, with only one sowing. 
After this Sweet Corn will be in demand. The very 
latest kinds will not succeed in this country, as they mil¬ 
dew' in hot weather, so we have omitted them from our 
Catalogue ; nor will very late spwing answer. 
Sow Peas in drills not less than four inches deep, 
about a pint to forty feet. The drills must not be nearer 
than two feet, except for the lowest sorts. Those 
grow ing three feet high or more, should not be nearer 
than three or four feet, and should have brush for their 
support, 'l'he large, fine wrinkled varieties are not as 
hardy as the small sorts, and if planted very early, 
should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot. It is 
well to sow- the earliest Peas just as soon as possible, in 
two or three weeks after, make another sow'ing, a tew 
more early, and some for late crop. 'I’he second sowing 
comes in nicely. Brush should be furnished for all but 
the dwarf kinds as soon as they appear above ground. 
We have sometimes sown a row' of late and early near 
each other, so that the same brush would answer for 
both, 'l’he appearance we have endeavored to show in 
the engraving on the following page : early fruiting, and 
the late in flow'or. 
EARLIEST. 
Peas, Vick’s Extra Early, the earliest and one of 
the best of the very early Peas : of good quality, 
very early, productive; per quart, 60 cents, . 10 
Cleveland’s Rural New Yorker is claimed to 
be the earliest Pea yet introduced. It is of ro¬ 
bust, branching habit, very productive, and 
ripens uniformly. The pods arc very large for 
an early Pea. Height of vine two feet; per 
pint 45 cents, postage paid, . 15 
Peas, Kentish Invicta, round, blue Pea, and the 
earliest blue variety grown, as early as First 
Crop, excellent for family or market; 2 feet in 
height; per quart, 60 cents, . 10 
Carter’s First Crop, very early and quite pro¬ 
ductive; height, 30 inches, and giving a large 
crop for so early a Pea ; per quart, 60c. , . . . 10 
Early Kent, , feet; the common early market 
Pea here; per quart, 60c.,. 10

Tom Thumb, very dwarf, 8 or 10 inches; per

RI.ISS’ AMERICAN WONDER. 
Bliss’ American Wonder. This variety is a 
cross between Champion of England and Mc¬

of its parents. It is the earliest wrinkled Pea in 
cultivation, and a superior cropper, bearing 
larger pods than the other early sorts, and hav¬ 
ing from six to nine large Peas in a pod. The 
vines are from ten to twelve inches high, and of 
robust habit. Our seed is true, coming from the 
original stock ; per quart, 80 cents,. 10
