TELEPHONE PEA. 
A strong, luxuriant-growing main crop variety, at¬ 
taining a height of about 4£ feet. It is exceedingly 
prolific, averaging 18 pods to the stalk, while up to 
24 to the stalk is not uncommon. The pods, the largest 
of all varieties, are packed with immense wrinkled 
marrow peas, 6 to 8 being the average, while 10 to 12 
to a pod are frequently found. The quality is superb, 
rich, sugary and meltingly tender. For family use 
the Telephone Pea is without a peer. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. £ pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush. 
“Your Telephone Peas gave me great satisfaction; people have 
come for miles, having heard of their great production. Several who 
have been gardening all their lives say they never saw peas to ecjual 
them. We have repeatedly counted 22 to 2Jt pods to a stalk, and 
they average 8 to 12 peas per pod, the peas being as large as hazel 
nuts before they lose their grand flavor.” 
//. W. BILLARD, Gravesend , L. N. Y. 
Champion or England. 
We herewith offer a select strain of this grand old 
favorite, too well known to require extended descrip¬ 
tion. It is a main crop and late variety of vigorous 
growth, about 5 feet high, producing abundantly large 
pods of immense Wrinkled Peas that are noted for 
their tenderness and rich marrow-like flavor. To 
equal in quality the Champion of England is the dis¬ 
tinction attained by very few Peas. Price, 10c. £ pt., 
15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $5.00 bush. 
JUNO PEA. 
j\ dwarf main crop wrinKled marrow Pea. 
Enormously prolific. Superb flavor. 
Juno Pea we esteem highly. It is a main 
crop variety, of vigorous constitution, which 
shows itself in the strong, handsome, branching 
plant. It is 2 feet in height, requiring little or 
no brushing. It produces an abundance of the 
finest peas possible, the vines being actually 
laden with pods. These are dark gre>en, stout 
and heavy, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the 
finest quality, which so thoroughly fill the pod 
as to make it almost cylindrical in shape. The 
peas, too, possess the admirable merit of pre¬ 
serving their tenderness and superb flavor long 
after they are young, and also retain their at¬ 
tractive dark green color when served at table. 
(See cut.) Price, 10c. £ pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 
$1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 
“We are just eating the last of your Juno Peas, and they 
deserve all the praise you give them, and more ; their dark-leaved, 
thick vines, loaded with peas, remained perfectly fresh, perfecting 
every pod, during our intense heat, while other sorts fairly 
shriveled up. The pods are thick and meaty, seemingly imper¬ 
vious to the hot sun, keeping the peas in condition for the table 
for a long time. The peas are so plump and large, the pods so 
well filled, the flavor so delicious, and the bearing season so long, 
a combination of excellences rendering Juno the ideal Pea for 
the home garden.” — Mrs. 11. 11. EMERSON , 322 Main Street, 
Jackson, Mich. 
CHELSEA PEA. 
It grows about 15 inches in height and is of 
compact, short-jointed habit, thus requiring no 
brushing or staking. The pods are remarkably 
handsome, being gracefully curved and much 
longer than any other early dwarf kind. They 
are well filled, each containing 8 to 10 good- 
sized wrinkled peas of exquisite quality, which, 
when cooked, are rich, sugary, and of marrow¬ 
like flavor. Price, 10c. £ pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 
$1.85 pk., $7.00 bush. 
** The Chelsea Pea—put out by Peter Henderson & Co .— 
while not the earliest, proved to be the best table pea we have had 
this season. The pods are long and simply jammed full of rich 
peas, and for the family garden it would be difficult to find a 
better.” — THE AGRICULTURAL EPITOMIST.
