DWARF ALDERMAN. < NEW -> » *•> ™. 
- new variety has 
proved very popular, and gardeners who have wanted 
the large pods and large succulent peas of the old Aider- 
man but who prefer dwarf vines welcome this new vari¬ 
ety. The vines are dwarf and sturdy but the pods are 
produced in great abundance and are almost as large as 
the finest Alderman. They grow nearly five inches long 
and are filled with eight to nine large green peas that are 
extremely delicious and tender. 
This is a midseason variety, maturing about the same 
time as Alderman and is a valuable kind to fill the gap 
between the early and very late varieties. We urge you 
to have some of these peas in your garden this year. 
Y Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7Y Lbs. $2.00 trans¬ 
portation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.85; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) 
$8.95. 
MIDSEASON GIANT. (20 in.) This new dwarf main crop 
variety has become very popular because it yields large 
crops at a time when many varieties do not do well. 
If you want large podded fine flavored peas in abund¬ 
ance, try some of this kind. The vines are vigorous and 
resistant to dry weather producing fine crops of large 
tender delicious peas which are ready a few days before 
Alderman. The pods are 4)^ inches long, dark green and 
filled with 8-9 big peas of delicious flavor. The vines are 
18 to 24 in. high, and are strong and sturdy. This is a 
finely bred wrinkled pea and should not be sown until the 
weather is settled.

portation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.85; 56 Lbs. (Bu.)

ROGERS GILBO. (2 ft.) Robust—Large Pods—Superior Quality —Our customers 
- - have been well pleased with this new variety. The vines and pods 
closely resemble our Midseason Giant, but in our trials it has proved to be a few days earlier than 
that kind. The vines are about two feet tall, strong and robust and bear an abundance of pods. 
The pods are ^Y to 5 inches long, containing 8 to 9 large peas of superb quality. Although a 
wrinkled pea, this is a hardy sort and can be planted earlier than most varieties of this class. 
We recommend this new kind highly both for home and market gardeners. 
Yi Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7)^ Lbs. $2.15 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.15; 
56 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.10. 
ADVANCER. (2Y ft.) The quality is of the very best and it is one of the finest kinds we know of 
for home canning. Matures in mid-season between the early and late kinds. The pods are of 
medium size but so well filled they contain just as many peas as many of the very large podded 
varieties. The vines yield immense crops.

56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
ALDERMAN. (4-5 ft.) The Best Tall Variety. This is really an improved 
• Telephone and it is by far the best variety of this type yielding 
more than any other variety. The pods are similar to Telephone, but are larger, 
deeper green and better filled, while the vines are of more robust growth and more 
prolific. The pods are immense, often 5 inches long and contain 8 to 10 large peas. 
Matures medium late. For best results the vines should be given some support.

15 Lbs. $2.55; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $7.85.

old standard type which has given satisfaction for years. Has been largely super¬ 
seded by Alderman.

LINCOLN. (2 K ft.) This old favorite is still among the best main crop varieties, 
especially for the home garden. The handsome dark green pods are 3 to 3Y in. long, 
closely packed with 8 to 10 peas of medium size and superb quality. They mature 
between Hundredfold and Alderman and are produced in pairs near the top of the 
vines so that they are easily picked.

if the vines are given support with brush or chicken wire, etc.
