to 41% inches long, pointed, dark green, and uniformly filled with very large, 
dark green Peas of the finest quality. Pkt., 10c. 
CHAMPION OF ENGLAND. A very productive, richly flavored late Pea. Vines 
are 4 to 5 feet high. The seed is light green and much shriveled. We consider, 
when well grown, the variety equal in quality to any in cultivation and one 
of the best of its season for the home garden and market gardener. Pkt., 10c. 
MELTING SUGAR. 72 days. Edible pods. This is a class of Peas not generally 
known in this country but much used abroad in which the sweet, brittle and 
succulent pods have none of the tough inner lining found in the ordinary 
varieties of garden Peas. They are used in the same way as snap or string 
Beans. 'Pkt., 10c. 
A TIP TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM PEA LOUSE 
Sow a strip of Turnip seed 5 feet wide around the field of Peas, which will 
attract the Pea louse, and feed upon the Turnip instead of Peas; thus prevent- 
ing the destruction of the crop. Sow early Turnips with early Peas and late 
Turnips with late Peas. This has been given to us by an expert.grower who 
claims it to be a sure remedy.

* PLAIN PARSLEY. The leaves of this variety are flat, deeply cut but not curled. 
Very desirable for flavoring soups and stews and for drying. It is a favorite 
on account of its very dark green leaves, as well as its hardiness. Pkt., 10c.

lent for garnishing and flavoring. A handsome decorative plant. Leaves very 
_ finely cut and so closely crisped or curled as to resemble bunches of moss.

strain is exceptional. Pkt., 10c.
