SHROPSHIRE HERO. —This variety, ■well illustrated on the second cover page of this . catalogue, is absolutely the best late Pea in culti- ^ vation. As soon as its merits become known, it j will take the place of Stratagem, Telephone, etc. ~ LAXTON'S MARVEL This new Pea, p is truly a marvel in tiavor and productiveness. • Originated by that celebrated grower and intro- jS ducer of so many desirable varieties. Mr. ft Laxton, of Englaud,"it was awarded a first-class £ certificate bv the English Horticultural Society. 5 It grows about 3 feet high, matures about the same ft time as the Champion of England, and produces at ■g all times and under all conditions an enormous !§ quantity of tine handsome pods, which are always 8 full of tine large peas, that in quality are very hard 2 to beat. Marvel is certain to please, and you ought r to have a row in your garden this year. Packet, * 10 cents: pint, 30 cents ; quart, 50 cents. J* HEROINE.—Next to the Shropshire Hero, Heroine is about the best large green wrinkled sort of recent introduction (see illustration below). ™ Growing about 2% feet high, it bears a profusion 5 of large, pointed pods, many of which contain from 8 8 to 9 large peas of the finest quality. It is a second ■« early green wrinkled variety that is sure to make gj a name for itself in every garden in which it may H beplanted. Pkt.,10cts.; pint,30cts.; quart,50cts. g MELTING SUGAR — Well deserves its n name, for this new Pea is unquestionably the best g in size of pod, prolific bearing and delicious j5 quality of all the edible pods. I have been trying „ to obtain a stock of it for some time. This year £ I have been able to secure a very small quantity, »3 grown for me, but can offer it by the packet only. p They should be cooked and eaten, pods and all, «! the same as Wax Beans. Packet, 15 cents, g WHITE MARROWFAT.- Extensively ^m cultivated for summer crops by market-gardeners ; 0j a strong grower and very productive : height about 5 5 feet. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 20 cents ; quart, 35 cents. g BLACK-EVED MARROWFAT Popu- m lar in all parts of the country. Bothof the Marrow- * fats are very extensively grown as a field pea ; very g hardy and productive ; largely used bv the canning g establishments. Pkt., lOcts.: pt., 20cts.; qt.,35cts. ? DWARF SUGAR, (Edible Pods).-Height ; a about 3 feet. Can be used either shelled or cooked * in the pods, which, when voung, are very tender u and sweet. Pkt.. 10 cts.; pint,30cts.; quart.50cts.

Packet. 10 cents ; quart, 35 cents. 5 SOUTHERN WHIP-POOR. a WILT,, (Field) —Used for soiling. ~" 10 cents ; quart, 35 cents. PRIDE OF THE MARKET They require no sticks, and are quite unequaled in pro- ductiveness. They have a robust, free-branching habit, 18 to 20 inches high, and are immensely productive. They are, indeed, such heavy crop- pers, that I know of no peas from which so large a bulk of produce can be obtained from a given space. The pods are large in size and handsome in appearance, and the peas are of so splendid a quality, that it would be difficult to overpraise them. Pkt., 15c; pt., 30c; qt., 55c; 2 qts., $1.00. SANDER'S MARROW A tall, very late and immense cropping variety. The pods are produced in pairs, and are well filled with fine, large wrinkled peas, the largest that we have ever seen ; the quality is sweet and delicious. It has the desirable peculiarity of retaining its deep green color when dished for the table. It is a great favorite with experts in Great Britain, and should be grown by every one desiring a really first-class Pea. Height, 5 ft. Pkt, 10 cts; pt., 30 cts ;'qt., 50 cts. CHAMPION OF ENGLAND—This good old standard sort is still as popular as ever. Very productive and of delicious flavor. I can par- ticularly recommend my stock to market- gardeners. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts. McLEAN'S WONDERFUL- The most prolific of the White Wrinkled Peas in cultivation, bearing its pods near the tips in clusters. Height 2% feet. Ripens about the same time as Champion of England. Quality excellent, as it is very sweet flavored, and on account of its well-filled pods and unusual prolificness, it is always a very large cropper. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart 50 cts. NEW PERPETUAL.—This is tlie best late variety, on account of its continued bearing, maturing just after the Telephone, and continues growing and branching until cut by frost; thus one can have green peas the whole season, from June to October. It has proved superior to the Everbearing. It requires no bushing ; a wonderful cropper, strong, and robust; foliage attractive; very desirable for family use and worthy of trial for market. Pkt.. 15 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts.
