10 JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA THE MARKET MASTER A New fledium and Late Pea After testing this grand new English pea on our trial grounds for two seasons, we were absolutely certain of its decided merit in introducing it last season, and believe we have the honor of being the first American seedsmen to bring this valuable novelty to this side of the Atlantic. The vine is very hardy, growing vigorously to a height of about two feet, unusually prolific. Handsome pods, growing uniformly to larger size than any medium early or late pea we have ever seen, and filled with eight to nine very large, sweet and delicious peas. We have received many letters from market gardeners who gave it a trial last season, and are sorry we have not room to publish them. One writes : " I am sure Market Master is the best pea the world has ever seen;" another says: "The Market Master created a furore in our market. " If you want to keep abreast with the times in gardening, you must plant the Market Master. Pkt., 10c; pint, 30c; qt., 55c, postpaid. Bv express, qt., 40c; 2 qts., 75c; peck, $2.50; bush., $9.00.

New Mammoth Podded Prolific Sugar Pea, slightly less thrtii natural size, as both pods measured over five inches. the new market master pea. Pods Natural Size. New Mammoth Podded Prolific Sugar Pea Largest and Best of the Edible Podded Sorts A new and superior edible podded or 11 snap " pea, and the best yet. In all of our experience we have never seen anything in the line of sugar peas that would equal this variety in enormous pods (see illustration), productiveness and fine quality. The pods are larger, broader and more melting than the Melting Sugar, and it is equally as early. The peas are drab-colored when ripe, extra large and wrinkled. The pods are very fleshy, and equal to the best snap beans for cook- ing, pod and all. The vines average about three feet high ; when grown without trellis or brushing they are strong and rank. The fact that it is such a bountiful producer ought to bring it rapidly in general favor, especially as the great improvement in size of pod and yielding qualities is not at the expense of eating quality. Pkt., 10c; pint, 40c; qt, 75c, by mail. Qt., 60c; peck, $3.50, by express. NOVELTIES FREE FOR TRIAL "We have a number of distinct novelties not yet catalogued by any seedsmen, and which we propose to introduce in 1902, and shall be glad to include one or more packets in orders over $1.00, where an interest in new varieties is indicated.
