THE QUEEN*. NEW PEA "QUEEN." This is a grand new variety of Eng- lish origin which has proved itself worthy of more general introduction. It can be classed as an Improved Stratagem. It is a green, wrinkled, main crop variety growing to about two to two and one-half feet in height. The pods are very large, slightly curved, pro- duced mostly in pairs, and all over the vine from bottom to top. The peas are large, oval, deep green, and of a delicious flavor when cooked. They are so packed in the pods that when opened it would almost seem impossi- ble that they could be contained in the pod. The vines are very sturdy, and being of a branching habit, this variety can be sown more thinly than most varieties. Its season is just right to succeed the Heroine, as it con.es into bearing when that splendid variety is about finished. Price, per quart, 30 cents; peck, $1.75 ; bushel, $6.50. Nott's Excelsior Pea. The King among Dwarf Varieties. Since we offered this five years ago, in original packets, from Mr. Nott, it has ivon for itself a place in every seed catalogue in the country. Surely it has come to stay. In earliness it equals American ^Yonder; in height it is half way between American Wonder and Premium Gem; in quality equal to Premium Gem, and as a cropper it excels either. In a comparative test, with above side by side, under conditions exactly alike, the. Nott's Excelsior yielded one-quarter more pods by measure, and by weight one-third more, which shows conclusively that the pods of Nott's Excelsior are more compactly filled with peas. Last season this Pea sold at very high prices, but we have not heard of a single gardener who regretted his purchase. This year the price is more reasonable, and we predict that it will be extensively planted and with great profit. Price per quart, 30 cents • Peck, $2.00; Bushel, $7.00,
