Succession" GoiieGiion of Four Best Dwarf Peas...
THE varieties comprising this collection liave been selected by
us as the best of the dwarf wrinliled Peas from the Extra Early,
Earlj', Medium and Late maturing sections. None of them
requires to be " brushed " or grown on trellis, and, in consequence,
are particularly adapted for gardens where it is inconvenient to pro-
cure such supports. If sown at one time, and conditions are favor-
able, the first picking for the table can be made in from 5 to 6
weeks, and successive pickings from the 4 sorts will supply the
table with luscious peas for several weeks after the first picking.
^J- NOTT^S EXCELSIOR. ^^
THE MOST VALUABLE OF ALL DWARF EARLY WRINKLED PEAS.
SURPASSING IN EARLINESS, YIELD AND QUALITY.
This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready for table
in -10 to 45 days from planting, only a few days later than the early
round sorts. It grows about 14 inches high, or about half as tall
again as the American Wonder. It is of vigorous constitution, and
wonderfully productive. (See cut.) 10c. per i^ pt., 20c. pt.,
30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel.
e^^ McLEAN^S ADVANCER. .^^
A second early variety, attaining a height of 2'^ feet, a great
favorite with growers in this neighborhood, among whom it is often
known as the Dwarf Champion. It is a green wrinkled variety of
fine flavor. (See citi.) 10 c. per 3^ pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.25
peck, $4.00 busbeL
^^ CHELSEA. .^^
It grows about l.'j inches in height and is of compact, short-jointed
habit, thus requiring no brushing or staking. The pods are re-
markably handsome, being gracefully curved and much longer than
any other early dwarf kind. They are well filled, each containing
8 to 10 good-sized peas of exquisite quality, which, when cooked,
are rich, sugary, and of marrow-like flavor. .See. cwt.) 10c. per
.i pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel.
A DWARF MAIN CROP WRINKLED MARROW PEA.
ENORMOUSLY PROLIFIC, SUPERB FLAVOR.
We have now had several years' acquaintance with "Juno" Pea,
and every year wo esteem it more highly. It is a main crop variety,
of vigorous constitution, which shows itself in the strong, hand-
some, branching plant. It is 2 feet in height, requiring little or no
brushing. It produces an abundance of the finest peas possible,
the vines being actually laden with pods. These are stout and
heavy in form, very little curved, dark green, usually growing in
pairs, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the finest quality, which so
thoroughly fill the pod as to make it almost cylindrical in shape.
The peas, too, possess the admirable merit of preserving their
tenderness and superb flavor long after they are 3'oung, and also
retain their attractive dark green color when served at table. (Sec
cut.) 10c. per 1.; pt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel.
