Nott's Excelsicr. (Postage isc per quart extra. NOTT'S EXCELSIOR. Robust and vigorous in growth, incline*1' to throw out laterals from the base of the stock, producing in profusion long handsome pods, closely packed with large peas of fine flavor. An improvement on American Wonder, being more vigorous and prolific with larger pods with more peas than either the Wonder or Premium Gem. A decided acquisition and sure to be very popular when gener- ally known. The genuine stock of this pea is very limited and it will be some time before it can come into general use. Seed green, wrinkled, square at the ends like American Wonder. Height twelve inches. Pkt. 5c, qt. 20c., M bu. $1.50. TOM THUMB. This variety was introduced thirty years ago.

It is a good yielder and produces pods of good size and dark green color, which are well filled with round, smooth peas of splendid flavor. Height rwo feet. The color of the dried pea is green.

This stands at the head of the firs- early sorts. It is unsurpassed in extra earliness. productiveness an< freedom from runners; it grows from eighteen inches to two feet iii^h and will mature for table forty-five days from germination, frequent!' in less time; it takes but two pickings to strip the vines. It is the besi extra early for market gardeners. Pkt. 5c, qt. 20c, H bu. $1. RURAL NEW YORKER. It Is the earliest, most even in growth and maturity of any pea ever introduced. Is wonderfully nrodurtire, presenting the appearance of being stocked in the large, beautiful I v shaped, and well-filled pod, it bears eighty or ninety per cent, of which can be removed at one picking. Its hardy character enables it to suc- cessfully withstand unfavorable weather, to which peas of a weaker nature would sucaumb. Its table qualities are superb. Cannot but prove the market-garden pea. Pkt. 5c, qt. 20c. H bu. $1.25. AMERICAN WONDER. This pea is a hybrid of fixed habit, be- tween the Champion of England and the Little Gem; it possesses the merits of both, with some additional claims to notice. The vine grows eight to tea inches high, and is very prolific in pods of striking form and size. In maturity it is among the first earliest, ripening in about fifty days from germination. It is absolutely the first early among the green wrinkled sorts. Its habit is so dwarf that it can be very suc- cessfully ^rown under glass. Pkt. 5c, qt. 20c, H bu. $1.25. MCLEAN'S LITTLE GEM. An admirably second early, maturing for the table in fifty-four days after germination; height fourteen inches; self supporting and prolific For family use, distinct from t,he market garden, we commend this pea. Dwarf in habit, it needs no support, yields freely, and is luscious beyond most others. It is amon§j the early sorts, and may be planted simultaneously with Our First and Best as a succession.
