American Wonder Pea
This new American Pea originated in Canada and is the result of a cross between the Champion of England and Little Gem. It is of excellent flavor and of great productiveness, being as early or earlier than any other of the wrinkled varieties. After a trial of three years I am ready to endorse it as being a very early pea, a superior cropper bearing larger pods and peas than any of the early kinds. Fifteen pods have been counted on some vines, and nine large peas in some of the pods. The vine grows from six to twelve inches high, according to the soil and season. My seed was obtained from the original introducer. Pkt., 10c; pt., 40c; qt., 80c, by mail, postpaid. Bus., $7.50

Bliss' Abundance Pea
A new wrinkled variety, about a week later than the American Wonder, bearing large, well-filled pods, containing about seven peas each. Plant grows to from fifteen to twenty inches in height. Of excellent quality and immensely productive. As it is of a branching habit it is well to sow the seed thinner than usual, about six inches apart. A first-class family pea. Pkt., 15c; qt., postpaid, $1.30; peck per express, $5.00; bus., $19.00

Bliss' Everbearing Pea
A new wrinkled late pea, growing about 2 feet high, a stocky grower with abundant large foliage. It is a remarkably heavy bearer of large pods well-filled with extra large peas of a delicious flavor, some of them measuring one and three-quarters inches in circumference. One of its strongest recommendations is the length of time it continues in bearing, yielding a number of pickings, a very desirable trait for the family garden. To get the best result, plant the peas about six inches apart. Pkt., 15c; oz., $1.30; ¼ lb., $1.00

Carter's Pride of the Market
Says the “Gardener's magazine” in speaking of this and the Strategem - “Both peas have a robust habit and are immensely productive.” they are indeed such heavy croppers that I know no peas from which so large a bulk of produce can be obtained from a given space. The vines are very vigorous; growing about 2 feet in height. It will give satisfaction in our American gardens. Pkt., 10c; qt., postpaid, 75c; bus., $10.00

Dwarf Champion of England
This pea has become very popular with the market gardeners of Long Island. Probably it has not, all things considered, its equal in the country as a second early, having where grown completely superseded the Black-eye. It is so healthy and vigorous that it is sown on Long Island as a second crop about Aug. 1st, being the first large, late wrinkled pea that when so sown has proved to be comparatively free from mildew. It is considered the heaviest cropper grown on Long Island. In quality it is so rich and sweet and the peas so large it is said to bring on an average fifty per cent. More in the market than the average sorts. It resembles Yorkshire Hero, but on my trial grounds I found it to be earlier and larger podded. Pkt., 15c.

I find no pea earlier than this nor any of the earliest that is a better cropper. It is a sport from early Dexter. It ripens so evenly that the crop can be gathered at a single picking. Pods good size and well filled. 24 to 30 inches high. Pkt., 10c.

Horsford's Market Garden Pea
A new pea of the wrinkled class. A cross between Alpha and American Wonder, growing about as tall again as the latter. It is very prolific, bearing its pods in pairs. Each vine throws out many laterals and Mr. Horsford says 150 pods have been counted on a single plant. It ripens about with Advancer. Quality excellent. On trial it did so well it was selected by editor of Rural New Yorker as one of special merit for free distribution. 5 pkt., $1.00; pkt., 25c.

John Bull
A new wrinkled pea which proves to be remarkable for the large size of the individual peas and for the length of pods. Grows three feet high, with vine and leaf exceptionally stout. There is no better late pea grown. An acquisition. It has a peculiarity that I have not observed in any other variety of pea; the pods of the second setting are much larger and better filled than those that set first some of them having 10 or 11 very large peas to a pod. The pods of no English variety fill out better than John Bull, while most of the large podded sorts prove defective in this particular. Pkt., 15c; qt., postpaid, 75c; bus., $10.00

Minimum Pea
This new seedling, of Mr. Laxton, tested on my own grounds on a somewhat large scale I find it as described, the most dwarf of all varieties, growing to the height of about six inches. It is as early as that very early pea, the Tom Thumb. The pods are not as large as Tom Thumb ( which is the objectionable trait), but in yield it far surpasses that variety or indeed any dwarf sort, not only in number of pods, but in weight of peas. One I planted May 25 was ready for table July 12. As a remarkably early, exceptionally dwarf, and unexceptionally prolific variety, the Minimum deserves a place in the family garden. Pkt., 10c; qt., post paid, 80c.
