Alderman
This is in many respects the very best early main crop variety of the valuable Telephone type. The vines are tall growing, about 4 ½ to 5 feet high, dark green, vigorous and exceedingly productive. The pods of largest size often 5 to 5 ½ inches long, dark green, similar to but a little larger and a shade darker in color than those of Duke of Albany and about the same in season. The peas are of largest size and unsurpassed in quality. Market gardeners are demanding the large podded, dark colored sorts which retain their fine appearance even after shipping a long distance. The Alderman answers these requirements and we recommend it unreservedly.

Champion of England
Universally admitted to be one of the best late peas grown. Of delicious flavor, and a very profuse bearer. Desirable for home use and especially recommended for market gardeners and for the home market. Very much superior in flavor and table qualities to the Marrowfat Peas.

Dwarf Gray Seeded Purple Blossom
75 days. Height of vine about 24 to 30 inches. Of the same habits as Dwarf White, only producing peas of a gray mottled appearance and having purple blossoms as the name signifies. The pods are eaten like snap beans.

75 days. Height of vine about 24 to 30 inches. Very productive. Pods 2 ½ inches in length, well filled with 6 to 7 peas. Blossoms white. Dry seed is creamy white.

Everbearing
Vine stout, about 2 ½ feet high, bearing at the top 6 to 10 broad pods. If these are picked as they mature, and the season and soil are favorable, the plant will throw out branches bearing pods which will mature in succession, thus prolonging the season. Peas are very large and wrinkled, cook quickly, are tender, of superior flavor and preferred by many to any other sort.

Improved Stratagem
Vines of strong growth with large foliage, but only 18 inches in height and do not need any support. Pods of large size, well filled with large dark-green peas of rich, sweet flavor. One of the very best.

Mammoth Luscious Sugar
80 days. Height of vine about 60 inches. Very similar in character to the Mammoth Melting Sugar, seeds gray mottled, blossoms purple. Pods almost identical to Mammoth Melting and eaten like a snap bean.

Marrowfat Peas
Planted in December or January and come in directly after extra early varieties planted in the spring, and yield a most satisfactory and profitable crop. The Marrowfat Peas are hardier than the extra earlies.

Telephone
A grand wrinkled Pea, undoubtedly the best of the tall-growing sorts. Vines reach a height of 4 ft. It is a second early or medium variety, robust in habit and a wonderful producer. The pods are of largest size and remarkably handsome in appearance. They contain eight or 10 peas each, which are invariably plump, a pleasing pale green in color, and of a delightful sugary flavor, not surpassed by any other. Telephone is not only a perfect variety for the family garden, but is rapidly gaining favor with market gardeners, the strongest evidence of its sterling merits. It is certainly admirably adapted to market purposes on account of its size, productiveness and good looks, and is always sure to sell at good prices.

White Marrowfat
Cultivated quite extensively for canning. Vines about 5 feet high and of strong growth. Pods large, cylindrical, rough, light colored and well filled; seed, large, smooth, round and light yellow. It is excellent for summer use, but inferior in quality to most of the newer sorts, although undoubtedly one of the most productive of the garden varieties.
