PEA
KINO EDWARD VII.
Extra Early
'Manxman" Ruta
Baga Turnip.
A grand dwarf new early Pea of extraordinary productiveness. The
pods are in pairs, resemble Stratagem in color and size, long, slightly
curved, rich dark green, and are remarkably well filled with 8 to 10
very large, deliciously flavored peas. We consider this one of the finest
dwarf early peas, and the best yet introduced. Per pkt. (about 1 gill), 25c.;
per pint, $1.00; per qt. $1.50.
Perfection Sayoy
Combines the best points of
older varieties, but surpasses
them all in degree of excellence. The heads are of medium size, and mature rather
early. So beautiful are the
leaves embossed that the
plants are distinctly ornamental.
