This is claimed to be the finest dwarf wrinkled
pea grown,and it certainly is deserving of very
strong praise. Its habit of growth is like the
Pride of the Market, growmg to a height of two
feet, and the strong, sturdy haulm is literally
covered with immense pods. Many of the pods
measure nearly 5% inches in length. and contain
as high as ten large, fine flavored wrinkled peas.
Stratagem is a most prolific variety, and the pods
are always well filled. In table quality. none can
surpass it. Pkt., 15 cts.; pt 45 cts.; qt., 80 cts.

Stratagem

From the Rural New Yorker: "STRATAGEM".
"A remarkable variety. Vines are very strong, and
needing but a slight support. Twenty pods to a
vine, The vine branches just under the surface
of the soil, two stems, generally of equal vigor,
growing to a height of 2 to 2 1/2 feet. The pods are
generally borne singly.

"On July 11th, 200 pods weighed 80 ounces, contained
1420 seeds, which weighed 42 ounces. The
quality is excellent. It will be seen that this is
the most prolific of all. and gives the greatest
number and weight of seeds to a pod, as well as
the largest pods. " Pkt., 15 cts,; pt.,50 cts.; qt., 80

NEW PEA,
PRIDE OF
THE
MARKET.

The famous new
English Pea, introduced
for first time
one year ago, has
given such great
satistaction that we
were entirely unable
to supply the
demand for the
seed last season.
We have, however,
harvested a larger
crop this year, and
hope to have sufficient
for all demands
It grows
from eighteen in.
to two feet hlgh
and bears grand
pods, well filled
with large and fine
flavored peas, from
top to bottom of the
haulm. Its robust
constitution, enormous
productiveness and superior
appearance, ensures
its acceptance
as a market favorite
with the public.
The following is
an extract from
The Gardener's Magazine. of August
13,1881: "They are
certainly the most
useful to amateurs
not overburdened
with space, and
market growe rs
who cannot well
employ supports,
for they require no
sticks, and are quite unequalled in productiveness.
They have a robust free-branching habit,
and attain a height ranging from 18 to 24 inches,
according to the weather and the soil, and are
immensely productive. They are, indeed, such
heavy croppers that I know of no peas from which
so large a bulk of produce can be obtained from
a given space; indeed, no such varieties exist.

Their productiveness is by no means their only
recommendation, for the pods are so large in size,
and handsome in appearance, that they take high
rank for exhibition purppses. and the peas when
on the table, are of so splendid a quality that it
would be difficult to over-praise them." Pkt., 5
cts,; pt., 40 cts.; qt., 75 cts.; by mail, postpaid.

Lane's Imperial Sugar Beet. The result
of several years' careful selections from the above;
