Owing to the impossibility of having a continued crop of Peas throughout the summer (from July to October), it is our aim to introduce a class of Peas of the wrinkled type, which possess quality, quantity and earliness, thereby enabling at least three plantings of Peas which have no equals.

We, therefore, feel confident that we have a class of Peas embraced in those offered here that will surely meet all requirements, as they are not novelties because distinct from types already cata- logued, but are the best yet offered, and are far ahead of any class of Peas ever tried.
