. Eastman's annual seed catalogue. Nursery stock Maine East Sumner Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. EASTMAN'S ANNUAL SEED CATALOGUE. 7 Giant Scimetar String Pea. THIS MAMMOTH podded pea would deserve a place in every garden as a curiosity were it not also deserving of a place on the table as one of the daintiest delicacies the garden affords. The pods, broken up and cooked like string beans, form a dish that many prefer to either beans or shelled peas, while others think them too rich to be eaten alone, and prefer a few pods only, mixed with ordinary shelled peas, to add richness and flavor. Many of the pods are curiously curled and twisted as shown in the engraving and often grow from five to six inches in length. One customer reports pods seven and three-fourths inches long. Height four feet and upwards. Price 50 cts. per qt.; 10 cts. per pkt. Introduced by us in 1890. Fillbasket 'yHIS WONDERFUL POTATO has more than established all our claims * for it. It takes the front rank in productiveness, vigor of growth and eating qualities, only yielding the lead to other varieties in earliness. Yet it is earlier than its appearance would indicate, the tubers being of excellent quality—dry, fine grained and mealy—while the tops are still rank and green. Oblong in form, somewhat flattened, white skinned, usually fair and smooth, it is admirably adapted for an "all round" main crop potato, either for home use or market. Per lb. 25 cts.; tuber 10 cts.
