Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. Burpee's Three Grand New American Peas. BURPEE'S QUANTITY PEA. Immensely productive, BURPEE QUANTITY produces more pods to the vine (more bushels of pods to a given area), and more shelled peas to a bushel of pods, than any other variety, excepting only our new Pea, Burpee's Profusion. The vine grows two and a half to two and three-quarters feet in height, and is of the most remarkable branching character, as many as six main branches or haulms starting directly from the root at the surface of the ground; of very stout growth, the foliage is a healthy green, and the vines are crowded with pods, generally borne in pairs. Under ordinary field cul- ture they averaged fifty pods each, while we have counted as many as ninety pods on a single vine. The pods are three inches long, and contain seven to nine large peas, so closely crowded together that they are flattened on the sides ; the quality is very good! The illustration herewith is exactly natural size, and it will be seen that these compact, well-filled, handsome pods, borne in such wonderful abundance, are much more profitable to grow and will sell much better on market than the long, windy pods, sparingly produced, of certain new English varie- ties lately introduced. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready for eating July 5th, and continued long in bearing. In Quality very fine : while in Quantity, Burpee's Quantity Pea far outyields all the older main crop varieties. Per pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts.; pint 25 cts.; quart 45 cts., )ostpaid. BURPEE'S QUALITY PEA. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready June 28th, about a week earlier than Burpee's Quantity. The plants average two and a half feet high, of robust growth, with fine, dark-green foliage, branching from th
