Packed; Nine in a Pod.

This new variety of large podded, handsome Table Pea, introduced by us,
jumped at a bound into instantaneous favor all over the United States.
The plants stand from three and a half feet to four feed high, and bear
large, long pods, mostly in pairs, which are packed remarkably close with
flattened, greenish-white, wrinkled peas, and these, when cooked, are of
the finest flavor and color. The weight of the Pea compared to the pod
is much greater than usual, producing more shelled peas than any other
variety.
In season it follows Little Gem and comes before Champion of England.
Both for the market and family garden this Pea will be found of the
highest merit.
Everybody is charmed with this variety, and whether for private use or
marketing, a liberal quantity should be planted.
=Price, per packet 10 cents; per pint 30 cents; per quart 50 cents.=
Vick’s Pea, King of the Dwarfs.
This new seedling, introduced by us, in season follows closely McLean’s
Little Gem, coming into market in the space intervening between the early
and the late varieties. The vines are sturdy and remarkably vigorous,
growing about two inches taller than the Little Gem, and bearing a
profusion of pods and Peas in the pod, with all of the principal dwarf
varieties, including the American Wonder, we find that the King of the
Dwarfs outyields them all by 20 per cent., all planted at the same time,
on the same soil, with equal cultivation.
It is a cross between American Wonder and McLean’s Little Gem, and is the
most promising of forty different seedlings. In flavor it is unsurpassed.
=Price, per packet 15 cents; per pint 75 cents; per quart $1.25.=
