peas. 1t comes mid-season, perhaps
midway between Bliss everbearing and
champion of England. 1t requires only
about one-half the labor in picking de-
manded by many other varieties. The
plant is remarkably bushy, not over
eighteen inches high and entirely self
supporting, stem stout and stocky and
leaves large and healthy
The branch shown in the accompany
ing cut was sketched on the Popular
Gardening grounds, where, in addition
to the stratagem, the newer introduc-
tions of garden (wrinkled) peas, among
them Telephone, Yorkshire Hero and
American Champion, have proved en-
tirely reliable, and also OF highest
quality. The foregoing has been pre-
sented with view to assisting readers
in selection Of seed for another season.

a BORN ECONOMIST.

Our little Bess has been brought up
In n menage that's modest;
And yet she does indulge in flights
OF fancy just the oldest.
Mamma, Of course, has taught the tot
Ideas economic;
But Bess applies them in way
That's ofttimes truly comic.
One summer eve when Venus shone
While still the daylight dallied,
A queen altho' the suns fierce kiss
Had left her slightly palhd.
We saw that, tho the rest all gazed
Aloft in admiration,
Bess' dainty little features wore
A look of depreciation.

For fondling arm, warm breast and life's swee

What dost thou to thy mother make returns
Some madcap girl can win thee from her side,
Few tears at best hast thou above her urn.
Only to Earth, thy mother, art thou just;
To her thou givest all within thy power;
Thy life, thy breath, thy seIf-a pinch Of dust,
To star her bosom with a summer flower.
