LANDRETHS ^ EXTRA EARLY PEAS 



All who plant early Peas should procure our stock, which we intro- 

 duced in the year 1823, and have to-day in their original purity. This 

 special type or breed is the earliest, the purest, the most productive, 

 the most palatahle. In our trial grounds the past season we tested 126 

 samples of Peas from various sources. LANDRETH'S KXTRA 

 EARLY were the first to hlooin and the first to ripen for the table.
