CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop use a rich deep 

 loam, or inclining to clay is best. When grown in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 

 inches apart; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, and tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing 

 the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; con- 

 tinue for a succession every two weeks until June, then discontinue until the middle of 

 August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts for fall 

 use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled 

 varieties are not as hardy as the small round sort, and if planted early should have a dry 

 soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, the sweetest and best 

 flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forcing; 

 planted in rows one foot apart. 



EXTREMELY EARLY LONG-PODDED ALASKA PEAS. An entirely mw vigorous 

 handsome long-podded, delicious flavored Alaska Pea. Bound to become extremely popu- 

 lar for it has all the good qualities of our Famous Extra Early Alaska Pea, and in addition 

 it has a well filled pod almost twice as long, which will fill the basket in one-half the time; 

 and while it is not a distinctly sugar pea, }'et it has a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. 

 It is an abundant yielder. Being an entirely new introduction, our supply of seed is 

 limited, so place your orders early. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; 

 4 quarts, 85 cents; peck, $1.60; bushel, $6.00. 



WONDERFUL EXTRA EARLY PEAS. This pea has proven itself to be a decided 

 acquisition to the list of peas. It is as early as the Alaska; bears long well filled pods. 

 While not a wrinkled pea, it takes somewhat of the character of them. It can be planted 

 as early cs the Alaska — vines grow stiff and upright. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; peck, 

 $1.60; bushel, $6.00. 



EXTRA EARLY GRADUS PEAS. The very best extra early wrinkled pea ever intro- 

 duced. It produces pods equal in size to the well-known Telephone, quality and produc- 

 tiveness equal to that well-known variety. The vines are of vigorous, robust growth, 

 about 2y 2 feet high, thick stems and luxuriant foliage; it bears large handsome pods, with 

 immense luscious peas, remaining sweet and tender for a long time after they are fit to 

 pick. You cannot afford to be without this pea. Pint, 20 cents; quart, 30 cents; gallon, 

 $1.00; peck, $1.90; bushel, $7.00. 



EXTRA EARLY ALASKA. The earliest of all smooth green peas, having the best color when shelled and the best quality 

 when cooked. The dark green color of the pods makes it extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distinces without losing 

 color, which quality, combined with its earliness and uniformity of ripening, make it one of the best extra early peas for truckers 

 and market gardeners. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 85 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00. 



BOLGIANO'S EXTRA EARLY TRIUMPH PEAS, The earliest of all; uniform and productive. The success of our Extra 

 Early Triumph Peas has been surprising. It has distanced ever}' other early pea. Large truckers have found it to be the best 

 variety, and our large stocks have never been equal to the demand for them. Every progressive grower should have them . 

 Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 75 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.50. 



EXTRA EARLY MORNING STAR PEA. Has been ready for picking in 42 days from the date of planting, which makes it one 

 of the earliest peas in cultivation. It withstands severest changes in weather, pods are perfect and filled, and the entire crop may 

 be gathered for the earliest shipments. Many of our largest customers use this pea, and it gives them satisfaction. Pint, 15 cents; 

 quart, 25 cents; gallon, 75 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.50. 



AMERICAN WONDER. This variety stands unrivaled in point of productiveness, flavor and quality, and is, without exception, 

 the earliest wrinkled pea in cultivation. It is of dwarf and robust habit, growing from 10 to 15 inches high, and produces a 

 profusion of good-sized and well-filled pods of finest flavor. Requires liberal fertilizing. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; 

 gallon, 75 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00. 



PREMIUM GEM. This variety is nearly as early as the American Wonder, and the vine is decidedly larger, growing from 

 12 to 16 inches, and bearing an immense crop of pods, which are larger and invariably filled with peas of best quality. 

 The dry peas are green, large, 

 bushel, $5.00.
