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 discontinuing 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 va- 

 rieties 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 

 new vigorous handsome long-podded, delicious flavored Alaska Pea. Bound 

 to become extremely popular 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, yet 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 order 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 as 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 introduced. It produces pods equal in size to the well-known Tele- 

 phone, quality and productiveness equal to that well-known variety. The 

 vines are of vigorous, robust growth, about 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. A prominent shipper of this city 

 stated that he could not supply the demand to the northern cities. Pint, 15 

 cents; quart, 30 cents; gallon, 80 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $6.00.

quality vvhen cooked. The dark green color of the pods makes it extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distances 

 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.

 gives them satisfaction. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 20 cents; gallon, 60 cents; peck, $1.00; bushel, $4.00.

 quart, 25 cents; gallon, 65 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00.
