For first early Peas sow in a light, rich soil, as early in March or 
April as the ground can be worked; for later varieties, sow in April 
or May. Discontinue sowing from June to August, after which, by 
sowing an extra early sort, a good crop can generally be secured. As 
Peus suffer considerably from drought during the hot summer months, 
it will be found of great benefit to sow in a trench six inches in depth, 
covering the Peas to a depth of two inches. As soon as sufficient 
growth has been made, draw the earth about the vines. In this way 
more moisture is kept about the roots than if sown on the level. The 
wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the smooth sorts, and should 
be planted later, owing to their liability to rot in the ground. 
One quart to 100 feet of drill. Two bushels to an acre in drills.

CURRIE’S EXTRA EARLY CHALLENGE. 
No extra early Pea has ever given the universal satisfaction that 
this one has. It is an enormous bearer and very early. The vines may 
be cleared off in two pickings and the ground prepared for another crop 
before other early varieties come into use. The pods are large and 
well filled with round peas of fine flavor. Pkt. 10c; pint 15c; quart 30c; 
Y% peck $1.00; peck $1.85; bushel $7.00. 
Alaska—Extra early of superior quality. The vines grow about 2% 
feet and produce abundantly. Pkt. 10c; pint 15c; quart 30c; % peck 
$1.00; peck $1.85; bushel $7.00. 
*SUTTON’S EXCELSIOR or Melting Marrow—A new, early wrinkled 
sort much like but much larger than, and superior to the old Nott’s 
Excelsior. Its lightgreen, square-ended pods, long and broad, are 
uniformly well filled, averaging six to eight immense, rich green, 
delicious peas. The vines grow about 15 inches in height, are very 
hardy, bear in great abundance and are practically self-supporting. 
Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 35c; % peck $1.15; peck $2.10; bushel $7.75. 
*SUTTON’S PIONEER—An exceptionally meritorious first-early dwarf, 
wrinkled Pea. The unusually sturdy vines, 12 to 16 inches in height, 
carry an immense crop of very large, pointed, slightly curved pods, 
well filled with 8 to 9 rich green peas. Ranks well with Laxtonian, 
by many considered superior. Foliage dark green. Pkt. 15c; pint 
25e; quart 45c; % peck $1.50; peck $2.75; bushel $10.50.

*LITTLE MARVEL—For many years Nott’s Excelsior has ranked as 
the very best of the 
Dwarf Peas. In Little 
Marvel, however, we 
have a sort far superior 
in size, color of pods and 
quantity and quality of 
peas furnished. The pods 
are of a rich dark green 
color filled to the ends 
with large peas of fine 
flavor. The vines are 
strong and robust, 18 
inches in height, heavily 
set with pods, often pro- 
duced in pairs. Pkt. 10c; 
pint 20c; quart 35c; % 
peck $1.20; peck $2.25; 
bushel $8.50. 
*Thomas Laxton—A_ Wrin- 
kled Pea, coming in with 
the First Earlies with 
pods double the size. In 
earliness it is within a 
day or two of ‘‘Challenge 
Extra Early.” The pods 
are rich dark_ green, 
straight and square 
ended, and contain on the 
average 7 to 8 very large 
marrow peas of the richest flavor. We consider it superior to “Gradus,” 
being hardier in constitution and a better yielder. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 
85c; % peck $1.20; peck $2.25; bushel $8.50. 
*Nott’s Excelsior—One of the best Extra Early Dwarf Wrinkled Peas. The vines 
are vigorous and very prolific, while the pods are closely packed with large 
peas of very fine flavor; 1 foot, Pkt. 10c; pint 20¢c; quart 35c; % peck $1.10; 
peck $2.00; bushel $7.50. 
*American Wonder—One of the earliest Wrinkled Peas of the finest quality and 
flavor, and very productive. Its great distinctive feature, however, is its com- 
pact and dwarf growth, seldom exceeding 10 inches in height. Pkt. 10c; pint 
20e; quart 35¢c; % peck $1.10; peck $2.00; bushel $7.50.

provement; 1% feet. Pkt. 10c; pint 15c; quart 30c; % peck $1.00; peck $1.85; 
bushel $7.00.
