PEAS. 



Extra Early "Varieties — Continued. 



'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 produced 

 in pairs. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 35c; y 2 peck $1.15; peck $2.15; bushel $8.00. 



PILOT — A selection from Gradus, but smooth seeded, and on account of the char- 

 acter of the seed can be planted fully two weeks earlier than that fine variety. 

 As the growing period is the same as that of Gradus it can, if planted early, be 

 put on the market at the same time as the extra-earlies such as Alaska and 

 Challenge, thus commanding top prices. It is large podded and heavy yielding 

 like Gradus, and is fast becoming a leading commercial sort. Pkt. 10c; pint 25c; 

 quart 40c; % peck $1.30; peck $2.45; bushel $9.00.

 and produce abundantly. Pkt. 10c; pint 15c; quart 25c; % peck 90c; peck 

 $1.70; bushel $6.50.
