PEAS.

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 

 Peas 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.

 CXJRRIE'S EXTRA EARLY CHALLENGE. 



No extra early Pea has ever given the universal satisfaction that 

 this one has. Grown alongside other extra early varieties the 

 Challenge not only proved earlier, but much more productive. 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 rilled with 

 round Peas of fine flavor. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 35c; y 2 peck $1.15; 

 peck $2.10; bushel $8.00

•SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR or Melting Marrow — A new, early wrinkled

 Excelsior. Its light-green square-ended pods are long and broad 

 and 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 monstrous pods in great abundance and are 

 practically self-supporting. Peas remarkably sweet and tender.

* LITTLE MARVEL — For 



many years Nott's Excel- 

 sior has ranked as the 

 very best of the Dwarf

 garden or for market 

 sales. In Little Marvel, 

 however, we have a sort 

 far superior in size, color 

 of pods and quantity and 

 quality of Peas furnished.

 dark green color filled to 

 the ends with large sized 

 Peas of fine flavor. The 

 vines are strong and ro- 

 bust, 18 inches in height, 

 heavily set with pods 

 often produced in pairs.

 vance on any of the

 come very popular both 

 with home and market 

 growers. Pkt. 10c; pint
