*NEW EXTRA EARLY PEA. "VELOCITY." 



This, we believe, is the earliest Pea in exist- 

 ence. The vines grow about 2 feet high, and 

 are very productive; the Peas being very 

 uniform in size. For the early market this 

 new Pea cannot be overestimated.

Thomas Laxton — A Wrinkled 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 con- 

 tain on the average 7 to 8 very large marrow Peas cf the richest flavor. We 

 consider it superior to "Gradus," being hardier in constitution and a better 

 yielder. Pkt. 10c; pint 25c; quart 45c; V 2 peck $1.50; peck $2.85; bushel $11.00

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. Dis- 

 continue 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 bush- 

 els to an acre in drills. 



N. B. — The Pea crops everywhere 

 in this country and in England were 

 last season almost total failures. In 

 many cases scarcely more than the 

 sowing was harvested. Tremendous 

 prices prevail throughout the coun- 

 try this spring as a result, and much 

 inferior seed is on the market. We 

 have only a very limited sup- 

 ply of seed, but what we do 

 have is good, and our prices 

 have been kept down below 

 the level of legitimate profit.

CURRIE'S EXTRA EARLY 



CHALLENGE. 



No extra early Pea has ever 

 given the universal satisfac- 

 tion 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 

 filled with round Peas of fine 

 flavor. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c;

 rior quality. The vines grow 

 about 2% feet and produce 

 abundantly. Pkt. 10c; pint
