PEAS 



Extra Early A'arieties — Continued. 



*IjITTLE MAKVEIi — 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 of peas furnished. The pods are of a rich, darli green color, 

 filled to the ends with large peas of fine fiavor. The vines are strong and robust, 

 18 inches in height, heavily set with pods, often produced in pairs. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 

 20c (by mail 30c); 5 lbs. 85c; 10 lbs. $1.60; 50 lbs. $7.35. 



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

 of the seed can be planted fully two weeks earlier than that tine 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; 1 lb. 25c (by mail 35c); 

 5 lbs. 95c; 10 lbs. $1.75; 50 lbs. $8.00.
