BY PROPERLY SELECTING the different varieties of Peas you can readily have luscious, fresh green Peas from the 

 earliest Spring to ihe Summer and Fall montlis; ask us, or write us, and we will recommend the proper kinds. Is It 

 possible to find a person who does not take pleasure in feasting on the delicious new green Peas, especially if they are 

 from their own garden, and picked fresh fox' each meal? For home use we especially recommend/the wrinkled varieties. 



OLGIANO'S EXTRA EARLY 

 ALASKA PEAS. 



w 



OR FIRST OP ALL. 



■ E have taken extra pains to make 

 our stock of this most valuable 

 Pea exceptionally superior. By 

 careful selection, thoroughly rogueing, 

 we have developed a stock of this 

 smooth, blue Pea which in evenness of 

 growth of vine and early maturity of 

 pods is unequaled by any other blue- 

 seeded extra early Pea. The 

 vines are about 2^ feet high, 

 not branching, but bear 4 to 7 

 long pods, which are filled with 

 medium-sized, beautiful, bright 

 green, smooth Peas of excel- 

 lent flavor. The dark green 

 color of the pods makes it ex- 

 ceptionally desirable as a ship- 

 per, for it can be carried long 

 distances without losing its 

 color, which quality, combined 

 with its earliness, uniformity 

 of ripening and luscious flavor, 

 niakes it of the highest value 

 to market gardeners, truck- 

 ers and canners. We annu- 

 ally grow and sell thousands 

 of bushels which give the 

 beet satisfaction.

olgiano's Extra Early 

 Triumph Peas. 



FOR years we have placed 

 this wonderfully productive 

 Pea in the hands of the 

 market gardener and large 

 truckers; it has never disap- 

 pointed them, but always sus- 

 tained its thoroughly estab- 

 lished reputation as being the 

 earliest, MOST PRODUCTIVE 

 and most salable Pea brought 

 to the market, always com- 

 manding tip-top prices, and 

 never running any seconds, as 

 ordinary stocks usually do. IT 

 IS MOS^ IMPORTANT to the 

 grower to meet the earliest 

 markets with a good crop of 

 choice Peas whose large-sized 

 pods are well filled and attrac- 

 tive. The young Peas have a 

 sweet, luscious flavor, which 

 makes them especially valua- 

 ble to the retail market gar- 

 dener. To grow in the South 

 for shipment to Northern mar- 

 kets, it has no equal. If you

 season it will be ready for market in 42 days, and the entire 

 crop generally gathered in one picking. This is a decided ad- 

 vantage, as the pickers usually leave the vines in a very 

 weakened condition, and a Pea which requires two pickings 

 cannot mature its second crop equal to the first, for the 

 injured vines are unable to supply sufficient nourishment to 

 properly fill out the pods. Pkt., 5c. Pt., 15c. Qt., 25c.

PEAS mature earliest m a light, rich soil. For general crop 

 a rich deep loam, or inclining to clay, is the best. When 

 grown in gardens sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; 

 the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Com- 

 mence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground 

 can be worked in February or March; continue for a succes- 

 sion every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the 

 middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sow- 

 ing the extra early and early sorts for Fall use. They should 

 be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth.
