 of enormous pods and continue bearing for a long time. Pods average five to six 

 inches in length and one and a-half inches broad, thick and fleshy. Broken and 

 boiled like string beans and served with butter sauce. They have a luscious 

 flavor. Qt., 30c.

Our Seed Peas are of the best quality obtainable, being- all grown far North, 

 thoroughly cleaned and carefully hand-picked. They are raised from thejfinest selected 

 strains, and the growing crops are rogued to remove all runners and improper types of 

 growth. The Extra Early varieties are very hardy, and will endure a great amount of 

 cold ; should be planted as soon as the ground can be got ready— the sooner the better, 

 Of late years some gardeners make a sowing of Extra Earlies late in the fall, seed lying 

 dormant in the soil all winter and germinating very early in the spring. The larger 

 wrinkled varieties are not nearly as hardy, and the seed is apt to rot instead of germinat- 

 ing if planted before the soil becomes slightly warmer on the advance of spring. 



For private use sow in double rows, eighteen inches apart, and three inches apart 

 in the rows. For market, in single rows one inch apart and three inches deep, and the 

 rows from two to three feet apart. 



Extra Early Alaska. — The earliest Pea known, very uniform in 

 growth and ripening; 90 per cent, of the pods can be gathered at the first pick- 

 ing. The dark green color of the pods makes it extremely desirable, as it can 

 be carried long distances without losing color, grows two feet high, of the verv 

 finest quality. Qt., 15c.; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.35. 



Kural New Yorker. — Height two and a half feet, seed white, slightly 

 dented, of vigorous habit, vine sending out two or more lateral branches. The 

 earliest Pea known to the trade except Alaska. Pods of fine shape, larger and 

 better than any other extra early, containing from six to nine peas of fine 

 quality, very uniform in growth and ripening. Qt., 15c.; peck., 75c.; bush., $3.50.
