Our Seed Peas are of the best quality obtainable, being all grown far North, 
thoroughly cleaned and carefully hand-picked. They are raised from finest 
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 ger- 
minating 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. 
Mixtra 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 very 
finest quality. Quart, l5c.; peck, 70c.; bush., $2.50. 
—. New Pedigree Extra Early.—Largest podded of 
all Extra Early. A number of new Extra Earlies have been 
advertised each successive season under various names and 
claims, but after a fair trial always found them to be nothing 
more than a variety which possibly had been on the market 
for nearly a quarter century with new names attached, until 
our attention was called to the Pedigree Extra Early by Mr. 
Keeny, the well-known Pea expert, and by giving it a trial 
and comparison last season with First and Best, Triumph, 
and other Extra Earlies, we found the pods longer, a greater | 
nuimber of peas in the pod and more pods to the vine; it is 
ready for market two days later than First and Best and 
four days later than Alaska. We do not hesitate/in saying 
it will yield 20 to 40 per cent. more than any other strain of 
Extra Earlies.

The vines are strong and robust, growing toa height of 
twenty to twenty-five inches. The pods are large and of a

Withvits extreme earliness it is considered the very best 
wrinkled variety. Qt., 20c.; peck, $1.25. 
Gradus, or Prosperity Peas.—Comparatively 
new, of English origin, isan extra early wrinkled variety, 
very prolific with large dark green pods, of a very fine 
flavor. Vines grow from twenty-four to thirty inches. The 
Peas remain tender and sweet for a long time after they are 
large enough to use, as the vines continue in bearing for 
some little time after the first podsare ready. We consider 
it one of the most desirable for the family garden or home 
use. Qt., 25c.; peck, $1.75; bush., $6.50.
