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

 thoroughly cleaned and carefully hand-picked. They are raised from the 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 larger wrinkled varieties are not nearly as hardy, and 

 the seed is apt to rot instead of germinating, 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 1 inch apart and 3 inches deep, 

 and the rows from 2 to 3 feet apart. 



EXTRA EARLY SMOOTH VARIETIES 



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 picking. The 

 dark green color of the pods make it extremely desirable, as it can be carried 

 long distances without losing color, grows two feet high, of the very finest 

 quality. Qt. 20c; pk. $1.40; bush. $5.00. 



(New) Pedigree Extra Early. — Largest podded of all Extra Earlies. This 

 superb strain, offered by us for the past two seasons, is growing rapidly in 

 favor; it is the achievement of most careful expert work of selection and re- 

 selection continued through a long series of years. This unequaled strain will 

 produce twenty to thirty per cent, larger crop and is ready for market only 

 two days behind Extra Early Alaska. The vines average twenty-four to thirty 

 inches. It is remarkably uniform and free from spots of any kind. Qt. 25c; 

 peck $1.50; bushel $6.00. 



First Best. — This Pea is the result of years of the most careful selection; 

 lieight two and a-half feet, large pods, very prolific and sure cropper. Qt. 20c; 

 peck $1.40; bush. $5.00. 



Triumph. — An early variety, very popular in many sections. About two and 

 a-half feet high. Qt. 20c; peck $1.40; bush. $5.00. 



Rural New Yorker. — Height two and a-half feet, seed white, slightly dented, 

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



Qt. 20c; peck $1.40; bushel $5.00. 



Large Podded Alaska. — This new pea in general habit and growth resembles 

 the well-known Alaska. Ripening about three days later, but with much 

 longer and thicker pods. The pods are handsomely shaped, of a beautiful dark 

 green color, -which is retained long after other varieties have lost their useful- 

 ness. The seed is somewhat wrinkled and dented, indicating high flavor and 

 good quality. We strongly recommend this new pea to gardeners, truckers, 

 and shippers as a most productive and salable extra early variety. Qt. 25c; 

 peck $1.40; bush. $5.00. 



(New) Prolific Early Market. — This is the largest podded of all Extra 

 Earlies, longer podded and more prolific than Pedigree Extra Early, for which 

 it is a fit companion and close second, as it comes in only four or five days 

 later. The vines average twenty-four to thirty inches high and produce pods 

 singly. One picking ■will take about three-fourths of the crop, and a second 

 picking, which is to be made about three days later, -will take the balance. It 

 is remarkably uniform and very free from spots of any kind. The peas are of 

 the finest quality. Qt. 25c; peck $1.50; bush. $6.00.

SECOND EARLY SMOOTH VARIETIES-Edible Podded Peas 



Prolific Early Market. 



Mammoth Melting Sugar. — This is by far the 

 largest and finest of the true sugar or edible pod- 

 ded Peas. The vines are of strong, vigorous 

 growth, frequently four to five feet in length and 

 the pods come rather late or about the same time 

 as the Telephone and Stratagem Peas. The vines 

 are very productive, of enormous pods and con- 

 tinue 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 



Imp. Sugar Marrowfat. — This fine Pea has given 

 wonderful satisfaction to all 'who have planted it. 

 It grows about two feet high, bears enormous 

 handsome pods, which are completely filled with 

 large, deliciously flavored deep green peas. It is 

 undoubtedly the most productive Pea offered. Qt.

 standard variety dwarf. Pea large and prolific. 

 Qt. 15c; peck, 60c; bush, $2.00.

 lent flavor. Height three and a-half feet. Qt. 15c; peck, 75c; bush. $2.50.
