R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 



PEAS. (Brdse.) 



A light soil, moderately rich, should be selected for the early varieties, and old, decomposed manure or leaf-mold should be 

 scattered along the bottom of the drill and covered lightly with fine earth, so that the seed may not come in direct contact with the 

 fertilizer. The earliest Peas are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in spring; later sowings of the fine, sweet, 

 wrinkled varieties should follow. Sow in drills and cover not less than four inches. One quart to one hundred feet of drill; one 

 and one-half bushels sozvs one acre in drills. 



Large packet of all varieties, 10 cents each, post-paid. If larger quantities are desired by mail please add 8 cents per pint, 

 and 15 cents per quart extra ior postage.

 1 Si 1 ion's Excelsior. A dwarf, early Marrowfat Pea, growing about 16 to 18 inches high. Vine is very similar to 

 Stratagem, pod is large and well filled with delicious flavored peas. Ready for picking with Nott's Excelsior. 

 A Pea of decided merit. Pint, .25; qt., .40; peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00. 

 GRADUS or Prosperity. Large, handsome pods resembling Telephone in size and shape, well filled with large 

 peas, ripening with the earliest. Ripening very quickly, the pods must be picked as soon as fit for the table. 

 Habit vigorous, very quick to germinate and push to maturity; foliage large, pale green in color; pods long, 

 straight, slightly rounded at the point. The best extra early wrinkled variety ever introduced, and by far the 

 most desirable variety for the home garden. Height, 3 ft. Pint, .30; qt., .50; peck, $3. 00; bush., #10.00. 

 Thomas Laxton. (New.) Very similar to Gradus, being a cross between that variety and one of the extra earlies. 

 In our trial ground we found it several days later than Gradus, but hardier and fully more prolific. Peas are 

 wrinkled and quality the best. Pods are very large and contain on an average eight to ten peas. Pint, .30; 

 qt., .50; peck, $3.50; bush., ;?l2.oc.
