PEAS EARLY AND MEDIUM EARLY 
CULTURE—The dwarf early Peas are sown in rows two feet apart, the larger and mid-season varieties in rows three feet apart and the tall varieties 1m rows four feet 
apart; the seed should be covered about two inches and the plants thinned to two inches apart in the row. 2 bs., for 100 feet of double drill, or 200 feet of single row. 
Like many delicately flavored vegetables, Garden Peas should be cooked and served immediately or at least within a 
few hours after they are gathered. Therefore, in order to enjoy these tempting and delicious morsels to the utmost, they 
should be grown in your own garden, and the selection of varieties made from the following list. Our offering cannot be 
surpassed for Quality. 
162 FIRST-OF-ALL 
(Henderson’s) 
Beyond All Question the Earliest 
Pea Grown 
The extreme earliness of First-of-All em- 
phatically distinguishes it from all others. 
While it lacks the ‘“‘marrow’’ flavor of 
the larger and later sorts it has a sweet- 
ness peculiar to its class, and a flavor which 
is preferred by many. Anyway, First-of- 
while other sorts are maturing. The slim, 
be planted as soon as frost leaves the 
ground.

A Grand Early Marrow Dwarf Pea 
It is a vigorous and dependable grower, 
and very prolific. Height, 18 inches. 
The pods are not only large, but are 
always well filled with Peas of great size 
and remarkably good quality. The crop 
is ready for use about a week later than 
the earliest sorts.

174 LITTLE MARVEL 
Early Dwarf, An Improvement on Nott’s 
Excelsior and American Wonder 
This is the most prolific of the Early 
Dwarf Garden Peas, and we especially 
recommend it to the home gardener. It is 
a decided improvement on the Wonder 
class because the pods—always borne 
in pairs—mature much earlier than either 
Nott’s Excelsior or American Wonder. 
The vines grow about eighteen inches 
high and both vine and pod are in color 
an extremely dark green. (See illustration.)

176 MELTING MARROW 
Equal in size and rich, ‘melting marrow”’ 
flavor to the best of the later sorts. It is 
admirable for a second early crop, and is so 
vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, 
that it may be safely relied on, not only 
for early use, but for successive sowings 
throughout the entire season when Peas 
can be grown. The pods are very large 
and are produced in abundance. They 
are always bountifully filled with very 
large Peas of a rich, inviting green color, 
of perfect flavor. It is one of the easiest 
to care for. The vines are only 15 to 18 
inches high, so that it does well without 
support.

172 LAXTON’S PROGRESS 
The earliest of the sweet large-podded 
varieties. Our experience is that in the 
latitude of New York, Laxton’s Pro- 
gress is four days earlier than Lax- 
tonian, heretofore considered the 
earliest large-podded pea.

177 MAMMOTH PODDED 
EXTRA EARLY 
The Largest Extra Early Pea Grown 
The largest podded first early variety in 
existence. It belongs to the hardy semi- 
smooth or dimpled seeded group, thus 
making it possible to plant the seeds as 
soon as the ground can be prepared in the 
spring. The vines are medium heavy, 
deep green, about 3 feet in height, and 
produce a good crop. The pods are dark 
green, about 4 inches long, fairly broad, 
round, blunt ended, and contain 7 large, 
medium light green peas. Here is a 
variety that possesses all of the desirable 
characteristics of the late varieties in 
addition to its extreme earliness.

178 EARLY DELICIOUS © 
Shown in colors on page 24 
An Extra Early, Extra Hardy and Extra 
Fine Flavored Table Pea 
An extra early variety of outstanding 
merit. The vines grow about 2 feet high 
and produce an enormous crop. The pods 
are 3 to 34 inches long, straight, pointed, 
dark green, and contain 7 to 8 deep green 
peas of good quality. In season Early 
Delicious is ready practically as soon as 
First-of-All, and has the added advantage 
of being more productive, larger podded, 
and above all, of much higher quality. 
The seed is semi-smooth, or dimpled and 
for this reason can be planted earlier than 
is possible for the wrinkled varieties.

186 PROSPERITY 
(Henderson’s) 
The Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown 
It is very gratifying to the grower to be 
able to supply the table with such delicious 
Peas as early as the first week in June. 
The immense size of the pods borne in 
such great profusion and so liberally filled, 
insures a bountiful supply at all times. 
The vines are three feet high, the pods 
are borne singly and freely from top to 
bottom of the vine and contain from six 
to ten Peas of delicious quality, large and 
rich in flavor.

191 THOMAS LAXTON 
A Favorite Variety Among Private 
Gardeners 
An excellent, early wrinkled marrow 
variety. Height, 3 feet. Pods are medium 
to large. Produces strong vines, which 
bear heavy crops.

179 NOTT’S EXCELSIOR 
A distinctly American production of re- 
markably vigorous constitution, enor- 
mously productive, and generally ex- 
cellent. 
The pods are of good size, produced 
liberally, and are well filled with excellent 
Peas of perfect quality. The plant is 
among the smallest, very rarely exceed- 
ing 15 inches in height, and is easily grown.
