PEAS 
MEDIUM EARLY 
AND 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 in rows four feet apart; the seed should be covered about two 
inches and the plants thinned to two inches apart in the row. 2 lbs., for 100 feet of double drill, or ZOO 
feel 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. 
177 MAMMOTH PODDED 
EXTRA EARLY 
The Largest Extra Early Pea Grown 
Shown in colors on page 39 
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 
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 3}i inches long, straight, pointed, 
dark green, and contain 7 to 8 deep green 
peas of good quality. In season Early 
Delicious is readv practically as soon as 
First-of-AU, 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 winkled varieties.

174 LITTLE MARVEL 
An Improved Early Dwarf Variety 
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 
Nott's Excelsior. The vines grow about 
eighteen inches high and both vine and 
pod are in color an extremely dark 
green.

The earliest of the sweet large-podded

gress is four days earlier than Lax- 
tonian, heretofore considered the 
earliest large-podded pea.
