For a first Early, it lias no superior, excepting Maule's Earliest of All. Most wonder- 

 fully productive ; even cropper : pods large and well tilled ; height about 2 ft.; ot most lus- 

 cious and agreeable flavor. It is undoubtedly an extra A No. 1 and very profit- 

 able variety in every respect. J. Russell, Waldoboro, Me., secured the 850 premium 

 Oct., 1889, for picking the enormous quantity of 20,047 pods from one qt. sown in 150 

 feet of row. This certainly stamps Maule's Extra Early the most prolific of all. Any 

 number of reports came from customers who picked from 10,000 to 19,000 pods.

EXTRA EARL2Y 



The Most Profitable Pea 

 for Market-Gardeners. 



AMERICAN WONDER— Planted in June ma- 

 tures in 33 days. 27 to 41 pods counted on some 



vines, 9 large peas to pods, all well filled. Vine 8 to 10 

 inches high. My crop is as choice as ever. The 

 genuine Bliss strain. Pkt.. inc.; pt.. 25c: qt.. 45c. 



MAULE'S FAMILY GARDEN.— In earliness, Family Garden equals any other, often 

 maturing in 45 to 50 days. In productiveness, it is simply wonderful. In quality of a 

 most toothsome and delicate flavor. '1 lie only difference between them and Maule's Extra Early 

 is. that although thev frequently ripen equally as early, they are not an even cropper ; that is they do not 

 mature their crop all at once, but continue io bearing from one to three weeks. For market-gardeners 

 this is not so desirable a quality, but for the home garden it is most desirable, 

 hence the name Family Garden. Being very hardy, they leadily resist fr> 6t "Wherever 

 grown they have at once become general favorites. In not a single order received 

 this spring should Maule's Family Garden be omitted. Your garden will not be 

 complete without them. Packet. 10 cents ; pint, 25 cents ; quart, 45 cents. 



NEW EARLY PRIZE. — A Well-known grower of Vermont writes : " Havingtested 

 Early Prize this season by the side of eighty varieties from all parts of the country, I 

 consider it in all respects' one of the best varieties in America." A cross between Tom 

 Thumb and the Advancer. Grows eighteen inches high, being slightly taller than Premium 

 Gem, and while equally early, it is decidedly a better cropper than either that or Tom 

 Thumb. Pods large, heavy, and well filled. Also equal to the wrinkled varieties in 

 sweetness and flavor, and can be planted earlier than these without danger of rotting. 

 Its combination of earliness, dwarf growth, yield and quality, with the large size, and 

 good filling of the pod, ensures its future as one of the best peas for the family or market 

 garden. Packet, 10 cents ; pint, 35 cents ; quart, 60 cents.

 excellent quality ; grows from 2 to 3 feet high, verv prolific. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25c; qt.. 45c.
