AULE'S EARLIEST 05 ALL 



41 DAY^FROM -PLANTING 



MAULE'S EARLIEST OF ALIi. 



— For years has distanced all competi- 

 tors. Is there a seedsman in the U. S. 

 \i ho has not the best Extra Early Pea 

 in existence ? I have yet to find a cat- 

 Uogue where this claim is not made, 

 ind where the special strain of Peas of- 

 li red by the said eedsman is not all 

 the way from one to two weeks earlier 

 ( lian any other Pea in the world. Now 

 I do not claim there is no other extra 

 < irly pea but Maule's Earliest of All, 

 hut I do claim that I have a strain of 

 Ktra early peas that is the equal of 

 anything on the market, and a thou- 

 sand per cent, better than lots of. trash 

 that is yearly sold for extra early peas 

 to the confiding gardeners of the coun- 

 try. Every gardener who has ever sown Maule's Earliest of All along side of other varieties, 

 has yet to find an earlier pea, and nothing can better illustrate its worth, than the fact that 

 many times in the last ten years I have entirely sold out, as the demand invariably exceeds 

 the supply. Unsurpassed In regularity of growth, yield, size of pod and general excellence. 

 It is wonderfully productive and can alinost always be cleared oflT in two; pickings. Color 

 of the dry peas a bright green. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 



SHROPSHIRE HERO. — No late pea has pleased me so much in years as this variety. 

 In my own trial grounds, it has equaled and surpassed any other main crop sort, among a test 

 of 150 to 200 different varieties. The following received from one of the largest and most suc- 

 cessful pea growers in Northern N. Y., describes Shropshire Hero: 



"Shropshire Hero is very prolific, and very true to its type. The quality is exceptionally 

 good, the pods large and well filled and easily opened. We are confident this Pea is likely to 

 supersede Pride of the Market and Stratagem. In earliness it is about like Champion of Eng- 

 land and Yorkshire Heroes. It has been much more prolific with us than White Marrowfat, 

 and as soon as there are enough to supply the trade, think they are likely to take the place 

 of White Marrowfats in the canner's trade." There is no question but that Shropshire 

 Hero is bound to talte the place of many sorts now favorably known to the American mar- 

 ket and home gardener; grows about 2J^ feet, is a second early, and produces wonderfully well 

 filled, long, handsome pods in great abundance. Peas at the same time are of unusually large 

 size and delicious flavor. The peas described on this page are three leaders that are certainly 

 worth a fortune to every professional market gardener. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts. 

 BfOTT'S EXCELSIOR.-This makes the sixth year I have boomed this magnificent Pea as 

 absolutely the very best dwarf wrinkled variety in cultivation. In my trials of several hun- 

 dred new varieties of peas at Briar Crest, Nott's Excelsior has proved itself the greatest addi- 

 tion to our list of peas in many years. It is so hardy and vigorous that it may safely be 

 planted in early spring with any smooth variety, and can be counted on for table use almo=t 

 as soon, while, as every one knows, the quality of any wrinkled pea is far superior to aTi\
