Prolific Early Market Pea 



The Most Productive Extra Early Market Sort 



We offered this grand pea in 1901 for the first time, quoting the 

 introducer to the effect that while it was 3 to 4 days later than the 

 first early sorts, it was 30 to 50 per cent, more prolific. 



The introducers, Messrs. N. B. Keeney & Son, prominent New 

 York pea growers, thus speak of it: "Several years ago the writer 

 selected a very productive plant of an extra early pea, having an 

 exceptionally long pod. From this was produced what we call 

 Prolific Early Market. Our tests of this pea showed it to blossom 

 two days later than our earliest and best strain of Extra Early, 

 and in the development of pods suitable for picking, 3 or 4 days 

 behiuil; but of remarkable productiveness, giving a j'ield of 30 to 

 50 per cent, more pods than any other strain of extra earlies we 

 know of." A desirable extra early sort for home or market gardeners. 



Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, quart, 35 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; 

 bushel, $8.00.

The Sherwood 



PROLIFIC EARLY 



This new dwarf pea is of exceptional merit. Produces large pods 

 containing 8 to 10 peas, of a rich deep green color and is of exquisite 

 flavor. The plant grows about one foot high literally covered with 

 handsome large, dark green pods. It is one of the heaviest cropping 

 dwarf varieties yet introduced. Should be planted in every home 

 garden. As our suj^ply is limited, we advise all our customers 

 to order as early as possible. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpEud. By ex- 

 press or freight, not prepaid, queu-t, 35 cents; 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, 

 $2.25; bushel, $8.00.

Dwarf Pea Little Marvel 



A dwarf early pea of unusual value. The vines average 15 

 inches in height, and the pods 2^ inches in length, frequently 

 borne in pairs. The pods contain from 6 to 7 large dark green 

 peas which remain in good eatable shape a week later than most 

 other varieties. This variety is as early as American Wonder, 

 but produces a much larger pod, and the vines produce a much 

 heavier crop. Its dark green jiods are a more attractive color 

 than the light green sorts. A desirable pea for both the home 



garden or for market. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 55 cents, post- 



pciid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 40 cents; 



4 quarU, $1.50; peck, $2.75; bushel, $10.00.

Sutton's Excelsior 



LITTLE MARVEL PEA. 



The Sutton's Excelsior pea resembles Nott's Excel- 

 sior, but has longer and broader pods of a light green 

 color; the ix)ds are square at the ends with 6 or 8 large 

 sized peas to a pod. The vines grow 15 inches long 

 and are hardy, permitting early planting. They are 

 very heavy bearers, and on account of its hardiness 

 and large sized pods, many prefer Sutton's Excelsior 

 tto the large podded taller varieties. Comes into bear- \ 

 ing a few days later than Nott's Excelsior. It is 

 a fine pea for either home or market gardeners. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, post- 

 paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 35 cents; 

 4 quarts, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.00.
