Johnson & Stokes' Selected Extra 

 Early flarket Garden Teas. 



The Best First Early. A Money Maker 

 for the Trucker. 



This Extra Early Pea, bearing our brand, 

 is a careful selection of our own, and will be 

 found entirely distinct and superior to any 

 other. Over 6,ooo bushels of these peas are now 

 annually sold by us to the market gardeners of 

 the United States. No other pea grown has 

 such a record as this. For several years past 

 we ourselves, and also many of the largest and 

 most experienced truckers, have made com- 

 parative trials with other leading brands of Extra Early Peas, and in every case Johnson & Stokes' 

 Extra Early was the first ready to pick by from three to five days. Our pea farm is situated in Ontario, 

 Canada, sixty-seven miles farther north than any other, which largely contributes to their extreme 

 earliness and fine dwarf habit. The pod is of a dark green color, of a full, round shape, and of a strong 

 texture, which especially fits it for shipping long distances. It does not require stakes or brush of any 

 kind for support, growing to a height of two to two-and-a-half feet. So evenly do the pods fill up that 

 the entire crop can be gathered at one picking, which is a very valuable feature. It is far in advance 

 of any other Extra Early Pea on the market, and market gardeners can make no mistake in using 

 this for their entire first early crop. Pkt., loc. ; pint, 25c.; qt., 40c., post-paid ; qt., 25c.; peck, fr.15; 

 bush., I4.25; 5 bush., $4.00 per bush, by freight or express. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' 



Second Early flarket Garden Teas. 



The Best Second Early Wrinkled Variety. 



This valuable variety is also the product of 

 our Canadian farm, and is the best and most 

 productive Second Early Pea on the market. 

 Its fine, medium-sized, well-filled pods are ready 

 for picking about ten days after our Extra Early. 

 The peas are larger and more wrinkled, when 

 dry, than that variety, while in delicious flavor they are unsurpassed. It is also a prodigious bearer, hav- 

 ing averaged as much as 70 pods to the vine with ordinary field culture, and will produce more pods to 

 the acre than any other pea in cultivation. The vines grow very uniformly to a height of two feet, and 

 ripen up so evenly that the whole crop can be cleared off generally in one picking, and never more than 

 two pickings. Pkt., loc. ; pint, 25c., qt., 40c., post-paid; qt., 25c.; peck, $1.25; bush., f 4.50 ; 5 bush, 

 and over, J4.25 per bush, b}' freight or express. 



Nott's Excelsior Pea. 



Early 



The Finest 



Extra 



This most excellent new pea was originated 

 in Vermont by Richard Nott, the well-known 

 specialist. It is the best of recent introduc- 

 tions ; vines are larger and more vigorous than 

 the American Wonder, while the pods are fully 

 one-third larger, containing 6 to 8 fine, large 

 peas, packed so closely together in the pods that the peas are always more square than round. The 

 pods are always well filled with peas, which, in sweetness and quality, have no equal, being superior to 

 any other wrinkled sort. Pkt., loc; pint, 25c.; qt., 40c., post-paid ; qt., 25c.; peck, $1.50; bush., I5.00, 

 by freight.
