The Greatest Record of them all. Over 3500 Bushels of JOHNSON & 



STOKES' Selected Extra Early Peas were sold in 1889 to 



the Market Gardeners of the United States. 



This Extra Early Pea, hearing our brand, is a careful selection of our own, and will be found entirely distinct and 



superior to any otiier. Our pea farm is situated sixty-seven miles farther North tlian any other, wliicli largely contributes 

 to tlicir extreme earliness an(l fine dwarf habit. The pod is of a daric green color, of a full round slrape, and of strong texture, 

 wliicli especially fits it for sliipping long distances. On average soil it will not exceed eighteen inches in height, and does 

 not require stakes or lirush of any kind for support. So evenly do the pods fill up, that frequently the entire crop can be 

 gathered at one picking, which is a very valuable feature for the Market Gardener. All those requiring a pea to withstand 

 extreme cold weather should not fail to plant this sort. The far Northern point at which it is grown renders it almost proof 

 against cold, and the best for early spring or late fall crop. While thousands of market gardeners liave pronounced this pea 

 unequalled in earliness, yield and regularity of growth, and in every sense a perfect trucker's pea, yet at the same time 

 we know of no other variety more populnr or better adapted to private gardens. Pkt., lOc; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c., post-paid. 

 Qt., 35c.; peck, $1.15 ; bush., $4.25 ; 5 bushel and over, $4.00 per bushel, by freight or express.
