JOHNSON & STOKES' SELECTED EXTRA EARLY MARKET GARDEN PEAS. 



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 x)f 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 iu Ontario, 

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

 earUness 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 for the market 

 gardener. It is far in advance of any other Extra 

 Early Pea on the market, and all private or market 

 gardeners can make no mistake in using this for 

 their entire first early crop. Pkt., loc. ; pint, 25c.;

Johnson&Stotes' Second [arliMafctGarJenPeas 



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, having 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 thaUthe whole crop can be cleared off 

 generally in one picking, and nevermore than two 

 pickings. Pkt., loc; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., post-
