AULE'S EARLIEST oS ALL.

MAULE'S EARLIEST OF ALL. 



— For years has distanced all competi- 

 tors, is there a seedsman in the U. S. 

 who has not the best Extra Early Peii 

 in existence? I have yet to find a cat- 

 alogue where this claim is not made, 

 and where the special strain of Peas ol 

 fered by the said seedsman is not all 

 the way from one to two weeks earliei 

 than any other Pea in the world. Nov 

 I do not claim there is no other extrsi 

 early pea but Maule's Earliest of All 

 but I do claim that I have a strain oi 

 extra early peas that is the equal oi 

 anything on the market, and a thou 

 sand per cent, better than lots of trasli 

 •that is yearly sold for extra early pea-- 

 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 thai 

 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 almost always be cleared off 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 tesi 

 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 t'l 

 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 plac 

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

 Hero is bound to take the place of many sorts now favorably known to the American mai 

 ket and home gardener; grows about 1% feet, is a second early, and produces wonderfully wel 

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

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

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

 NOTT'S EXCELSIOR.— Ever since its Introduction I have boomed this magnificent Pe;- 

 as one of the very best dwarf wrinkled varieties in cultivatiOD. In my trials of several huD- 

 Uied 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 b 

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

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

 smooth. Time after time they have been fit for the table forty-five days from 



planting, with the most ord - 

 nary cultivation. Pods ar 

 square and chunky, alway- 

 containing from 7 to 9 largi 

 peas, packed so closely t(i 

 gether in the pods that tb' 

 peas are always more squar 

 than round. It grows to i 

 uniform height of one fooi, 

 and is at all times very tei 

 der and of fine flavor. Sei 

 dom has any vegetable bee i 

 more unanimously recon 

 mended than has Nott's Ex- 

 celsior Pea, by all my custom- 

 ers who have tried them, a 

 complaint has never been re- 

 ceived P-ncket 10 cents-
