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 5,000 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 

 comparative 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 earli- 

 ness 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. On average ground it will not exceed eighteen 

 inches in height, and never more than two feet on the richest soil. It does not require stakes or brush of 

 any kind for support. So evenly do the pods fill up that frequently the entire crop can be gathered 



at one picking, never more than two pickings, which is a 

 very valuable feature for the market gardener. All those 

 requiring a pea to withstand the extreme cold weather 

 should not fail to plant this sort. While thousands of 

 market gardeners have pronounced this pea linequallecl 

 in earliness, yield and regularity of growth, and 

 in every sense a perfect truckers' pea, yet, at the same 

 time, we know of no other variety more popular or better 

 adapted to private gardeners. Pkt., loc; pint, 25c.; qt.,

n/IRKET Q/IRbEN FE/J5. 



This valuable variety is also the product of our Cana- 

 dian 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 a week after our 

 Extra Early. The peas are larger and more wrinkled, 

 when dry, than that variety, while in delicious flavor they 

 are quite unsurpassed. It is also a prodigious bearer, 

 having averaged 70 pods to the vine with ordinary field 

 culture, and wUl 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 in two pickings.
