Peas belong in three groups: Garden, field and edible podded. Garden peas are smooth or wrinkled. The 
' smooth are earlier and most hardy. The wrinkled aresweetest. Field peasare of high value in stock feeding and 
: green manuring. Hdible podded peas are growing in favor. 
CULTURE.—Sow in earliest spring and make successional plantings every ten days until July 1. In the latter part of August sow early peas 
'.for an autumnerop. Drill 1 to 2 inches deep in rows 2% to 4 feet apart. Inthe field use no sticks. In garden culture sow in double rows 10 inches: 
| apart, and use supports for the tall growing varieties. One pint to 75 feet of drill; two to three bushels per acre.

MAULE’ 
Maule’s Earliest of All Pea has become the main reliance of thousands of truckers and 
farmers who wish to be first in market with new peas. It is a smooth sort, with wonderful 
ability to mature quickly. It is absolutely unsurpassed in extra early qualities, in flavor, 
in size of pod and productiveness, in vigor and regularity of growth, and in genuine merit. 
Eveyy seedsman claims to sell an ‘earliest’? pea, but, after testing them all, 1 know that 
not one excels my own celebrated strain, either in quality, quantity or earliness. Maule’s 
Earliest of All is very hardy, and may be sown as soon as the soil becomes mellow. It 
may be relied upon to be ready for market in about forty-five days from date of germi- 
nation. Its profitable character is shown by the fact that the demand for it increases 
year by year, and my stock is often completely exhausted before the end of the planting 
season. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.50. 
Mrs. Russell Mann, Paris, Ky.—I want to tell you what luck I had with Maule’s Earliest Peas. They 
are the grandest peas I ever raised. I planted two quarts, and from the vines I cooked for my own 
family nine pecks, gave away one peck, and sold seven pecks at 40 cents per peck. I think that is fine. 
Your Icicle Radish is the finest radish I ever saw. 
AMERICAN WONDER PEA, 
A GOOD EARLY WRINKLED PEA. 
This is a first-rate wrinkled pea of dwarf habit, 
with vines less than a foot high. It is better 
suited to the private garden than for market 
purposes; in fact, it has taken the place in the 
private garden once occupied by Tom Thumb, 
and has practically eliminated that once famous , 
sort. American Wonder is one of the earliest of 
the wrinkled varieties. It is quite distinct from 
all other peas in habit of growth and appearance,. 
the vines being unusually robust and stocky. In AN 2a 
favorable weather and soil it will mature in the iN SG 
remarkably short period of 42 days, but it is less , Uy. G) 
hardy than Maule’s Earliest of All, and must not Vaz 
be planted as soon. It makes most rapid growth’. 
immediately after the soil has become somewhat 
warm, and is a perfect second early sort for the y 
family garden. It is a great favorite in many // 
sections. I have the original prolific stock. Y

New Surprise PEA. 
NEW SURPRISE PEA. 
One of the Largest Podded and Earliest 
of all Wrinkled Extra Earlies. 
You Need It. 
This is one of the best of the new wrinkled 
peas, and is to-day one of the most famous. It 
has made an enviable reputation within the 
brief time that it has been on the market; in 
fact, it has sprung into universal popularity. 
It is about as early as the smooth varieties, 
and far superior to them in both quality 
and yield. Itranks with the very earliest of 
the wrinkled sorts. not even excepting Gradus 
or Prosperity. Pods are smaller than Gradus, 
but are more numerous. The vine grows 20 to 
24 inches high, and requires no sticks. The Sur- 
prise pea has attracted universal attention, and 
has everywhere made a splendid record for 
both quality and quantity. Its sweetness is 
noteworthy, and it bears with a profusion that 
is truly remarkable. Its extreme earliness 
makes it one of the most profitable market 
peas ever introduced, and nothing superior to it 
1S available for the family garden. Gradus and 
American Wonder are as quick to mature, and 
are larger, but Surprise will equal these famous 
Sorts in quality and will exceed them in yield. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, 
postpaid. Peck, $1.75.
