/ MAULE’S EARLIEST OF ALL PEAS. 
FIRST TO MATURE—MOST PROFITABLE. 
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 isa smooth sort, with wonderful 
ability to mature quickly. It is of such good appearance when picked that it may be 
termed a self-selling sort, commanding top prices. It is absolutely unsurpassed in extra 
early qualities, in flavor, in size of pod and productiveness, in vigor and regularity of 
It heads the list of smooth varieties in America. Every 
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-eight 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, 40 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.20.

V 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 
favorable weather and soil it will mature in the 
remarkably short period of 42 days, but it is less 
hardy than Maule’s Earliest of All, and must not ¢ 
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 
family garden.° It is a great favorite in many 
sections. I have the original prolific stock. Pkt., 
10c.; pt., 30¢.; qt., 50c., postpaid. Peck, $1.75.

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 
eas, and is to-day one of the most famous. It 
as 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 or quite as early as the Smooth va- 
rieties, 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 require 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 intreduced, and nothing superior to it 
is available for the family garden. Gradus and 
American Wender 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, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, 
postpaid. Peck, $1.50.
