752 Extra-Early Peas 



Under normal conditions this Pea will 

 mature almost the same time as the Alaska. 

 The Extra-Early was introduced by N. B. 

 Keeney & Son, Le Roy, N. Y., some years 

 ago, and was the result of several years' 

 work in selection. The vine of this Pea is 

 about 4 inches shorter, slightly darker and 

 almost as prolific as the Alaska. The best 

 feature of this Pea is its superb flavor. We 

 know of no equal to it in the entire list in 

 this respect. The pods are about the same 

 length but slightly darker in color than the 

 Alaska. Our stock is very uniform ahd can 

 be depended on by all classes of trade. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., lb. 24 cts., 10 lbs. $2.10, 

 100 lbs. $20. 



754 Prolific Early Market 



A Pea ripening about five days after the 

 Extra-Early, the pods being fully l A inch 

 longer than that variety, and the crop will 

 yield fully 25 per cent heavier. The vines 

 average about 2 l A feet, are dark in color 

 and bear handsome, dark green, blunt-end 

 pods about 3 inches in length. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 lb. 24 cts., 10 lbs. $2.10, 100 lbs. $20. 



758 Pilot 



This Pea is a selection from the Gradus, 

 but is not a desirable sort for the home- 

 garden as the quality of the Peas themselves 

 is inferior. Its appearance, however, is fully 

 as good as the celebrated Gradus described 

 on the following page. Owing to the hard, 

 round character of the seed it can be planted 

 fully as early as the Alaska described above. 

 Its growing season is about equal to Gradus 

 and Thomas Laxton, but the fact that it 

 can be sown about two weeks earlier will 

 bring it to maturity just as early in pro- 

 portion. Pkt. 5 cts., lb. 24 cts., 10 lbs. 

 $2.10, 100 lbs. $20.

Long Island Mammoth 



This Pea usually matures four or five 

 days later than the Telephone and is very 

 apt to come on the market after most of 

 the other varieties have gone. The long, 

 deep-rooted vines of Long Island Mammoth 

 have better drought-resistant qualities than 

 any other Pea in the entire list, and it is 

 strongly recommended as a late variety for 

 any and all purposes. When grown in a 

 small way brushing is desirable. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 lb. 24 cts., 10 lbs. $2.10, 100 lbs. $20. 



780 Telephone 



The long, handsome pods of this variety very often attain a length of 5 inches and contain 

 from seven to nine Peas of the very finest flavor. The vines will grow about 4 Yi feet high and we 

 would advise brushing except in cases where large quantities are grown, when other arrangements 

 are usually made. The stock of Telephone which we offer has been selected for dark pods and is 

 particularly recommended as a strain which will be of value to the commercial grower. Telephone 

 of late years has lost favor to a certain extent because of the fact that its pods were too light 

 to find a ready sale on the market. We believe, however, that we have eliminated this trouble 

 to a great extent. Pkt. 5 cts., lb. 24 cts., 10 lbs. $2.10, 100 lbs. $20. 



768 American Wonder 



This is one of the earliest dwarf wrinkled varieties and produces an abundance of sweet, tender 

 Peas of delicious flavor. Height 1 foot. Pkt 5 cts., lb. 24 cts., 10 lbs. $2.10, 100 lbs. $20.
