Garden Peas 



Plant 100 pounds of dwarf varieties per acre 

 Plant 50 pounds of tall varieties per acre 



Pedigree Extra-Early 



Plant this for early June Peas 



Days to maturity, 50. This variety, also 

 known as First and Best, Morning Star, etc., has 

 been offered in this country for over one hundred 

 years. The modern type has been considerably 

 improved upon. We offer it in preference to 

 Alaska, which is two or three days earlier, be- 

 cause of its larger pod, higher sugar content, and 

 more prolific bearing qualities. These features 

 make it a more desirable variety for the general 

 planter. In quality, Pedigree Extra-Early when 

 gathered young in the early spring is hardly sur- 

 passed. This variety does not need brushing as 

 the vines only grow to a height of 20 inches. 

 The pods average 2}^ inches. The dry seed is 

 small, smooth, yellowish white. Price, delivered: 

 Y 4 \b. 15 cts. ; lb. 35 cts. ; 2 lbs. 60 cts. ; 5 lbs. $1.40; 

 50 lbs. $12. 



Lax Ionian 



The leading dwarf type 



Days to maturity, 57. We consider Lax- 

 tonian our most important variety at this time. 

 It is one of the most desirable of the large-podded 

 dwarf wrinkled series and is very productive. 

 The dwarf, vigorous vines do not require brush, 

 and, although only 18 inches high, ordinarily 

 bear a very heavy crop. The pods will average 

 about 4 inches in length, and because of their Laxtonian Peas 



rich green color, invariably find interested ^ 



buyers. The Laxtonian is, in many respects, similar to Gradus, but we believe it is more d 

 as it is much more prolific. The seed is light green, large, wrinkled, and regular in shape, 

 delivered: y 4 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.40; 50 lbs. $12.

Little Marvel 



A very prolific main-season dwarf sort 



Days to maturity, 60- An excellent dwarf sort for the market or home-garden, growing but 15 

 inches high, and no brushing is necessary Marvel resembles Nott's Excelsior in the habit of growth 

 and quality. The pods are considerably longer (3 inches), and often produced in pairs. They are 

 straight and slightly broader than Nott's Excelsior, but not so broad as Sutton's Excelsior. The seed 

 is large, green, and wrinkled. Price, delivered: Y^lb. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.40; 

 50 lbs. $12. 



Admiral Beatty 



An excellent tall, late variety 



Days to maturity, 70. This comparatively new English variety is offered to our trade in place of 

 the older Telephone. Admiral Beatty has been described as the Improved Duke of Albany, a pea of 

 the Telephone type, but with darker foliage and pods. The vines of Admiral Beatty grow to nearly 4 

 feet and must be brushed for the best results. The long green pods sometimes reach a length of 5 

 inches and contain from eight to ten Peas of the most delicious quality. For a main or late season sort, 

 we recommend Admiral Beatty. Price, delivered: V^b. 15 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 2 lbs. 75 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.75; 

 50 lbs. $14.
