C" ttX-t- tt f"/i For early peas the soil should be 

 WUlLUrC light, warm and sheltered, but 



for 



for a general crop a moderately heavy soil is 

 better. Fresh manured and rieh.'wet, mu/rky soil 

 should beavoided. Such soil is often the cause 

 of the early sorts maturing unevenly. Sow as 

 soon as possible the earliest varieties oa warm, 

 quiek soil prepared in the fall. The generalcrop 

 can be delayed until later, but we have met with 

 better success from sowing all the varieties very 

 early, depending for succesiiioQ upon selecting 

 sorts that follow each other in ripening. The 

 peas will mature earlier it covered only one inch 

 deep but larger pods and more of them will be prodaced if the seed is 

 planted :n trenches three to six inches deep, covered with one or two inches 

 of soil until the plants are up, then fi)Ui»g the trenches. This will secure deep 

 rooting, prevent them from mildewing and prolong bearing to a very great extent. 



EARLIEST OF ALL, or ALASKA — By careful selection and growing we have developed a 

 stock of this smooth, blue oea, which in evenness of growth of vine and early maturity of 

 pods is unequalled by any other extra early pea. Vines two to two and one-half feet high, are 

 unbranched, bearing four to seven long pods, which are filled with medium sized, dark green peas of 

 excellent flavor. Ripe peas, small bluish green. Ripens all the crop at once, and is an. invaluable variety 

 market gardeners and canners. A very excellent sort. Don't fail to try it. }4 pt, 8c, pt. 15c, qt. 28c. 



HOTT'S NEW EXCELSIOR— The best extra early dwarf pea. It 

 combines to a wonderful degree the good qualities of the Ameri- 

 can Wonder and Premium Gem Peas without their deficiencies. 

 The vines are larger and more vigorous than American Wonder, 

 and earlier and more prolific than Premium Gem. The peas in 

 sweetness and quality are unsurpassed ; a most desirable sort for 

 the market gardener and the best of all for the home garden. 

 "Unfortunately a great deal of inferior and spurious stock of this 

 sort has been on the market, but when the stock is pure and true 

 it has never failed to please those who planted it. K pt, 12c, pt,

BUCKBEE'S SELECTED FIRST AND BEST— By most careful com- 

 parison we are convinced that this is the earliest and most even 

 stock of white, extra early peas in existence, maturing so well 

 together that a single picking, or at most two, will secure the 

 entire crop. Vines vigorous and hardy, two to two and a half 

 leet high, unbranched, beariug three to seven straight pods, 

 having five to seven medium size smooth peas of good quality 

 Dry pea medium size, smooth yellowish white. J^pt.lOc,

 THE ADMIRAL — We are convinced of the great valu^ 

 of this variety for second early market or family 

 use, and we earnestly urge all our customers 

 to plant largely of it. Vines vigorous, three 

 to four feet high and little branched ; the 

 foliage resembles First and Best in size and 

 color. Pods are usually borne in pairs and in 

 great abundance ; they are about two and one- 

 laalf inches long, thick, curved, bright green, 

 carrving six to nineclosely crowded peasof the 

 ■very best quality and color. We know of no pea 

 thatremains palatable 

 longer after it becomes 

 large enough use.

 ,and flattened, medium

size, cream color. This* 

 ariety ripens with Tele 



phone, and is adapted to can 

 ners' use, owing to its very great vigor, 

 productiveness, fine color, quality and 

 suitable size of green peas. )4 P^- 12c,

BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED STRATAGEM— 

 The large podded semi-dwarf English 

 varieties of peasjiave been so wanting 

 in uniformity and evenness of type as to 

 disgust American planters, but by con- 

 stant effort we have developed a stock 

 of this, the best variety of that class, 

 which comes true, and we do not hesi- 

 tate to pronounce it the very best of the 

 large podded sorts The pods are of im- 

 mense size and uniformally filled with 

 very large dark green peas of the finest 

 quality. Vines are of medium height, 

 but very stocky, with very broad, light 

 green leaves, and bearing an abundance 

 of large handsome pods. The best pea 

 ' now on the market for those who want 

 .laree showy pods and peas of the best 

 ■quality. >/pt. 12c, pt. •20c, qt, 35c, 



BUCKBEE'S NEW MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR— This variety is far 

 superior to all others of the edible podded class of garden peas, 

 not only in size of pod, but also in delicious quality, in which the 

 large, sweet, brittle and succulent pods have none of the tough, 

 inner lining found in the ordinary varieties of garden peas ; they 

 are used in the same way as snap or string beans; the pods are 

 very large, straight, smooth, extremely tender, fine flavored, so 

 brittle that they snap; without any string; of the most delicious 

 flavor, borne in abundance on vines three to four feet high. 

 Send to Buckbee for original stock seed. J^pt.l5c,pt. 25c, qt,4bc. 

 NEW MAUD S.— A new and immensely popular extra early variety, 

 growing about 30 inches high ; wonderfully productive, pods are 

 of fine size and always well filled ; noted for its uniformity of 

 ripening, making it one of the most valuable peas for market us3. 

 One of the very best for family purposes being always of fing 

 flavor and qualitv. One of the best. pt. 10c, pt. 16c, qt. 80c. 

 TRUE AMERICAN WONDER— Variety whose stout 

 ^ranching vines grow about nine inches high"' 

 ■ are covered with long, well-filled pods 

 containing seven or eight large and 

 exceedingly sweet, tender and well 

 flavored peas, nearly as early as 

 First and Best. Dry peas are 

 medium size, much wrinkled 

 and fiattened, pale green. 

 We have taken great painsy 

 in growing our stock and 

 know it to be pure and 

 true. i<rpt.l2c,pt.20c.qt 35.

 to 15 inches and bearing an 

 immense crop of pods, which
