The New Extra Early Wrinkled Pea 



The vine of this most distinct sort is lilie that of Buckbee's First and Best, 

 "except that it grows a little taller and produces peas tit for use a few days 

 Jllater The immense pods are as large as those of the Telephone, uniformly 

 jwell shaped and handsome, and more attractive than those of other first earl- 

 lies. They ripen slowly and continue fit for use much longer than most varieties, 

 making this by far the most desirable sort for the home garden. The peas are 

 ^yery large, of splendid quality and beautiful color which they retain after cook- 

 jing. This variety is practically the same as what is being offered as "Prosper- 

 ,ity." We have taken great pains to secure true stock and have it well grown, 

 so we are sure that everyone who purchases our seed will be pleased with the 

 varietj-. Every gardener should try i:. pt. 18c, pt. 30c, qt. 50c. 

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

 ' stock of this smooth, blue pea, 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 

 _ unbranohed, bearmg 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 

 for market gardeners and caoners. A very excellent sort. Don't fail to try it. }4 P^- S'^) P^- ^^"^t 



NOTT'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. J.< pt. 12c, pt.

■UCKBEE'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 

 feet high, unbranched, bearing three to seven straight pods, 

 having five to seven medium size smooth peas of good quality 

 Drv pea medium size, smooth yellowish white. Kpt.lOc

 The admiral — We are convinced of the great value, 

 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 

 €5olor. Pods are usually borne in pairs and in 

 great abundance ; they are about two and one- 

 half inches long, thick, curved, bright green, 

 carrving six to ninecloselycrowded peasof the 

 very best quality and color. We know of no pea 

 that remains palatable 

 longer after it becomes 

 large enough to use.

BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED STRATAGEM— 

 The large podded semi-dwarf English 

 varieties of peas have 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 

 arge showy pods and peas of the best 

 'quality. }4 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, s'weet. 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. 10c. 

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

 growing abo\it 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 use. 

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

 flavor and qualitv. One of the best. }{ pt. 10c, pt. 16c, qt. 30oL 

 TRUE AMERICAN WONDER— Variety whos'e stout , 



branching vines grow about nine inches hig 



nd 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 flattened, pale green. 

 W^e have taken gi-eat pains j 

 in growing our stock and 

 know it to be pure and 

 true. J^pt.l2c.pt.20c,qt 35.

 to 15 inches and bearing an 

 immens? crop of pods, which 

 are larger and invariably well filled 

 with peas of the best quality. The

 flattened. Market gardeners use more of 

 this sort than of anv other wrinkled pea.
