EARLIESwr PEft IN T^E WORLD 



READY FOR PICKING IN 40 DAYS . 

 10,000 BUSHELS SOLD ANNUALLY 



Where earliness, productiveness, large-sized pods and 

 sweetness of flavor are desired, this is the variety to grow ; 

 it may be truly called 



THE BLOODED STOCK OF ALL 



finest Early Peas, and stands at the head for the above fine 

 qualities ; in a favorable season ready for market in 40 days. 

 The entire crop can be taken olf in two pickings. 



To the market gardener, earliness is of the greatest im- 

 portance, as even a few days frequently make a great differ- 

 ence in price, often a depreciation of from S2.00 to $4.00 per 

 barrel : the inexperienced find this out when too late, therefore 

 the earliest is what is required, and 



BUCKBEE'S LIGHTNING EXPRESS IS THAT VARIETY 

 SOW THEM, YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE 



Was introduced by us in '87 and sold that year 2000 bushels, 

 and each year the demand for them has steadily increased; they 

 have been the first Peas shipped North from the great Pea 

 growing districts of Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi and

THE "FULL OF LIFE" STRAIN 



By^ careful selection and growing I have developed a stock of this smooth, blue Pea, which in evenness of growth of vine 

 and early maturity of pods is unequaled by any other extra early Pea, Vines two and two and one-half feet high, are uubranched, 

 beai'ing four to seven long pods, which are filled with medium-sized dark green Peas of excellent flavor. Ripe Peas small, bluish 

 green. Ripens the crop all at once, and is an invaluable variety for market gardeners and canners. A very excellent sort. Don't 

 fail to try it. Prepaid— Pkt. 6c. ; 3i-Bt. 10c. ; pt. 16c. ; qt. 30c. Not Prepaid— Qt. 15c. ; peck $105; bu. $4.00. 



EARLY PEAS 



These can be planted to advantage during Juh' and August, 

 or further south early in September, to come in as late crop, 

 and when they succeed well they always sell at high prices in 

 our markets. Also very desirable for late vegetables for the 

 home garden. The varieties named below are best for fall 

 planting.

MAJIROWFAT PEAS 



The Marrowfat Peas are hardier than the extra-earlies, 

 and, planted In November, December and January, will come 

 up and withstand the cold weather in the early spring, making 

 their growth and yielding their crop to follow directly after 

 extra-early Peas. As is well known, the Mari'owfats are very 

 much more prolific than any other smooth jieas, and they make 

 a most satisfactory and profitable market sort. We recommend 

 to our customers to plant these in December and January, for 

 home use, market and shipping.

SEE WHAT THIS GROWER SAYS: 



Mrs. a. a. Bocdreaux, De Ridder, Calcasie.v Co., La,, writes March 29th. 1908: "I planted the Lightning Express (Peas) 

 on the 18th daj' of February, and two days later I planted the Earliest Of All, or Alaska, and today, the 39th of March, we ate 

 a good mess of fine Peas from our garden. The Lightning Express are the most vigokous planted side by side in rich ground. We 

 have been taking the most of our seed from you since we have moved on the farm, and are very well satisfied in all respects, and 

 will remember H. W. Buckbee for "Full of Lite" Seeds.'' ' ' '
