 Extra Earlies. Sow in rows about 4 feet apart and 1 inch apart 

 in the row and 3 to 4 inches deep. 



Early Bird Peas. 



EXTRA-EARLY ALASKA— The earliest blue pea. The dark 

 green color of the pods makes it extremely desirable, as it can 

 be carried long distances without losing color, which quality, 

 combined with its earliness and uniformity of ripening, makes 

 it a most desirable pea for market gardeners. Height 2 feet. 

 Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $1.75, bu. $6.50. 



LITTLE MARVEL— As regards Little Marvel peas, this va- 

 riety we can recommend as being one of the very best short- 

 vine peas introduced. The vines are about a foot high, very 

 stocky, and the pods are large and well filled with large peas 

 of excellent quality. We consider this variety far superior to 

 .American Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, and when they are better 

 known they will be in great demand. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, 

 bu. $7.00. 



NOTT'S EXCELSIOR— One of the best early dwarf peas. 

 It combines the good qualities of the American Wonder and 

 Premium Gem Peas. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



LONG-PODDED ALASKA— New, vigorous, handsome, long- 

 podded, delicious flavored Alaska Pea. Bound to become ex- 

 tremely popular, for it has all the good qualities of famous 

 Extra Early Alaska Pea, and in addition, it has a well-filled 

 pod almost twice as long which will fill the basket in one-half 

 the time, and while it is not a distinctly sugar pea, yet it has 

 a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is an abundant 

 yielder. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



GRADUS, or PROSPERITY— Probably the best extra-early 

 pea yet introduced. Only 2 or 3 days later than Alaska, and a 



wrinkled pea of excellent quality. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, 

 bu. $7.00. 



EXTRA-EARLY PILOT— The pods and peas are nearly as 

 large as those of Gradus, and are produced three days earlier. 

 They can be planted much earlier than Gradus, and while not 

 wrinkled, the peas are almost equal in flavor. Three feet high. 

 Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



PREMIUM GEM — This variety is nearly as early as the 

 American Wonder, and the very productive vine is decidedly 

 larger, growing to a height of from 15 to 18 inches. The pods 

 are large and crowded with 6 to 8 very large peas of fine 

 quality. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



THOMAS LAXTON— An extra-large-podded variety. The 

 plant is a very hardy and strong grower, producing the large- 

 size pods in abundance; quality is delicious and cannot be sur- 

 passed. Pods very dark green. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, 

 bu. $7.00. 



AMERICAN WONDER— This is a dwarf variety, and leads 

 all others in point of earliness, growing about 10 inches high, 

 and produces a profusion of good-sized, well-filled pods, with 

 finest flavored peas. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



HORSFORD'S MARKET GARDEN— A first-class wrinkled 

 pea, second early; height 24 inches. Does not require stakes; is 

 profitable sort for market gardeners ; a single plant has been 

 known to produce 150 pods. It is equally good for the home 

 table. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



CARTER'S DAISY, or DWARF TELEPHONE— A most 

 desirable sort on account of its size, beautiful shape and fine 

 quality. Pods broad and of a pale green color. Height 20 

 inches. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



EARLY BIRD— As early as Alaska and First and Best. As 

 large as Thomas Laxton or Gradus. Dwarf, vigorous vines 

 about 2 feet high, covered with immense well-filled pods. Per- 

 fectly hardy. Can be planted as early as any variety. Pt. 20c, 

 qt. 35c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 



LAXTON SUPERB— A new dwarf Gradus. This is the 

 largest podded of all the early dwarf varieties and is a new 

 sort of decided merit. The vines are vigorous, growing about 

 16 inches high, and produce a large crop of good-sized pods, 

 averaging from 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas are of 

 exquisite flavor and mature early. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pj{. $2.00, 

 bu. $7.00. 



Mann's Full Pod Pea 



(SPECIALTY, see page 2.) 



An extremely valuable variety, superior to Nott's Excelsior 

 and American Wonder, especially suited to small home gardens. 

 Pt. 25c, qt. 45c, pk. $2.25, bu. $8.00. 



TELEPHONE IMPROVED STOCK— A luscious wrinkled- 

 pea; pod, large size and peas excellent quality; an enormous
