Extra Early Peas 



CONTIINUBD 



Wrinkled Peas remain longer in season, are more delicate in flavor, 

 and sweeter than the smooth sorts, as in sugar corn, the wrinkled appear- 

 ance indicates a greater amount of saccharine matter. 



Improved Ji}ph^ 



Hmerican Cttondcr 



Tha earliest tall growing wrinkled 

 pea, and almost as early as Amer- 

 ican Wonder. Vines about three 

 feet high, slender, mostly un- 

 branched and bearing five to ten medium sized, slightly curved pods, each con- 

 taining four to eight green, medium sized peas which are exceedingly sweet and 

 tender. We offer a very superior strain of this sort and recommend it as the 

 best in quality of any tall early pea and especially adapted to the home garden.

A variety nearly as eai'ly as the 

 First and Best, with stout branch- 

 ing vines about nine inches high, 

 and covered with well filled pods 

 containing seven or eight large, 

 exceedingly sweet, tender and well 

 flavored peas. Dry pea medium 

 sized, much wrinkled and flat- 

 tened; pale green. 

 We have taken great 

 pains in growing our 

 stock, and know it to 

 be pure and true.

IMPROVED ALPHA. 



FERRY'S EXTRA EARLY TOM THUMB, vines 



dwarf, about nine inches high, and maturing about the 



same time as the American Wonder. It can be planted in rows 



ten inches apart. Peas small, white, smooth, roimd and not of the 



very best quality. Pkt.lOc; Pt. 15c; Qt.20c; 4 Qts.60c; Bu. $3.50 



BLUE PETER, sometimes called Blue Tom Thumb. An early 

 blue pea of fine quality; as dwarf as the Tom Thumb and a great 

 producer. An excellent pea in all respects, and one of the best of 

 the dwarf varieties. Dry peas large, round, semi-wrinkled; dull 

 blue in color. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 (^ts. 60c; Buo $3.50 



PREMIUM GEM. This variety is nearly as early as the Amer- 

 ican Wonder, and the very productive vine is decidedly larger, 

 growing to a height of from 12 to 15 inches. The pods are large, 

 and crowded with six to nine very large peas of fine quahty. The 

 dry peas are green, large, wrinkled, often flattened. Market gar- 

 deners use more of this sort than of any other -wrinkled 

 pea. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c: 4 Qts. 60c; Ba. $3.00 



McLEAN'S LITTLE GEM. a very desirable, 

 early dwarf, green, wrinkled variety, growing 

 about fifteen inches high. When in a green state, 

 it is verj^ large, sweet and of delicious flavor.

THE BEST or THE EXTRA 

 EARLY DWARf=' REAS 



It combines to a wonderful degree the good qualities of the American 

 Wonder and Premirun 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 S weetness and Quality are Unsurpassed. 



MOST DESIRABLE SORT 



FOR THE MARKET GARDENER, AND 



""VxIelsior. 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 vrhen the stock is pure 

 and true it has never failed to please those who planted it. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $4.00 

 If by mail or express prepaid, add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart, for charges.
