 (!J3°"Those marked with a star (*) are wrinkled Marrows, and unless 

 otherwise stated should be sown thicker than the round Peas, and not 

 until the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot. 

 They have the finest flavor of all Peas. 



Extra'Early Varieties 



Bolgiano's Earlv Bird. Unsurpassed for extreme earliness, 



■ superb quality, and unusual produc- 

 tiveness. The dwarf, vigorous vines, 2 to 23^ feet high bear an 

 abundance of large, beautiful, deep green pods 4 to 43^ inches 

 long, filled with nine or ten large, delicious Peas. Can be sown 

 as soon as the ground can be worked, as they do not rot like the 

 fully wrinkled varieties, and can be used as early as Alaska. 



AMEER. An exceptionally profitable early Pea. Green seed. 

 Height 2K feet. 



BOLGI ANO'S EXTRA-EARLY ALASKA. By careful selection 

 and thorough roguing we have a fine stock that is unequaled. 

 Height 23^ feet. 



*BOLGIANO'S 100 PER CENT PROFIT. A remarkably early 

 wrinkled Pea. Plants grow about 1 foot high, bear an abun- 

 dance of immense, beautiful dark green pods filled with large, 

 luscious Peas which retain their color after they are cooked. 

 Much earlier, more prolific richer colored, and more delicious 

 flavor than either Thomas Laxton or Gradus. 

 BOUNTIFUL. Bears an abundance of beautiful pods, crowded 

 with delicious Peas Extremely early. Height 23^ feet. 



*LAXTONIAN (Hundredfold). One of the earliest of the large- 

 podded, wrinkled sorts. Grows about 18 inches high, with pods 

 3 to 33^ inches long, attractive dark green. The flavor is 

 extra fine. 



*LITTLE MARVEL. Dwarf, even grower, 15 inches high, heavily set with fine pods, 

 frequently borne in pairs. Ready for table fully as early as American Wonder. 

 LONG-PODDED ALASKA. A very good early shipper, and being a hard-seeded 

 variety, it can be planted early. Vines about 3 feet high, with pods 3 to 33^ inches 



long, of frosty, dark green 

 and very fine flavor.

 large pods; fine quality. Height 23^ feet.

 taining six to eight large Peas very close together. Height 1 foot. 



♦SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR. As early as American Wonder, with 

 much larger pods and more prolific. Height 1 foot.

Disinfection with Semesan at the rate of 1 ounce to 15 

 pounds of seed or soaking of the seed in normal liquid 

 Semesan for 15 minutes generally increases germination, 

 stand and yield.
