The Earliest Springtime Peas 



This selected stock of this Pea is by all odds the earliest large podded pea on 

 the market. It is a wonder. The pods are from 4 to 4 ' ■> inches long, and broad 

 like the Gradus. The seeds are what is known as the round seeded variety. Be- 

 cause of the robust hardy nature of the pea, it can be planted at the same time as 

 the Alaska or other very early sort: but in appearance there are none that can 

 compare with it of the early varieties. The vines are vigorous in growth, and 

 i the height of about 3 feet, and the pods are borne in pairs. The crop in 

 qualitv and quantitv will please everyone who plants it. Price, pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; 

 qt.. 30c; gal., 80c; pk., $1.50; bush., $7.00. 



Extremely Early Long-Podded Alaska Peas. An entirely new, vigorous, 

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

 tremely popular, for it has all the good qualities of our 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. Pkt., 10c 

 pt., 15c; qt., 25c; 4 qts., 75c; pk., S1.40; bush., $5.00. 



Wonderful Extra Early Peas. This pea has proven itself to be a decided ac- 

 quisition to the list of peas. It is as early as the Alaska; bears long, well-filled pods. 

 While not a wrinkled pea, it takes somewhat of the character of them. It can be 

 planted as earlv as the Alaska — vines grow stiff and upright. Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; 

 qt., 25c; pk., S1.40; bush., $5.00. 



Extra Earlv Gradus Peas. The very best extra early wrinkled pea ever intro- 

 duced. It produces pods equal in size to the well-known Telephone. Quality and 

 productiveness equal to that well-known variety. The vines are of vigorous, 

 robust growth, about 2H feet high, thick stems and luxuriant foliage; it bears 

 large, handsome pods, with immense luscious paas, remaining sweet and tender 

 for a long time after they are fit to pick. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; qt., 30c; gal., 80c; 

 bush., $6.00. ' 



E\ tra Early Uaska. The earliest of all smooth green peas, having the best color 



when shelled and the best quality when cooked. The dark green color of the pods 



make it extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distances without losing its 



color, which quality, combined with its earliness and uniformity of ripening, make 



best extra early peas for truckers and market gardeners. Pkt., 10c;
