Early Varieties. 



Dreer's Eureka Extra Early. One of the earliest 

 and most prolific extra early varieties, which has given 

 the best results wherever grown. Vines grow to a height 

 of about 20 inches and are very robust, bearing an 

 abundant crop of pods which measure about 2 l / z inches in 

 length and are well filled with peas of excellent flavor. It 

 is an extremely even cropper, and can be gathered clean in 

 two pickings. 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.25; 50 lbs., 

 $10 00. 



Dreer's Extra Early Electric. A variety of 

 the green-seeded Alaska type, but earlier and bears larger 

 pods which are dark green in color and well filled. It 

 makes a very uniform growth and is an excellent variety 

 for early shipping. It is also good for planting later 

 for the fall crop. Vines grow about 2 feet high and are very 

 productive. 2 lbs., 50 cts.; iolbs., #2.25; 50 lbs., $10.00. 



Alaska. An extra early round pea, bearing pods of a 

 dark green color, which are well filled; height 2 feet. 

 Because of its even habit in maturing, it is largly used for 

 canning, but for the market gardener we prefer the "Dreer's 

 Electric." 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.25; 50 lbs., $10.00. 



Gradus. or Prosperity. This variety combines the 

 finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also very 

 productive. It is hardy and can be planted as early as 

 the smooth Peas. Grows vigorous and healthy, vines 

 about 3 feet in height, bearing pods fully as large as Tele- 

 phone, well filled with beautiful light green Peas, which 

 color they letain after being cooked. The quality and flavor 

 are delicious, and a valuable feature is that the Peas remain 

 tender and sweet for a long time after having been picked 

 from the vines. 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., 

 $14.00. 



Laxtonian. (See cut.) May be classed a Dwarf 

 « [Gradus, which variety it resembles, except that it only 



growslabout 18 inches high. The vines make a vigorous 



growth, which enables them to withstand weather 



conditions unsuited to some of the large-podded varie- 

 ties and the pods are well filled with large Peas. 



While the crop does not mature until a few days later 



than " Gradus" the quality of this new variety is 



equally as good. 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00; 50 



lbs., $14.00. 

 Market Surprise. [See cut.) Grows about 30 



inches high and produces a great quantity of pods, 



well filled with Peas which are sweet and of good 



flavor. Matures the crop in about sixty days, and we 



consider it one of the best extra early Peas introduced 



in recent years and recommend it for market. 2 lbs., 



60 els.; 10 lbs., $2.75; 50 lbs., $12.50. 

 Sutton's Excelsior. ■ This handsome wrinkled 



Pea is so hardy that it may safely be planted as early 



as the hard-seeded "Extra Earlies." The plants 



now grow about 14 inches high, very stout and ex- 

 ceedingly productive. It makes the largest pods of 



any of the low-growing wrinkled Peas, and matures 



nearly as early as Nott's Excelsior. 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 



10 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $14.00. 

 Little Marvel. For early crop this variety is better 



than American Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, matures 



earlier and the pods contain more peas. Grows 



about 15 inches high, plants are very productive, bearing 



many twin pods, which are dark green. 2 lbs., 70 



cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs. $14.00. 

 American Wonder. A very fine, extra early, 



wrinkled variety, which responds well to good soil 



and high culture. It is one of the earliest of the 



dwarf wrinkled Peas and the flavor and quality are 



excellent. Its dwarf habit makes it a very desirable 



tort; height 12 inches. 2 lbs., 60 cts,; 10 lbs., $2.50; 



50 lbs., $11.00.
