162 FIRST-OF-ALL, 



(Henderson's) 



Beyond All Question the Earliest 

 Pea Grown. 



The extreme earliness of First-of-All 

 Emphatically distinguishes it from all others. 



It has a sweetness peculiar to its class, 

 and a flavor which is preferred by many. 

 Anyway, First-of-All may be eaten and the 

 crop removed while other sorts are maturing. 

 (See Colored Plate, page 40.)

166 JUBILANT (Henderson's) 



One of the Best Second Early Varieties- 



The Jubilant Pea is medium early, begin- 

 ning to bear a few days after our famous 

 Prosperity has started. The plants, which 

 are extremely vigorous, grow to a height of 

 3}^ to 4 feet. The large deep green pods 

 literally cover the vines. The pods, which 

 are easily shelled, are usually filled with 9 to 

 10 large luscious marrow peas of exquisite 

 flavor. 



The vigorous constitution of the plant 

 makes it practically immune to blight and 

 consequently the production of peas is ex- 

 tended over a long period. 



Price, pkt., 15c; Yi lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 

 21bs.,90c; 8 lbs., $3.25; 151bs., $5.75; trans- 

 portation paid. 



171 LAXTONIAN 



A Grand Early Marrow Dwarf Pea 



The vine is only eighteen inches high, 

 which makes it possible for any one to 

 raise the largest Peas very early in the 

 season on a small area, and with very 

 little effort. It is a vigorous and depend- 

 able grower, and very prolific. 



The pods are not only large, but are 

 always well filled with Peas of great size 

 and remarkably good quality. The crop 

 is ready for use about a week later than the 

 earliest sorts. By sowing this variety at 

 intervals of ten days up to the end of May, 

 a very satisfactory supply of Peas may be 

 raised for continuous use. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 15c; Yi lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 

 2 lbs., 90c; 8 lbs., $3.25; 15 lbs., $5.75; trans- 

 portation paid. 



174 LITTLE MARVEL, 



(Early Dwarf) 



This is the most prolific of the Early 

 Dwarf Garden Peas, and we especially 

 recommend it to the home gardener. 

 The pods— borne in pairs — mature much 

 earlier than Nott's Excelsior. The vines 

 grow about 18 inches high and both vine and 

 pod are in color an extremely dark green, now 

 so much in demand. (See illustration.)

 2 lbs., 90c; 8 lbs., $3.25; 15 lbs., $5.75; trans- 

 portation paid.

 MEDIUM EARLY

176 MELTING MARROW 



Equal in size and rich, "melting marrow" 

 flavor to the best of the later sorts. It is 

 admirable for a second early crop, and is so 

 vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, 

 that it may be safely relied on, not only 

 for early use, but for successive sowings 

 throughout the entire season when Peas 

 can be grown. The pods are very large 

 and are produced in abundance. They 

 are always bountifully filled with very 

 large Peas of a rich, inviting green color, 

 of perfect flavor. It is one of the easiest 

 to care for. The vines are only 15 to 18 

 inches high, so that it does well without 

 support. 



Price, pkt., 10c; Yi lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 

 2 lbs., 80c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 15 lbs., $4.75; trans- 

 portation paid. 



179 NOTT'S EXCELSIOR 



Early Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality. 



A distinctly American production of re- 

 markably vigorous constitution, enormously 

 productive, and generally excellent. The 

 pods are of good size, produced liberally, 

 and are well filled with excellent Peas of 

 perfect quality. The plant is among 

 the smallest, very rarely exceeding 15 

 inches in height, and is easily grown. It 

 still is, and long will be, extremelv popular.

186 PROSPERITY 



Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown 



It is very gratifying to the grower to be 

 able to supply the table with such delicious 

 Peas as early as the first week in June. 



Price, pkt., 15c; Y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 

 2 lbs., 80c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 15 lbs., $4.75. 

 (See Color Plate, page 40; description, page 43.) 



188 SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR 



The vines usually reach 18 to 20 inches in 

 height. This is the most productive 

 variety in its class and an excellent pea 

 to follow the very early varieties. The 

 dark green peas are rich in flavor, and 

 pods may be gathered continuously. 



Price, pkt. 10c; Yi lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 

 2 lbs. 80c; 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. $4.75; trans-
