The Dwarf Varieties should be liberally manured; the tall sorts will run too much to vine if heavily manured, it being 

 better to depend on the richness of the land that was previously in good condition. Plant the dwarf in rows two feet apart: 

 those varieties attaining a height of from two to three feet in rows three feet apart, and the rows of the tallest sort four feet 

 apart. Bushing the tall kind when six inches high, on poles set every six or eight feet, with twine fastened to them about 

 four inches apart, will answer finely. 



Extra Early Varieties 



THOMAS tAXTOH PEAS 



ALASKA — Our 



best rogued and 

 hand-picked stock. 

 Height 26 inches. 

 The earliest Blue 

 Pea. Very uniform 

 in growth and 

 time of ripening, 

 the dark green 

 color of pods 

 makes this a most 

 desirable sort for 

 canners and ship- 

 pers, as it can be 

 carried long dis- 

 tances without 

 losing color. 



FIRST AND 

 BEST — Height 2% 

 feet. Grown with 

 special care. One 

 of the earliest va- 

 rieties. 



P3DIGF.EE EX- 

 TRA EARLY — In- 

 troduced several 

 years ago, has 

 steadily increased 

 in favor until now 

 the truckers all 

 want it. Early as 

 Alaska, large pods, 

 white seeded, very 

 prolific. All mature 

 at one time and 

 can be gathered in 

 one picking. 



G. & T. CO.'S FIRST EARLY PEAS — This is the earliest 

 of all and the most profitable early market Pea, because of its 

 early maturity, uniformity of growth, and ripening, and its 

 productiveness. It ripens up so evenly as only to require 

 about two pickings to secure the crop. 



NEW LARGE PODDED ALASKA — In general habit and 

 growth resembles the well-known Alaska. Ripening about 

 three days later, but with much longer and thicker pods. 

 Handsomely shaped, of a beautiful dark green color, which is 

 retained long after other varieties have lost their usefulness. 

 The seed is somewhat dented. We strongly recommend this 

 new Pea to gardeners, truckers and shippers as a most pro- 

 ductive and large extra early variety. 



BOUNTIFUL — Ripening about three to four days later 

 than extra early sorts. Much longer and thicker pods. Beau- 

 tifully shaped, dark green color which is retained after earlier 

 varieties have turned grey. Seed dented, and we recommend 

 this pea to all market gardeners and truckers. 



PROLIFIC EARLY MARKET — New. Recently introduced. 



The finest, largest and most prolific extra early variety. 

 Larger than Alaska, nearly as early, quite as prolific. Hand- 

 some pods, which command the highest prices. Just the pea 

 for the trucker, market gardener and family garden. 



EARLY BIRD — As large as Thomas Laxton or Gradus. 

 Earlier than either. Vines about two feet high with large 

 well-filled pods. Can be planted earlier than Thomas Laxton 

 or other wrinkled varieties. 



Large Podded Extra Early Variety 



MARYLAND PRIDE PEAS — Introduced by us recently for 

 the first time, giving universal satisfaction to the market 

 gardeners and shippers. Pods large, of a deep green color, 

 and nearly as early as Alaska. 



THOMAS LAXTON — Habit and growth same as Gradus, 

 but pods are a deeper green color, square at the ends, having 

 fine flavor. 



GRADUS or PROSPERITY — Pale Green Wrinkled. The 



most attractive novelty of recent years. Large, handsome 

 pods, well filled, ripening with the earliest, and of vigorous 

 habit. 



IMPROVED LAXTONIAN — A fine, large mammoth-podded 

 wrinkled pea. Vine is dwarf and is fine for home garden. 

 Dark green. 



Medium and Late Varieties 



EVERBEARING — Vines are about 2 feet high, of a branch- 

 ing character, forming as many as 10 stalks from a single 

 root stalk. Peas large and of fine quality. 



HEROINE PEA — A medium early, green, wrinkled Pea, and 

 one of the best of recent introduction; large, curved, showy 

 pods; an immense cropper; Peas of finest quality. Height 2 to 

 2% feet. 



An old favor- 

 Large wrinkled seeds; 



CHAMPION OP ENGLAND — Height 4 feet, 

 ite, rich flavored and very productive. 



TELEPHONE — Height 3 to 4 feet, 

 pods large and well filled. 



IMPROVED SUGAR MARROWFAT PEAS (Genuine Stock) 



— Height 3% feet. Grows a strong vine, bears in abundance 

 large filled pods. The truckers' favorite. 



MELTING SUGAR (Edible Pods) — This variety is ahead of 

 all other Sugar Peas, not only in size of pod and prolific bear- 

 ing, but also for its delicious flavor. It grows to the height 

 of 5 feet, bears a profusion of very large, broad, handsome 

 light green pods, which are so brittle that they snap without 

 any strings. 



TALL GRAY SUGAR (Edible Pods)— Cooked in the pods 



same as Snap Beans. 



DWARF GRAY SUGAR (Edible Pode) — Quite a favorite. 



Dwarf Wrinkled Varieties 



NOTT'S EKCELSIOR — Is the best of dwarf wrinkled extra 



early of recent introduction. The vines are larger and more 

 vigorous than the American Wonder, while the pods are fully 

 one-third larger, containing 6 to 8 fine, large Peas, packed so 

 closely together in the pods that the Peas are always more 

 square than round. The pods are always well filled with 

 Peas, which in sweetness and quality have no superior. 



AMERICAN WONDER — Very luscious in flavor. Try it. 



Height 12 inches. The earliest wrinkled Pea; very productive 

 and sweet. Better suited to the private than to the market 

 garden. 



PREMIUM GEM — Height 15 inches. An improvement upon 

 the Little Gem. A splendid wrinkled dwarf Pea; very lus- 

 cious in flavor. 



MCLEAN'S LITTLE GEM — Similar to Premium Gem, but 

 more straggling in growth; pods not so well filled; height IS 

 inches; seed, green wrinkled.
