162 FIRST-OF-ALL 



(Henderson's) 



The extreme earliness of First-of-All em- 

 phatically distinguishes it from all others. 



While it lacks the "marrow" flavor of 

 the larger and later sorts 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. The slim, 3-foot 

 vines permit close planting; it may be 

 planted as soon as frost leaves the ground.

 2 lbs., 75c; 8 lbs., $2.50; 15 lbs., $4.50;

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. (See illustration.) 



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

 2 lbs., 95c; 8 lbs., $3.25; 15 lbs., §5.75; 

 transportation paid. 



174 LITTLE MARVEL 



Early Dwarf. An Improvement on Nott's 

 Excelsior and American Wonder 



This is the most prolific of the Early Dwarf 

 Garden Peas, and we especially recommend 

 it to the home gardener. It is a decided improvement 

 . on the Wonder class because the pods — always borne in 

 pairs — mature much earlier than either Nott's Excelsior 

 or American Wonder. The vines grow about eighteen 

 inches high and both vine and pod are in color an ex- 

 tremely dark green, now so much in demand. We are 

 quite sure Little Marvel will give satisfaction to every- 

 body. It is well named "Little Marvel". (See illus- 

 tration.)

176 MELTING MARROW 



Admirable for a second early crop. The 

 pods are large and are produced in abun- 

 dance. 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.

 great profusion and so liberally filled, 

 insures a bountiful supply at all times.

 ten Peas of delicious quality, large and 

 rich in flavor.
