PLANT MANN’S SEEDS FOR BETTER RESULTS 
We Do Not Pay Postage on Peas. 
Three quarts of seed to 100 yards of 
row. One and a half to two bushels 
to the acre. 
CULTURE.—Sow as early as the ground can be worked, 
and again every ten days or two weeks in succession. They can 
be sown as late as the 20th of August for the last sowing, using 
Extra Earlies. Sow in rows about 4 feet apart and 1 inch apart 
in the row and 3 to 4 inches deep. 
EXTRA-EARLY ALASKA—The earliest blue pea. The dark 
green color of the pods makes it extremely desirable, as it can 
be carried iong distances without losing color, which quality, 
combined with its earliness and uniformity of ripening, makes 
it a most desirable pea for market gardeners. Height 2 feet. 
Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.00, bu. $7.25. 
LITTLE MARVEL—As regards Little Marvel peas, this va- 
riety we can recommend as being one of the very best short- 
vine peas introduced. The vines are about a foot high, very 
stocky, and the pods are large and well filled with large peas 
of excellent quality. We consider this variety far superior to 
American Wonder or Nott’s Excelsior, and when they are better 
known they will be in great demand. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.75, 
bu. $10.50. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR—One of the best early dwarf peas. 
It combines the good qualities of the American Wonder and 
Premium Gem Peas. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00. 
LONG-PODDED ALASKA—Nevw, vigorous, handsome, long- 
podded, delicious flavored Alaska Pea. Bound to become ex- 
tremely popular, for it has all the good qualities of 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. Pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00. 
INOCULATE THIS 
SEED WITH 
STIMUGERM 
GRADUS, or PROSPERITY—Probably the best extra-early 
pea yet introduced. Only 2 or 3 days later than Alaska, and a 
wrinkled pea of excellent quality. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, 
bu. $9.00. 
EXTRA-EARLY PILOT—The pods and peas are nearly as 
large as those of Gradus, and are produced three days earlier. 
They can be planted much earlier than Gradus, and while not 
wrinkled, the peas are almost equal in flavor. Three feet high. 
Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00. 
PREMIUM GEM —tThis variety is nearly as early as the 
American Wonder, and the very productive vine is decidedly 
larger, growing to a height of from 15 to 18 inches. The pods 
are large and crowded with 6 to 8 very large peas of fine 
quality. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00. 
THOMAS LAXTON—An extra-large-podded variety. The 
plant is a very hardy and strong grower, producing the large- 
size pods in abundance; quality is delicious and cannot be sur- 
passed. Pods very dark green. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, 
bu. $9.00. 
AMERICAN WONDER—This is a dwarf variety, and leads 
all others in point of earliness, growing about 10 inches high, 
and produces a profusion of good-sized, well-filled pods, with 
finest flavored peas. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00. 
HORSFORD’S MARKET GARDEN—A first-class wrinkled 
pea, second early; height 24 inches. Does not require stakes; is 
profitable sort for market gardeners; a single plant has been 
known to produce 150 pods. It is equally good for the home 
table. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00. 
CARTER’S DAISY, or DWARF TELEPHONE—A most 
desirable sort on account of its size, beautiful shape and fine 
quality. Pods broad and of a pale green color. Height 20 
inches. Pt. 20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, bu. $9.00.

largest podded of all the early dwarf varieties and is a new 
sort of decided merit. The vines are vigorous, growing about 
16 inches high, and produce a large crop of good-sized pods, 
averaging from 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas are of 
exquisite flavor and mature early. Pt..20c, qt. 40c, pk. $2.50, 
bu. $9.00.
