EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 



G. & T. Co.'s 

 FIRST EARLY 



(In Sealed Bags, Thoronshly Rosaed and 

 Hand-Picked.) 



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 productive- 

 ness. It ripens up so evenly as only to re- 

 quire about two pickings to secure the 

 crop. It is grown from selected stock, un- 

 der our own supervision, and the greatest 

 care is exercised to keep it up to the high- 

 est standard of quality. It is a great favor- 

 ite with the truckers, and is largely used 

 by private families. Our sales of this sort 

 increase annuallv.

XOTICE. — In ordering Peas to be sent by

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.
