CULTTTEE. 



Peas mature 

 earliest in light, 

 rich soil. For 

 general crop 

 use a rich, deep 

 loam or inclin- 

 ing to clay is 

 best. When 

 grown in gar- 

 den sow in dou- 

 ble rows 6 to 8 

 ins. apart; the 

 rows 2 to 4 ft. 

 apart. Com- 

 mence sowing 

 the extra early 

 V a r i e t ies as 

 i> a r 1 y as the 

 giound can be 

 worked in. Feb- 

 ruary or March; transplant for 

 a succession every two weeks 

 until June, then discontinue 

 until the middle of August, 

 when a good crop may be se- 

 cured by sowing extra early 

 and early sorts for fall use. 

 They should be kept clean and 

 earthed up twice during the 

 growth. The wrinkled varieties 

 are not as hardy as the small, 

 round sort, and if planted early should have a dry soil or they 

 are liable to rot in the ground. They are, however, the sweetest 

 and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited 

 for small gardens. Per mailing see Parcel Post Bates, paffe 2.

 tiful dark green pods are similar to Gradus in shape and

 dwarfer, more prolific, deeper green color, and more delicious 

 in flavor than either the Thomas Laxton or the Gradus Pea.

 point of productiveness, flavor and quality, and is without 

 exception the earliest wrinkled pea in cultivation. It is of

 and produces a profusion of good-sized and well-filled pods 

 of finest flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 40 cts.;

Elxtremely Early Long-Podded Alaska. au entirely 

 new, vigorous, handsome, long-podded, delicious flavored 

 Alaska pea. Bound to become extremel.v popular, for it has 

 all the good qualities of our Famous Extra Early Alaska 

 Pea, and in addition it has a well-filled long pod, which will 

 fill the basket quickly, and while it is not a distinctly sugar 

 pea, yet it has a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is 

 abundant yielder. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 40 cts.; 

 4 qts. $1.40; peck, $2.60; bushel, $9.50. 



Extra Early Alaska. The earliest of all smooth green 

 peas, having the best color when shelled and the best quality 

 when cooked. The dark green color of the pods make it ex- 

 tremely desirable, as it can be can-ied long distances with- 

 out losing its color, which quality, combined with its earli- 

 ness and uniformity of ripening, make it one of the best 

 early peas for market gardeners. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; 

 qt. 40 cts.; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.00. 



Bolgiano's Extra Early Triumph. The earliest of all; 

 uniform and productive. The success of our Extra Early 

 Triumph Peas has been surprising. Large truckers haVe 

 found it most satisfactory. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; 

 qt. 40 cts.; peck, $2.40; bushel, $8.50. 



Prolific Early Market Not quite so early as the Pedi- 

 gree, but much more productive. Beautiful large pods, fine 

 quality, one of the best peas ever introduced. Height 2% 

 feet. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 40 cts.; peck, $2.25; 

 bushel, $8.00. 



Wonderful Extra Early. This pea has proven itself to 

 be a decided acquisition to the list of peas. It is as early 

 as the Alaska; bears long, well-filled pods. While not a 

 wrinkled pea, it takes somewhat of the character of these. 

 It can be planted as early as the Alaska — vines grow stiff 

 and upright. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 40 cts.; peck, 

 $2.60; bushel, $9.00. 



Money for postage must be included with all mail orders for Peas unless shipped by express.
