{See Color plate page 40 description page 41) 



166 JUBILANT (Henderson's) 



One of the Best Second E^rly Varieties. 



The Jubilant Pea is medium early, begin- 

 ning to bear a few days after our famous 

 Prosperity has started. The plants, which 

 are extremely vigorous, grow to a height of 



3 3^ to 4 feet. The large deep green pods 

 literalh- cover the vines. The pods, which 

 are easily shelled, are usually filled with 9 to 

 10 large luscious marrow peas of exquisite 

 flavor. 



The vigorous constitution of the plant 

 makes it practically immune to blight and 

 consequently the production of peas is ex- 

 tended over a long period. 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 



4 qts. §3.00; peck $5.50; transportation 

 paid. 



171 LAXTONIAN, 



(Early Marrow) 



A Grand Early, Dwarf Pea — Enormous 

 Pods — The Largest of Peas. 



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 dependable grower, and 

 very proliiic. 



The pods are not only large, but are always 

 well filled with Peas of great size and re- 

 markably good quality. The crop is ready 

 for use about a week later than the earliest 

 sorts. By sowing this variety at intervals of 

 ten days up to the end of May, a very satis- 

 factory supply of Peas may be raised for 

 continuous use. {See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 

 4 qts. $3.00; peck S5.50; transportation 

 paid. 



174 LITTLE MARVEL, 



(Early Dwarf) 



This is the most prolific of the Early 

 Dwarf Garden Peas, and we especially 

 recommend it to the home gardener. 

 The pods — borne in pairs — mature much 

 earlier than Nott's Excelsior. The vines 



grow about 18 inches high and both vine and pod are in color an 

 extremely dark green, now so much in demand. {See illustration.) 

 Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; trans- 

 portation paid. 



CULTU RE. — The dwarf early Pecs are soitm in rows two feet apart, the larger and mid- 

 season varieties in rows three feel apart and the tail late varieties in rows four feet apart; the 

 seed should be covered about two inches and the plants thinned to two inches apart in the row, 

 1 qt. for 100 feet of double drill or 200 feet of single row. 



176 MELTING MARROW 



Equal in size and rich, "melting marrow" 

 flavor to the best of the later sorts. It is 

 admirable for a second early crop, and is so 

 vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, 

 that it may be safely relied on, not only 

 for early use, but for successive sowings 

 throughout the entire season when Pea^ 

 can be grown. The pods are very large 

 and are produced in abundance. They 

 are always bountifulh' 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. 



Pkt. 15c; pt. 45c; qt. 8Sc; 4 qts. $3.00; 

 peck $5.50; transportation paid. 



179 NOTT'S EXCELSIOR 



Early Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality. 



A distinctly American production of re- 

 markably vigorous constitution, enormou.sly 

 productive, and generally excellent. The 

 pods are of good size, produced liberally, 

 and are well filled with excellent Peas of 

 perfect quality. The plant is among 

 the smallest, very rarely exceeding 15 

 inches in height, and is easily grown. It 

 still is, and long will be, extremely popular. 

 Pkt. 10c; pt. 40c; qt. 75c; 4 qts. §2.50; 

 peck $4.75; transportation paid. 



186 PROSPERITY 



{See Color plate page 40 description page 41) 



188 SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR 



The vines usually reach 18 to 20 inches in 

 height. This is the most productive 

 variety in its class and an excellent pea 

 to follow the very early varieties. The 

 dark green peas are rich in flavor, and 

 pods may be gathered continuously through 

 most of the growing season. 



Price, pkt. 10c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 

 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; transportation 

 paid.
