EXTRA EARLY VAR5ETECS. 



G. & T. Co.'s 

 FIRST EARLY. 



<In Sealed Bags, Thoroughly Rogued 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 fa- 

 vorite with the truckers, and is largely 

 "used by private families. Our sales of this 

 sort increase annually.

PEAS 



NOTICE. — In ordering- Peas to be sent by 

 mail, please add 8c. per pint to pay postage. 



THE dwarf varieties should be liberally manured; the tall sorts will run too 

 m * u Z h \° v i n e if heavily manured, it being better to depend on the richness 

 of the land that was previously m good condition. Plant the dwarf in rows 

 two feet apart; those varieties attaining the 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
