CULTURE. Succeeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow thickly in April in rows 1 foot 

 apart and one-half inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the rows. 

 The seed is slow of germination, taking from three to four weeks to make its appear- 

 ance, and often failing to come up in dry weather. To assist its coming up quicker, 

 soak the seed a few hours in warm water or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it 

 swells or bursts. For winter use protect in a frame or light cellar. 



MARKET GARDENER'S BEST TRIPLE -CURLED PARSLEY. The best points 

 yet obtained in parsley have certainly been reached in this sort. The plant is of a 

 very robust and free growth, and is greatly improved by severe cutting. The leaves 

 are very large and beautifully curled, and of a very dark green. It will stand the 

 heat, drought and cold better and will yield double that of any other sort. Pkts., 5

EMERALD OR DWARF EXTRA CURLED PARSLEY. Leaves tender, beautifully

GREEN MOUNTAIN PARSLEY. We have always been alert to appreciate any 

 seed of exceptional merit; we saw that everybody would want our new Green Moun- 

 tain Parsley when they heard of its wonderful beauty. Hardy, immensely productive, 

 deep velvet green. The leaves are densely curled and borne in abundance. It is 

 exceedingly easy to grow, and with very little care anyone can have the finest parsley 

 in cultivation. If you have but a few square feet of garden, you can raise enough 

 parsley to supply your table with decoration 

 and your soups with fine fresh flavor. Price:

CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop use a 

 rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay is best. When grown in garden, sow in double 

 rows 6 to S inches apart ; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart and tall ones requiring brush. 

 Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked 

 in February or March ; continue for a succession every .two weeks until June, then 

 discontinue until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing 

 the 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. 



THE EARLIEST SPRINGTIME PEAS 



This selected stock of this Pea is by all odds the earliest large podded pea on 

 the market. It is a wonder. The pods are from 4 to Wi inches long, and broad 

 like the Gradus. The seeds are what is known as the round seeded variety. Be- 

 cause of the robust, hardy nature of the pea, it can be planted at the same time as 

 the Alaska or other very early sort; but in appearance there are none that can 

 compare with it of the early varieties. The vines are vigorous in growth, and 

 grow to the height of about 3 feet, and the pods are borne in pairs. The crop in 

 quality and quantity will please everyone who plants it. Price, pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; 

 qt., 40c; gal., $1.50; pk., $2.75; bush., $10.00. 



EXTREMELY EARLY LONG-PODDED ALASKA PEAS. An entirely new, 

 vigorous, handsome, long-podded, delicious flavored Alaska Pea. Bound to become 

 extremely popular, for it has all the good qualities of our 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 v.hile it is not a distinctly sugar pea, yet it 

 has a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is an abundant yielder. Pkt., 10c; 

 pt., 15c; qt., 25c; 4 qts., $1.00; pk., $2.00; bush., $7.50. 



WONDERFUL EXTRA EARLY PEAS. 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 

 them. It can be planted as early as the Alaska — vines grow stiff and upright. 

 Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; % pk., 90c; pk., $1.80; bush., $7.00. 



EXTRA EARLY GRADUS PEAS. The very best extra early wrinkled pea ever 

 introduced. It produces pods equal in size to the well-known Telephone. Quality 

 and productiveness equal to that well-known variety. The vines are of vigorous, 

 robust growth, about 2% feet high, thick stems and luxuriant foliage; it bears 

 large, handsome pods, with immense luscious peas, remaining sweet and tender 

 for a long time after they are fit to pick. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; qt., 30c; gal., 

 $1.00; pk., $2.00; bush., $7.50. 



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 extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distances without 

 losing its color, which quality, combined with its earliness and uniformity of ripen- 

 ing, make it one of the best extra early peas for truckers and market gardeners. 

 Pkt., 10c; pt., 15c; qt., 30c; gal., 90c; pk., $1.75; bush., $7.00.
