'E recommend our Extra Early Pea as the earliest of all, and 



best for the family garden. This superb variety is our own 



tested stock, and Ve stake om- reputation on it. As \\'ill be 



seen by our illustration, the pods are of fine size and borne in the 



greatest abundance and perfection ; indeed, the yield is extraordinary for an Extra 



Eaily Pea, and it ripens up evenly, allowing the crop to be cleared away promptly, 



\\ hich is a strong point in its favor. We are confident that all who once plant The 



Dingee & Conard Company's Extra Early Pea will have no other. Large packet, 



10 cts ; pint, 25 cts. ; quart, 45 cts , postpaid. Bv freight or express, ^ peck, 75 cts. ;
