EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 



NOTICE. — In or»leriiis Peas to be sent by mail, please add Sc. per pint to pay postage. 



The dwarf varieties should be liberally manured; the tall sorts will run too much to vine 

 if heavily manured, it being better to depend on the richness of the hind that was 

 previously in good condition. Plant the dwarf in rows two feet apart; those varieties 

 attaining a 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 wlien six inches high, on poles set every 

 six or eight feet, witti*twine fastened to them about four inches apart, will answer finely. 



G. & T. Co.'s First Early Peas 



(In Sealed Bags, Thoroughly Rogmed 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 require about two pickings to secure 

 the crop. It is grown from selected stock, under our own supervision, and the 

 greatest care is exercised to keep it up to tlie highest standard of quality. It 

 is a great favorite with tlie truckers, and is largely used by private families. 

 Our sales of tliis sort increase annually.

 NEW LARGE PODDED ALASKA. — In general habit and growth resembles 

 the well-known Alaska. Ripening about tlute aays laier, but with much 

 longer and thicker pods. Handsomely sliaped, of a beautiful darlt green color, 

 wliich is retained long after other varieties liave lost tlieir usefulness. The 

 seed is somewhat wrinkled and dented. We strongly recommei.d this new 

 Pea to gardeners, truckers and shippers as a most productive and la^ge extra 

 early variety. Unart, 30c. Peck, $2.25. Bushel, $8.00. 



ALASKA. — Our best rogued and hand-picked stock. Height, 26 inches. The
