rMijtroRD Culture 



Three quarts of seed to 100 yards of row. One and a half to two bushels to the acre. 



CULTURE. — Sow as early as the ground can be worked, and again every ten days or two weeks far 

 succession. They can be sown as late as the 20th of August for the last sowing, using Extra Earlies. 

 Sow in rows about 4 feet apart and 1 inch apart in the row and 3 to 4 inches deep. 



EXTRA-EARLY ALASKA.— The earliest blue 

 pea. The dark green color of the pods makes it 

 extremely desirable, as it can be carried long dis- 

 tances without losing color, which quality, combined 



with its earliness and uniformity of ripening, makes 



it a most desirable pea for market gardeners. Height 



2 feet. Pint, 20c. Quart, 35c. Peck, $2 



Bus., $8. 



Extra Early Alaska. 



LITTLE MARVEL.— As regards Little Marvel 

 peas, this variety we can recommend as being one 

 of the very best short-vine peas introduced. The 

 vines are about a foot high, very stocky, and the 

 pods are large and well filled with large peas of 

 excellent quality. We consider this variety far 

 superior to American Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, 

 and when they are better known they will be in 

 great demand. Pint. 25c. Quart, 40c. Peck, 

 $2.75. Bushel, $10.50. 



NOTT'S EXCELSIOR.— One of the best early 

 dwarf peas. It combines the good qualities ol the 

 American Wonder and Premium Gem Peas. Pint. 

 25c. Quart. 40c. Peck, $2.75. Bushel, $10.00. 



LONG-PODDED ALASKA PEAS.— New, vig- 

 orous, handsome, long-podded, delicious flavo.red 

 Alaska Pea. Bound to become extremely popular, 

 for it has all the good qualities of 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 while it is 

 not a distinctly sugar pea. yet it has a much 

 sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is an abun- 

 dant vielder. Pint, 20c. Quart. 35c. Peck. $2.25. 

 Bushel. $8.50. 



GRADUS, or PROSPERITY.— Probably the 

 best extra-early pea yet introduced. Only 2 or 3 

 days later than Alaska, and a wrinkled pea of ex- 

 cellent qualitv. Pint. 25c. Ouart, 40c. Peck, 

 $2.75. Bushel, $10.50. ' 



IMPROVED STRATAGEM.— A favorite with 

 market gardeners for a general crop pea, strong 

 .vines, immense pods, large peas, heavy cropper, 

 true stock. Pt.. 25c. Qt., 40c. Pk., $2.75. Bus.. $10.50. 



EXTRA-EARLY PILOT.— The pods and peas 

 are nearly as large as those of Gradus, and are 

 produced three days earlier. They can be planted 

 much earlier than Gradus, and while not wrinkled 

 the peas are almost equal in flavor. Three feet 

 high. Pint, 25c. Qt., 40c. Pk., $3.00. Bus., $11.
