Culture. — Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop a rich deep loam, or inclining to 

 clay is the best. When grown in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart ; the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, and 

 tall ones requiring bru-sh. Co ntneuce 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 discontinuing until the middle 

 of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts for tall use. They should 

 be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small 

 round sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground ; they are, how- 

 ever, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forc- 

 ing ; planted in rows one foot apart. 



EXTRA EARLY WRINKLED PEAS. 



Nott's Excelsior Pea. — The very best short 

 vine, Wrinkled Extra Early Pea. Vines are more 

 vigorous and taller than the American Wonder, and 

 the pods are one-third larger, containing often 6 to 8 

 large peas, closely compacted together, and for sweet- 

 ness and quality it has no superior. Pint, 15 cents ; 

 quart, 25 cents; gallon, $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel, 

 $6.50. 



Premium Gem. — This variety is nearly as early 

 as the American Wonder, and the vine is decidedly 

 larger, growing from a height of from 12 to 15 inches, 

 and bearing an immense crop of pods, which are 

 larger and invariably well filled with peas of best 

 quality. The dry peas are green, large, wrinkled, often 

 flattened. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 

 75 cents ; peck, $1.50 ; bushel, $6.00. 



American Wonder. — This variety stands unri- 

 valed in point of productiveness, flavor, and quality, 

 and is, without exception, the earliest wrinkled pea 

 in cultivation. It is of dwarf and robust habit, grow- 

 ing from 10 to 15 inches high, and produces a profu- 

 sion of good-sized and well-filled pods of the finest 

 flavor. Dry peas, medium size, wrinkled and flat- 

 tened, pale green. Requires liberal fertilizing. Pint, 

 15 cents ; quart, 25 cents ; gallon, $1.00; peck, $1.75;

Gracilis. —Without doubt the finest Extra Early 

 Pea yet introduced ; it is in condition to pick about 4 

 days after our Extra Earlv Triumph Peas. The pods 

 are very l^ge and well filled with large, deep green 

 peas of the very finest quality. y z pint, 15 cents; 

 pint, 25 cents ; quart, 50 cents ; gallon, $1.75; peck.

The earliest of all ; uni- 

 form and productive. The 

 success of our Extra 

 Early Triumph Peas has 

 been surprising. It has 

 distanced every other 

 early pea. Large truck- 

 ers have found it to be 

 the best variety, and our 

 I|| large stocks have never 



^2?J been equal to the demand 

 forthem. Every progres- 

 sive grower should have 

 them. Pint, 15 cents ; 

 quart, 25 cents; gallon, 

 75 cents; peck, $1.50;

 early peas for truckers and market gardeners. Pint,
