Extra Early Varieties. 



Dreer's Eureka Extra Early. {See cut.) One of 



the earliest and most prolific extra early varieties, which has 

 given the best results wherever grown. It is an extremely 

 even cropper, and can be gathered clean in two pickings. For 

 a late fall crop it has few equals ; height 20 inches. Qt., 30 

 cts. ; 4 qts., $1.00 ; peck, $1.75; bu., $7.00. 



Dreer's Extra Early Electric. A variety of the 

 green-seeded Alaska type, but a great improvement, being 

 much earlier than the Alaska and bearing larger pods. 

 The vines grow from 2^ to 3 feet high, and are literally 

 loaded down with pods, which are crowded with the large 

 peas, closely shouldered in pod. It is very uniform in 

 growth, and usually produces pods containing seven or eight 

 peas. Qt., 30 cts. ; 4 qts., $1.00 ; peck, $1.75 ; bu., $7.00. 



Dreer's Extra Early Pioneer. Pods of medium 

 sire, containing 4 to 6 peas of fine flavor ; height 20 inches. 

 Qt , 25 cts. ; 4 qts., 90 cts. ; peck, $1.65 ; bu., $6.60. 



Daniel O'Rourke. Good early sort for market garden 

 ers' and private use. Qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts.; peck, 

 $1.60 ; bu., $6.40. 



Alaska. An extra early round pea, bearing pods of a dark 

 green color, which are well tilled and ripen uniformly ; height 

 2 feet. Qt.,30cts.; 4 qts., Si. ro; peck. $1 75; bu., $7.00.

 4 qts., Si. 00 ; peck, $1.75 ; bu., $7.00. 



Premium Gem. A tine flavored early wrinkled variety,

 prolific. Height \)/ z ft. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., Si 10; peck, 

 Si. 85 ; bu., $7.40.

 very prolific, and of superior flavor; height iy 2 ft. Qt. , 30 

 cts.; 4 qts., |i. 10; peck, Si. 85; bu., S7.40.

 many desirable qualities. The peas are large, closely packed 

 in the pod, and the flavor is sweet and delicious. Qt., 40 cts.; 

 4 qts., Sl-5<>; peck, $2-50; bu., $10.00. 



add 15 cents per quart for postage. 



Nott's Excelsior. ( See cut. ) An improvement on Ameri- 

 can Wonder, being as early, if not a little earlier, and the 

 pods are decidedly larger and many more of them to the plant. 

 The peas are very large and are closely crowded in the pod. 

 Height 14 inches. Qt., 30 cts. ; 4 qts., Si- 10 ; peck, $1.90 ; 

 bu., S7-6o. 



American Wonder. A very fine, extra early, wrinkled 

 variety. The flavor and quality of the peas are excellent, and 

 its dwarf habit of growth makes it a desirable sort; height 10 

 inches. Qt., 30 cts. ; 4 qts., $1. 10; peck, $1.90; bu., $7.60. 



Surprise Pea. The vines grow about two feet high, and 

 do not require any support ; they are literally loaded down 

 with pods, which, while not so large, are well filled with 

 beautiful peas of most delicious quality, tender and sweet. 

 Qt.,30cts.; 4 qts, Si- 10; peck, $1.90; bu., S7.60. 



Sutton's Excelsior. This handsome wrinkled Pea is so 

 hardy that it may safely be planted as early as the hard seeded 

 "Extra Earlies." The plants grow about 14 inches high, 

 very stout and exceedingly productive. It makes the largest 

 pods of any of the low-growing wrinkled Peas, and matures 

 nearly as early as Nott's Excelsior, but bears broader pods, 

 and the foliage is a lighter shade of green. Qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts. , 

 Si. 25 ; peck, $2 00; bu., S8.00. 



Gracilis, or Prosperity Pea. This fine, extra early, 

 combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also 

 very productive. The smooth varieties of Extra Early Peas 

 have heretofore filled their place in a way, as they could be 

 planted very early ; but there has been the need of an " extra 

 early" which would also have that sweetness and fine flavor 

 of the wrinkled varieties. "Gradus" fills this want. Vines 



3 feet in height, bearing pods fully as large as Telephone, 

 usually containing from 8 to 10 large peas. Qt., 40 cts.; 



4 qts., S'-50; peck, S2.50 ; bu., S'O.co. 

 The Leader. This variety is a careful selection of the 



Gradus type, having been produced by selecting the rounder 

 seeds of that variety. It is of robust growth and produces an 

 abundance of large pods, which are well tilled with deliciously 

 sweet peas. It is fully as early as Gradus and pods usually 

 are larger and more of them. Qt., 5° cts.; 4 qts. , Si-75 ; 

 peck, $3 00; bu., $12.00. 

 Sutton's Green Gem. An excellent variety, bearing 

 large dark green pods and maturing nearly as early as Ameri- 

 can Wonder. (Irows only 12 to 14 inches high, but is more 

 productive than many of the taller-growing sorts. Qt., 50 

 cts. ; 4 qts., Si 75 ; peck, S3. 00; bu., $12.00.
