Little Marvel 
An Improvement on Nott’s Excelsior and American Wonder. The Blunt 
Ended Pods are Deep Green Color, Borne in Pairs, Well-filled with Tender 
Wrinkled Peas 
174. This is the most prolific of the Early Dwarf Garden Peas, and we espe- 
cially recommend it to the home gardener. It is a decided improvement 
on the Wonder class because the pods—always borne in pairs—mature much 
earlier than either Nott’s Excelsior or American Wonder. The vines grow 
about eighteen inches high and both vine and pod are in color an extremely 
dark green, now so much in demand. We are quite sure Little Marvel 
will give satisfaction to everybody. It is well named “Little Marvel.” 
Price lde. pkt., 50e. pt., $1.00 qt. ; 
: Alaska Pea 
Medium Height, Extra Early, Very Productive 
144. Height, 2% feet. A wonderfully early, smooth, blue Pea; vines slender; 
pods very dark green, about 3 inches long, well filled with small, smooth, 
blue-green Peas. The earliness, uniformity in ripening and deep color 
render it a desirable market and canning Pea. Price, 10c. pkt., 40e. pt., 
foe. qt., $2.50 for 4 peck, 
$4.75 peck. 
Melting 
Marrow Pea 
Dwarf, Early, Easily 
Grown. Pods Large. 
Peas Delicious. Equal to 
Any Tall Later Sorts 
176. One of the newer 
dwarf varieties that pro- 
duces Peas equal in size 
and rich, “melting mar- 
row” flavor to the best of the later sorts. It is admirable for a second 
early crop, and is so vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, that it may 
be safely relied on, not only for early use, but for successive sowings 
throughout the entire season when Peas can be grown. The pods are very 
large and are produced in- prodigal abundance. They are always bounti- 
fully filled with very large Peas of a rich, inviting green color, of perfect 
flavor. It is one of the easiest to care for. The vines are only 15 or 18 
inches high, so that it does well without support. Price, lde. pkt., 50e. pt., 
90c. qt., $3.25 for % peck, $5.75 peck. 
9 e Early, Big Cropper 
Nott’s Excelsior Pea Ext, Fine Ouslity 
179. <A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous constitu- 
tion; enormously productive, and generally excellent. The pods are of 
good size, produced liberally, and are well filled with excellent Peas of 
perfect quality. The plant is among the smallest, very rarely exceeding 
{5 inches in height, and is easily grown. It still is, and long will be, ex- 
tremely popular. Many people who have only small gardens use this sort 
exclusively, making repeated sowings for successive crops. Price, 10¢. pkt., 
*% 50¢e. pt., 90¢. qt., $3.25 for 1% peck, $5.75 peck.

Dwarf yer" ’pea Laxtonian 
A Grand, Early, Dwarf Pea—Enormous Pods—The Largest of Peas 
171. Dwarf Peas have always been very popular with the American 
gardener. This preference has been maintained in spite of the fact 
the later and taller sorts, which, of course, require artificial sup- 
port for their best cultivation. This lack of quality has been quite 
overcome by Laxtonian, as it produces a pod which compares 
favorably with the best of the later and taller sorts. The vine 
is only eighteen inches high, which makes it possible for any — 
one to raise the largest Peas very early in the season on a small 
area, and with very little effort. . : 
The pods are not only large, but are always well filled with 
"\ Peas of great size and remarkably good quality. The crop 
£ is ready for use about a week later than the earliest sorts. 
F By sowing this variety at intervals of 10 days up to the 
end of May, a very satisfactory supply of Peas may be 
raised for continuous use. (See engraving.) 
Price, 15e. pkt., 55e pt., $1.00 at., $3.50 1% peck, $6.50 peck. 
If part of your garden is higher, warmer, or better drained than the rest, reserve it for your crop of earliest vegetables. 
Your garden will be ready for working a week earlier in spring if it was dug up in the fall.
