Early Dwarf Garden Pea 



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 Xott'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, 15c. pkt., 55c. pt., §1.00 qt. 



Alaska 



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., 40c. pt., 



75c. qt., $2.50 for y % peck., 

 $4.75 peck. 



Melting 

 Marrow 



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, 15c. pkt, 50c. pt., 90c. qt., $3.25 for % peck, $5.75 peck. 



Nott's Excelsior ££; %£&& 



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 

 15 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.

Laxtonian J%}* 



Marrow 

 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 

 that larger and often better Peas could be produced by growing 

 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 tilled with 



Peas of great size and remarkably good quality. The crop 



is ready for use about a week later than the earliest sorta 



By sowing this variety at intervals of 10 days up to the 



end of May, a very satisfactory supply of Peas maj 



raised for continuous use. (Sec engraving.)

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
