Dreer's Selected Garden Peas 



EARLY EIGHT WEEKS, In our trials this Pea 

 was ready for picking before any of the other 

 extra early varieties and the quality all that could 

 be asked for in a smooth extra early Pea. The 

 vines were very dwarf, growing only 12 to 15 inches 

 in height and loaded down with the 'well filled 

 pods, which were quite large in size for so early a 

 variety. The pods should be picked from vines 

 while they are in a young state of growth, at which 

 time the peas are exceedingly tender and of a most 

 delicious flavor. 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.0O; 100 lbs., 

 $24.00. 



ALASKA. An extra early round Pea, bearing pods 

 of a dark green color, which are well filled; height 

 2 feet. 2 lbs., SO cts.; 10 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., §18.00. 



AMERICAN "WONDER. On*e of the earliest of the 

 dwarf wrinkled Peas. Excellent quality. Height, 

 12 inches. 2 lbs., 60 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $22.00. 



GRADUS, OR PROSPERITY. This variety combines 

 the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also 

 very productive. It is hardy and can be planted as 

 early as the smooth Peas. Grows vigorous and 

 healthy, vines about 3 feet in height, bearing pods 

 fully as large as Telephone, well filled with beauti- 

 ful light green Peas. 2 lbs., 60 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 

 100 lbs., $22.00. 



THOMAS LAXTON. An early variety of wrinkled 

 Peas which produces many pods that will measure 

 four inches in length and are well filled with large 

 Peas, -which are of delicious flavor. The plants are 

 very hardy and grow to a height of 3 feet. 2 lbs., 

 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $24.00. 



LITTLE MARVEL. Better than American Wonder 

 or Nott's Excelsior; matures earlier and the pods 

 contain more peas. Height, 15 inches. 2 lbs., 00 

 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $22.00. 



SLRPRISE. This is one of the earliest and sweetest 

 of the wrinkled sorts. Vines grow about two feet 

 high and are extremely productive. 2 lbs., 60 cts.; 

 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $22.00.

 ing nearly 3 inches; height 14 inches. 2 lbs., 60 cts.;

 productive. The pods are large, well filled and 

 peas are of excellent flavor. 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., 

 $3.00; 100 lbs., $24.00. 



MARKET SURPRISE. Grows about 30 inches high 

 and produces a great quantity of pods, well filled 

 with Peas which are sweet and of good flavor. Ma- 

 tures the crop in about sixty days, and we consider 

 it one of the best extra early Peas. 2 -lbs., 70 cts.; 

 10 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $24.00. 



SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR. May safely be planted as 

 early as the hard-seeded "Extra Earlies." The 

 plants now grow about 14 inches high, and are 

 exceedingly productive. 2 lbs., 60 cts.; 10 lbs., $2,50; 

 100 lbs., $22.00. 



LAXTONIAN. May be classed as a Dwarf Gradus, 

 which variety it resembles, except that it only grows 

 about 18 inches high. Vines make vigorous growth, 

 which enables them to withstand weather conditions 

 unsuited to some varieties and the pods are well 

 filled with large Peas. While the crop does not 

 mature until a few days later than "Gradus" the 

 quality, of this new variety is equally as good. 

 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 10 lbs., $3.00; 100 lbs., $24.00. 



DREER'S EUREKA EXTRA EARLY. One of the earli- 

 est and most prolific extra early smooth varieties.

 taining 6 or 7 peas of fine flavor. 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 10 

 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs., $16.00.

 the green-seeded Alaska type, but earlier and bears 

 larger pods, which are dark green in color and well 

 filled; height 2 feet. 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 10 lbs., $2.25; 

 100 lbs., $18.00.
