Three quarts of seed to 100 yards of row. One 

 and a half to two bushels to the acre. 



Culture — Sow as early as the ground can be 

 worked, and again every ten days or two weeks 

 in succession. They can be sown as late as the 

 20th of August for the last sowing, using Extra 

 Earlies. Sow in rows about 4 feet apart and 1 

 inch apart in the row and 3 to 4 inches deep. 



Extra-Early Alaska — The earliest blue pea. 

 The dark green color of the pods makes it ex- 

 tremely desirable, as it can be carried long dis- 

 tances without losing color, which quality, com- 

 bined with its earliness and uniformity of ripen- 

 ing, makes it a most desirable pea for market 

 gardeners. Height 2 feet. Pint 30c; quart 50c; 

 peck $2.50; bushel $9.00. 



Little Marvel — As regards Little Marvel peas, this 

 variety we can recommend as being one of the very 

 best short-vine peas introduced. The vines are 

 about a foot high, very stocky, and the pods are 

 large and well filled with large peas of excellent 

 quality. We consider this variety far superior to 

 American Wonder or Xott's Excelsior, and when 

 they are better known they will be in great demand. 

 Pint 35c ; quart 60c ; peck $3.50 ; bushel $12.25. 



Nott's Excelsior — One of the best early dwarf 

 peas. It combines the good qualities of the Ameri- 

 can Wonder and Premium Gem Peas. Pint 35c; 

 quart 60c; peck $3.00; bushel $11.25. 



Long Podded Alaska — Xew, vigorous, handsome, 

 long-podded, delicious flavored Alsaka Pea. Bound 

 to become extremely popular, for it has all the good 

 qualities of famous Extra Early Alaska Pea, and 

 in addition, it has a well-filled pod almost twice as 

 long, which will fill the basket in one-half the time, 

 and while it is not a distinctly sugar pea, yet it 

 has a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is an 

 abundant yielder. Pint 35c; quart 60c; peck $2.75; 

 bushel $10.00. 



Gradus, or Prosperity — Probably the best extra- 

 early pea yet introduced. Only 2 or 3 days later 

 than Alaska, and a wrinkled pea of excellent 

 qualitv. Pint 35c; quart 60c; peck $2.75 ; bushel 

 $10.50. 



Extra-Early Pilot — The pods and peas are nearly 

 as large as those of Gradus, and are produced three 

 days earlier. They can be planted much earlier 

 than Gradus, and while not wrinkled the peas are 

 almost equal in flavor. Three feet high- Pint 35c ; 

 quart 60c; peck $3.00; bushel $11.00.
