CULTURE. Peas mature 

 earliest in light, rich, soil. For 

 general crop use a rich, deep 

 loam or inclining to clay is 

 best. When grown in garden 

 sow in double rows 6 to 8 

 inches apart; the rows 2 to 4 

 feet apart. Commence sowing 

 the extra early varieties as 

 early as the ground can be 

 worked in February or March: 

 transplant for a succession 

 every two weeks until June, 

 then discontinue until the mid- 

 dle of August, when a good crop 

 may be secured by sowing extra 

 early and eai-ly sorts for fall 

 use. They should be kept clean 

 and earthed up twice during the 

 growth. The wrinkled varieties 

 are not as hardy as the small, 

 round sort, and if planted early 

 should have a dry soil or they 

 are liable to rot in the ground. 

 They are, however, the sweet- 

 est and best flavored varie- 

 ties. The dwarf varieties are 

 best suited for small gardens.

Extra Early Alaska. 



The earliest of all smooth 

 green peas, having the best 

 color when shelled and the 

 best quality when cooked. The 

 dark green color of the pods 

 make it extremely desirable, 

 as it can be carried long dis- 

 tances without losing its color, 

 which quality, combined with 

 its earliness and uniformity 

 of ripening, make it one of 

 the best early peas for mar- 

 ket gardeners. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 pt. 30 cts.; qt. 50 cts.; pk. 

 $3.50; bus. $12.00.

 Pedigree, but much more pro- 

 ductive. Beautiful large pods, 

 fine quality, one of the best 

 peas ever introduced. Height 

 214 feet. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 

 cts.; qt. 40 cts.; peck $2.65; 

 bushel $9.50. 



Wonderful Extra Early. 



This pea has proven itself to 

 be a decided acquisition to the 

 list of peas. It is as early 

 as the Alaska; bears long, 

 well-filled pods. While not 

 a wrinkled pea, it takes some- 

 what of the character of these. 

 It can be planted as early as 

 the Alaska — vines grow stiff 

 and upright. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 

 25 cts.; qt. 45 cts.; peck, $2.85; 

 bushel $10.50.
