PEAS — Extra Early Varieties 



Extremely Early Long-Podded Alaska. An entirely 

 new, vigorous, handsome, long-podded, delicious flavored 

 Alaska pea. Bound to become extremely popular, for it has 

 all the good qualities of our Famous Extra Early Alaska 

 Pea, and in addition it has a well-filled, long pod, which will 

 fill the basket quickly, and while it is not a distinctly sugar 

 pea, yet it has a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is 

 abundant yielder. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 2.5 cts.; qt. 45 cts.; 4 qts. 

 $1.60; peck $3.00; bushel $11.00. 



Pilot Peas. As 

 early as the best se- 

 1 e c t e d , small and 

 smooth seeded extra 

 early varieties. The 

 pods and peas are near- 

 ly as large as those of 

 the Gradus and are 

 produced three days 

 earlier. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

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

 peck $3.50; bushel 

 $12.00. 



Extra Early 

 Gradus or Pros- 

 perity Peas. The very 

 best extra early wrin- 

 kled pea ever intro- 

 duced. It produces pods 

 equal in size to the 

 well known Telephone. 

 Quality and productive- 

 ness equal to that well 

 known variety. The 

 vines are of vigorous, 

 robust growth about 

 21/2 feet high, thick

Extra Early 

 Thomas Laxton. An 



extra early wrinkled marrow of excellent qualitj., and a 

 valuable addition to the very early varieties. It is three 

 feet high and somewhat more vigorous in habit than Pros- 

 perity. The pods are medium to large, blunt-ended and filled 

 to the tip with large peas of ti-ue, rich "marrow" flavor. Its 

 strong vine and heavy cropping character make it very suit- 

 able for an early crop in the private garden. It may be used 

 to great advantage as an immediate successor to Gradus.

 gardeners are longing for. The vines are deep dark green 

 in color, very luxuriant in appearance. Pods 5^/^ to 6 inches 

 long, filled with beautiful deep dark green peas of large 

 size and most delicious flavor. The pods retain their deep 

 dark green color long after picking. Its heartiness and fine

 deners. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; peck $3.75;
