One quart will plant 100 feet of drill. One and one-half bushels to an acre. 



Culture. Peas mature earliest in a 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, and tall ones requiring brush. 

 Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in 

 February or March; continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then dis- 

 continuing until the middle of August, when a good crop maj' be secured by sowing 

 the extra early and early sorts for fall use. They should be liept clean and earthed 

 up twice during the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small 

 round sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in 

 the ground; they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf 

 varieties are the best suited for small gardens or for forcing; planted in rows one 

 foot agart. 



Bolgiano's Extra Early Triumph Peas. The earliest of ail; uniform and 



prodtictive. The success of our Extra Early Triumph Peas has been sur- 

 prising. It has distanced every other early pea. Large truckers have 

 found it to be the best variety, and our large stocks have never been equal 

 to the demand for them. Every progressive grower should have them. 

 Pt., 10 cents; qt., 15 cents; gal., 40 cents; peck, 70 cents; bu., $2.75. 



Extra Early Alaslia. 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 makes it extremely desirable, as it can be carried 

 long distances without losing color, which quality, combined with its 

 earliness and iniiformity of ripening, make it one of the best extra early 

 peas for truckers and market gardeners. Pt., 10 cents; qt. , 15 cents; 

 gal., 50 cents; peck, 85 cents; bu., $3.00. 



Extra Early Morning Star Pea. Has been ready for picking in 42 days 

 from the date of planting, which makes it the earliest pea in cultivation. 

 It withstands severest changes in weather, pods are perfect and filled, and 

 the entire crop may be gathered for the earliest shipments. Many of 

 our largest customers use this pea, and it gives them satisfaction. Pt., 

 10 cents, qt., 15 cents; gal., 40 cents, peck, 70 cents; bu., $2.75. 



Extra Early GradUS Peas. The very best extra early wrinkled pea ever introduced; it produces pods equal in 

 size to the well-known Telephone, quality and productiveness equal to that well-known variety. The vines are 

 of vigorous, robust growth, about 2/^ feet high, thick stems and luxuriant foilage; it bears large, handsome 

 pods, with immense luscious peas, remaining sweet and tender for a long time after they are fit to pick. You 

 cannot afford to be without this pea. A prominent shipper of this city stated that he could not supply the demand 

 to the northern cities. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 30 cents; gallon, $1.00; peck, $1.80; bushel, $7.00. 



American Wonder. This variety stands unrivaled in point of productiveness, flavor and quality, and is, with- 

 out exception, the earliest wrinkled pea in cultivation. It is of dwarf and robust habit, growing from 10 to 15 

 inches high, and produces a profusion of good-sized and well-filled pods of finest flavor. Requires liberal fertiliz- 

 ing. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 65 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00. 



Premium Gem. This variety is nearly as early as the American Wonder, and the vine is decidedly larger, 

 growing from 12 to 16 inches, and bearing an immense crop of pods, which are larger and invaribly filled with 

 peas of best quality. The dry peas are green, large, wrinkled, often flattened. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; 

 gallon, 70 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00.
