162 FIRST-OF-ALL, 



(Henderson's) 



Beyond All Question the Earliest 

 Pea Grown. 



The extreme earliness of First-of-All 

 emphatically distinguishes it from all others. 



WTiile it lacks the "marrow" flavor 

 of the larger and later sorts, it has a sweet- 

 ness peculiar to its class, and a flavor 

 which is preferred by many. Anyway, 

 First-of-All may be eaten and the crop re- 

 moved while other sorts are maturing. 

 The slim, 3-foot vines permit close plant- 

 ing; it may be planted as soon as_ frost leaves 

 the ground. 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c; 

 8 lbs. S2.25; 15 lbs $4.00; transportation 

 paid. 



166 JUBILANT 



(Henderson*s) 



One of the Best Second Early Varieties. 



The Jubilant Pea is medium early, begin- 

 ning to bear a few days after our famous 

 Prosperity has .started. The plants, which 

 are extremely vigorous, grow to a height of 

 3J-2 to 4 feet. The large deep green pods 

 literally cover the vines. The pods, which 

 are easily shelled, are usually filled with 9 to 

 10 large luscious marrow peas of exquisite 

 flavor. 



The vigorous constitution of the plant 

 makes it practically immune to blight and 

 consequently tlie production of peas is ex- 

 tended over a long period. (See illustra- 

 tion.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85c: 

 8 lbs. S3.00; 15 lbs. $5.50; transportation 

 paid. 



171 LAXTONIAN 



(Early Marrow) 



A Grand Early, Dwarf Pea — Enormous 

 Pods — The Largest of Peas. 



(See description page 41 and colored plate 

 page 39.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85c; 

 8 lbs. S3.00; 15 lbs. $5.50. 



174 LITTLE MARVEL, 



(Early Dwarf) 



This is the mo.st prolific of the Early 

 Dwarf Garden Peas, and we especially 

 recommend it to the home gardener. 

 The pods — borne in pairs — -mature much 

 earlier than Nott's Excelsior. The vines 

 grow about 18 inches high and both vine and 

 pod are in color an extremely dark green, now 

 so much in demand. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85c; 

 8 lbs, S3.00;' 15 lbs. S5.50; transportation 

 paid. 



CULTU RE. — The dwarf early Peas are sown in rows two feet apart, the larger and mid- 

 season varieties in rows three feet apart and the tall late varieties in rows four feet apart; the 

 seed should be covered about two inches and the plants thinned to two inches apart in the row 

 2 lbs. for iOO feet of double drill, or 200 feet of single row. 



176 MELTING MARROW 



Equal in size and rich, "melting marrow" 

 flavor to the best of the later sorts. It is 

 admirable for a second early crop, and is so 

 vigorous, so sure to produce a good crop, 

 that it may be safely relied on, not only 

 for early use, but for successive sowings 

 throughout the entire season when Peas 

 can be grown. The pods are very large 

 and are produced in abundance. They 

 are always bountifully filled with very 

 large Peas of a rich, inviting green color, 

 of perfect flavor. It is one of the easiest 

 to care for. The vines are only 15 to 18 

 inches high, so that it does well without 

 support. 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 2 Ib.s. 75r; 

 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. S4.75; transportation 

 paid. 



179 NOTT'S EXCELSIOR 



Early Big Cropper, Ejctra Fine Quality. 



A distinctly American production of re- 

 markably vigorous constitution, enormou.sly 

 productive, and generally excellent. The 

 pods are of good size, produced liberally, 

 and are well filled with excellent Peas of 

 perfect quality. The plant is among 

 the smallest, very rarely exceeding 15 

 inches in height, and is easily grown. It 

 still is, and long will be, extremely popular. 

 Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 

 8 lbs. S2.75; 15 lbs. $4.75; transportation

 (See Color plate page 39 description page 41 ) 



188 SUTTON'S EXCELSIOR

 height. This is the most productive 

 variety in its class and an excellent pea 

 to follow the ver\' early varieties. The 

 dark green peas are rich in flavor, and 

 pods may be gathered continuously through 

 most of the growing season. 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c;
