£arly Varieties. 



Dreer's Eureka Extra Early. (5c<? cut.) One of 

 the earliest and most prolific extra early varieties, which has 

 given the best results wherever grown. It is an extremely 

 even cropper, and can be gathered clean in two pickings. For 

 a late fall crop it has few equals ; height 20 inches. Qt. , 30 

 cts.; 4qts., $1.00; peck, S1.50; bu., ^6.00. 



Dreer's Extra Early Electric. A variety of the 



green-seeded Alaska type, but a great improvement, being 

 much earlier than the Alaska and bearing larger pods. The 

 vines grow about 2 feet high, and are loaded down with pods, 

 which are crowded with large peas, closely shouldered in pod. 

 Good also for fall crop. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., gl.oo; peck, 

 $1.50; bu., $6.00. 



Alaska. An extra early round pea, bearing pods of a dark 

 green color, which are well filled and ripen uniformly ; height 

 2 feet. Qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 85 cts. ; peck, $1.45; bu., $5.80. 



Nott's Excelsior. {See cut.) An improvement on American 

 Wonder, being as early and the pods are decidedly larger and 

 many more of them to the plant; height 14 inches. Qt., 30 

 cts.; 4 qts.. Si. 00; peck, gl.6o; bu., $6.40. 



American Wonder. A very fine, extra early, wrinkled 

 variety. The flavor and quality of the peas are excellent, and 

 its dwarf habit of growth makes it a desirable sort; height 12 

 inches. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., Jl.oo; peck, $1.60; bu., $6.40. 



Surprise Pea. The vines grow about two feet high, and 

 do not require any support ; they are literally loaded down 

 with pods, which are well filled. Qt. , 30 cts.; 4 qts., §1.00; 

 peck, $1.60; bu., S6.40. 



The Lieader. This variety is a careful selection of the 

 Gradus type, having been produced by selecting the rounder 

 seeds of that variety; height 3 feet. Qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., 

 S1.30; peck, $2.25; bu., $9.00. 



— Qer. Erbsen. 



Gradus, or Prosperity Pea. This fine, extra early, 

 combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also 

 very productive. The smooth varieties of Extra Early Peas 

 have filled their place in a way, as they could be planted verj- 

 early, but there has been the need of an '■^ extra early" which 

 would also have that sweetness and fine flavor of thfe wrinkled 

 varieties. "Gradus" fills this want. Vinet 3 feet in height. 

 Qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., Si. 25; peck, S2.00; bu., S8.00. 



Buttercup. A new variety which matures in about sixty- 

 five days. Vines are about 2 feet in height, medium green 

 color and bear large crops. Pods are long and well filled 

 with large peas which are tender and sweet. Qt. , 35 cts.; 

 4 qts., SI-2S; peck, $2. 00; bu., $8.00. 



The "Thomas Laxton." A fine, large, English 

 wrinkled pea. The plant is a strong grower, producing the 

 large pods in abundance. The quality is delicious and cannot 

 be surpassed by any other variety; height, 3 feet. Qt., 35 cts.; 

 4 qts., Si. 25; peck, §2. 00; bu., S8.00. 



Early Morn. An English variety of the Gradus type with 

 many desirable qualities. The peas are large, closely packed 

 in the pod, and the flavor is sweet and delicious; height 3 feet. 

 Qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., Si-2S; peck, $2.00; bu., S8.00. 



Sutton's Excelsior. This handsome wrinkled Pea is so 

 hardy that it may safely be planted as early as the hard-seeded 

 "Extra Earlies." The plants grow about 14 inches high, 

 very stout and exceedingly productive. It makes the largest 

 pods of any of the low-growing wrinkled Peas, and matures 

 nearly as early as Nott's Excelsior. Qt. , 30 cts.; 4 qts.. 

 Si. 00; peck, Si -75; bu., S7.00. 



L/ittle Marvel. For the early crop, this variety is belter 

 than American Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, as it matures 

 earlier and the pods contain more peas. It is dwarf, about 

 IS inches high, plants are very productive, bearing many twin 

 pods, which are dark green. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., Jl.oo; peck, 

 S1.75; bu., S7-00. 



Market Surprise. A new dwarf English Pea, growing 

 about 30 inches high and producing a great quantity of long 

 pods, which are well filled with Peas of sweet flavor. Qt. , 

 30 cts.; 4 qts.. Si. 00; peck. Si. 75; bu., S7.00.

 wrinkled variety, an improvement on the Little Gem^ pods
