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 early sorts for fall 

 use. They should be kept clean 

 and earthed up twice during the 

 growth. The wrinkled varieties 

 are not as hardy as Ihe 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.

Early Bird Peas 



Laxtonian Crop Failure. 

 PLEASE NOTE 



We regret that the crop of Laxtonian Peas is a complete 

 failure this year. We recommend to our customers in their 

 place Bolgiano's "Early Bird," whicli is of similar habit and 

 somewhat earlier. See full description page 7. Another 

 good pea that is often planted instead of Laxtonian is Thomas 

 Laxton. Our stock of these is extra fine. 



Little Marvel, vines of dwarf even growth, averaging 

 15 inches in height. Heavily set with fine pods and fre- 

 quently borne in pairs. Ready for table fully as early as 

 American Wonder; vines are larger and produce a much 

 hea\ier crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt. 55 cts.; peck, 

 $3.55; bushel, $12.50. 



Bolg iano' s 100% Profit Peas. Only grows i foot 

 high, but quickly pro- 

 duces an abundance of immense beautiful deep green pods, 

 filled with large delicious peas. "100% Profit" Peas are much 

 earlier, dwarfer, more prolific, deeper green color, and more 

 delicious in flavor than either the Thomas Laxton or the 

 Gradus Pea. Will make a lot of money quickly for the mar- 

 ket gardener and shippers to Northern markets. As a pea 

 for the home garden it is beyond de.scription. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 pt. 50 cts.; qt. 90 cts.; peck, $5.50; bushel, $20.00. 



Nott's Excelsior. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt. 50 cts.; 

 peck $3.50; bushel $12.00. 



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 peas 

 which are larger and invariablv filled with peas of best 

 quality. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; peck, $3.65; 

 bushel $13.25. 



American Wonder. This variety stands unrivaled in 

 point of productiveTless, flavor and quality, and is without 

 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 fine.st flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 45 cts.; peck 

 $3.00; bushel $11.00. 



McLean's Little Gem. Very early, prolific, delicious

ant cropper. Pkt. 10 cts. 

 bushel $13.50. 



pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; peck $3.70; 



Bolgiano's Extra Early Triumph. The earliest of all; 

 uniform and productive. The success of our Extra Early 

 Triumph Peas has been surprising. Large truckers have 

 found it most satisfactory. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 45 

 cts.; peck $3.00; bushel $11.00. 



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 makes it ex- 

 tremely desirable, as it can be carried long distances with- 

 out losing its color, which quality, combined with its earliness 

 and uniformity of ripening, make it one of the be.st early 

 peas for market gardeners. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt. 50 

 cts.; pk. $3.50; bushel $12.00. 



Prolific Early Market. 



Not quite so early as the 

 Pedigree, but much more pro- 

 ductive. Beautiful large pods, 

 fine quality, one of the best 

 peas ever introduced. Height 

 21^ 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 Ala.ska — vines grow stilT 

 and upright. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 

 25 cts.; qt. 45 cts.; peck, $3.15, 

 bushel $11.50.
