EXTRA EARLY ALASKA PEAS. 



PEAS 



The dwarf varieties should be liberally manured; the tall sorts will run 

 too much to vine if heavily manured, it being better to depend on the rich- 

 ness of the land that was previously in good condition. Plant the dwarf 

 in rows two feet apart; those varieties attaining a height of from two to 

 three feet in rows three feet apart, and the rows of the tallest sort four 

 feet apart. Bushing the tall kind when six inches high, on po'es set every 

 six or eight feet, with twine fastened to them about four inches apart, 

 will answer finely. 



G. & T. Co.'s First Early Peas 



This is the earliest of all and the most profitable early market Pea, be- 

 cause of its early maturity, uniformity of growth, and ripening and its 

 productiveness. It ripens up so evenly as only to require about two pick- 

 ings to secure the crop. It is grown from selected stock, under our own 

 supervision, and the greatest care is exercised to keep it up to the highest 

 standard of quality. It is a great favorite with the truckers, and ic 

 largely used by private families. Our sales of this sort increase annually. 



NEW LARGE PODDED ALASKA. — In general habit and growth re- 

 sembles the well-known Alaska. Ripening about three days later, but with 

 much longer and thicker pods. Handsomely shaped, of a beautiful dark 

 green color, which is retained long after other varieties have lost their 

 usefulness. The seed is somewhat wrinkled and dented. We strongly 

 recommend this new Pea to gardeners, truckers and shippers as a most 

 productive and large extra early variety. 



ALASKA. — Our best rogued and hand-picked stock. Height, 26 inches. 

 The earliest Blue Pea; very uniform in growth and time of ripening. The 

 dark green color of pods makes this a most desirable sort for canners and 

 shippers, as it can be carried long distances without losing color. 



Early Bird Peas 



MARYLAND PRIDE PEAS. 



Recently introduced. Hardy, prolific, early. Earlier than Alaska or First 

 and Best. Large podded and very prolific. Pine luscious flavor. Hardi- 

 ness unsurpassed. 



FIRST AND BEST. — Height, 2% feet. Grown with special care. One of 

 the earliest varieties. 



BOUNTIFUL. — Ripening about three to four days later than extra early 

 sorts. Much longer and thicker pods. Beautifully shaped, dark green color 

 which is retained after earlier varieties have turned grey. Seed dented, 

 and we recommend this pea to all market gardeners and truckers. 



PEDIGREE EXTRA EARLY. — Introduced several years ago, has steadily 

 increased in favor until now the truckers all want it. Early as Alaska, large 

 pods, white seeded, very prolific. All mature at one time and can be gath- 

 ered in one picking. 



PROLIFIC EARLY MARKET. — New. Recently introduced. The finest, 

 largest and most prolific extra early variety. Larger than Alaska, nearly 

 as early, quite as prolific. Handsome pods, which command the highest 

 prices. Just the pea for the trucker, market gardener and family garden. 



Large Podded Extra Early Sugar Variety 



MARYLAND PRIDE PEAS. — Introduced by us last season for the first 

 time, giving universal satisfaction to the market gardeners and shippers. 

 Pods large, of a deep green color and nearly as early as Alaska. 



THOMAS LAXTON. — Habit and growth same as ORADUS, but pods 

 are a deeper green color, square at the ends, having fine flavor. 



IMPROVED THOMAS LAXTON PEAS. — Larger, better and greener 

 than THOMAS LAXTON. 



ORADUS, OR PROSPERITY Pale Green Wrinkled. The must attrac- 

 tive novelty of recent years. Large, handsome pods, well filled, ripening 

 with the earliest and of vigorous habit.
