PEAS. 



NOTICE.— In ordering Peas to be sent by mail, please add Sc. per pint to pay postage. 



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 tlie richness of tlie 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 poles 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 



(In Sealed Bags, Thoroughly Rogued and Hand-Picked.) 



THIS is the earliest o> all and the most profitable early market Pea, because 

 of its early maturity, uniformity of growth and ripening and its pro- 

 ductiveness. It ripens up so evenly as only to require about two pickings 

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

 vision, 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 is largely used by 

 private families. Our sales of this sort increase annually. 



Pint, 15c. Quart, 30c. Peck, ifl.50. Bushel, $5.75. 

 NEW LARGE PODDED ALASKA. — In general habit and growth resembles 

 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 tlieir 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. Quart, 30c. Peck, $:i.CO. Bushel, .fT.OO. 



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

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

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

 as it can be carried long distances without losing color.
