Johnson & Stokes' Selected Extra Early Peas. 



This Extra Early Pea, bearing our brand, is a careful selection of our own, and will be found 

 entirely distinct and superior to any other. Over 5,000 bushels of these peas are now annually sold by 

 us to the market gardeners of the United States. No other pea grown has such a record as this. For 

 several years past, we ourselves, and also many of the largest and most experienced truckers have 

 made comparative trials with other leading brands of extra early peas, and in every case Johnson & 

 Stokes' Extra Early was the first ready to pick by from three to five days. Our pea farm is situated in 

 Ontario, Canada, sixty-seven miles further north than any other, which largely contributes to their 

 extreme earliness and fine dwarf habit. The pod is of a dark green color, of a full round shape, and of 

 strong texture, which especially fits it for shipping long distances. On average ground it will not 

 exceed eighteen inches in height, and never more than two feet pn the richest soil. It does not require 

 stakes or brush of any kind for support. So evenly do the pods fill up, that frequently the entire crop 

 can be gathered at one picking, never more than two pickings, which is a very valuable feature for the 

 market gardener and trucker. All those requiring a pea to withstand extreme cold weather should not 

 fail to plant this sort. The far northern point at which it is grown renders it almost proof against cold, 

 and the best for early spring or late fall crop. While thousands of market gardeners have pronounced 

 this pea unequalled in earliness, yield and regularity of growth, and in every sense a perfect truckers' 

 pea, yet, at the same time, we know of no other variety more popular or better adapted to private 

 gardens. Pkt., loc; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., post-paid. Ot., 30c.; 2 qts., 50c.; 4 qts., 75c.; peck, $1.25;

Early Varieties. 



Those marked with a (*) are wrinkled varieties. 



BLUE BEAUTY. This new sort, though not as early 

 as our famous Johnson & Stokes' Selected Extra Early, still 

 has many points of merit to recommend it. It is a blue, 

 round pea, the pods are of medium size, are borne in great 

 profusion and are w^ell tilled. In quality and flavor it cannot 

 be surpassed by any other early smooth sort. Vines very 

 uniform in growth, rarely reacViing more than eighteen 

 inches. Pkt., lOc; pint, 2'5c.; qt., 45e.; peck, SI. 15; bush.,

CLEVELAND'S ALASKA. The earliest blue pea, very 

 uniform in growth. The dark green color of the pods makes

 extra early pea for market gardeners ; height, two feet. Pkt.,

 producing large well-filled pods; of fine flavor. Pkt., 10c.;;
