GARDEN PEAS ^rbsen. Ger. 



CULTURE. — Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop, a rich deep loam or inclining to clay is 

 best. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence 

 sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked m February or March; continue for a succes- 

 sion every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by 

 sowing the 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 the small round sorts, and if planted early should have dry soil, or they are 

 liable to rot in the ground ; they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best 

 suited for small gardens or for forcing, planted in rows i foot apart.

EXTRA EARLY VARIETY 



New Wonderful Peas 



THE EARLIEST AND MOST PRODUCTIVE OF ALL EXTRA 

 EARLY PEAS 

 Extra Large Pod, Deep Green Color 



* 



This Pea was introduced in 1906 to a few truckers who planted 

 it for a trial, and it has without question proven to be a wonderful 

 new Pea. It is as early as the well-known Alaska, and bears pods 

 like the Telephone. Its stocky vine and dwarf habit puts it ahead 

 of anything thus far brought out in the class of early semi-Wrinkled 

 Peas. The seed is green, similar to Pride of the Market, though 

 somewhat more dented. It can be planted earlier than the Gradus 

 or Thomas Laxton, therefore can be marketed ahead of these pop- 

 ular sorts. Earliness, combined with productiveness, large pods 

 grown on a short, stocky vine, is what makes the Wonderful 

 unique among semi- Wrinkled Peas. It will be a satisfaction to 

 the market gardener while he picks it, and a source of profit 

 when he sells it. Half pt., lOc; i pt., 20c.; qt., 40c.; 4 qts., $1.50; 

 I pk., $3.00; I bushel, $12.00. 



Prosperity or Gradus This Pea is a most marked advance and 



improvement in wrinkled Peas. It is 

 remarkable for the size and fullness of its pods, yielding an 

 abundant supply of large Wrinkled Peas, which are of most deli- 

 cious flavor. The vines grow about two feet high, have heavy 

 stems, stand upright, and do not require staking. The Peas re- 

 main edible, tender and sweet for some time after they reach ma- 

 turity. Pt., 25c.; qt., 40C.; gal., $1.50; pk., $3.00; bushel. $12.00. 

 Thomas Laxton 'J^^^ splendid new English variety closely re- 

 sembles the Gradus in habit and rapidity of 

 growth, earliness and luxuriance of foliage. It is, however, even 

 more productive than the Gradus, and has proved with me to be 

 a sure cropper. The pods are large, but a little shorter than 

 Gradus, and instead of being rounded at the point are square or 

 blunt, being even better filled than the Gradus. Pt., 25c.; qt., 40c.; 

 gal., $1.50; pk., $3.00; bushel, $12.00. 



Earliest of All, or Alaska y.^^^s two by two and one-half feet 



high, ripening all the crop together. 

 Pods straight, handsome and well filled with bright green Peas of 

 excellent flavor. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c.; gal., $1.00; pk., $2.00; bu., $7.00. 

 American Wonder One of the earliest of Wrinkled Peas, and 

 excellent for family use. The vines grow 

 about nine inches high, are of robust nature and remarkably pro- 

 ductive. Pt., 20c.; qt., 40c.; gal., $1.50; pk., $2.50; bushel, $10.00. 

 Nott's Excelsior standard variety of Wrinkles Peas, coming 

 m a few days later than the American Won- 

 der, but bearing larger pods and being more prolific than that va- 

 riety. Vines dwarf in habit, growing about a foot in height; of 

 vigorous constitution and wonderfully productive. Pt., 20c.; qt., 

 40c.; gal., $1.50; pk., $2.50; bushel, $10.00. 



Premium Gem favorite early wrinkled variety, dwarf habit, 



bears abundantly and is of excellent quality, be- 

 ing sweet and tender. Height, one foot. Pt., 20c.; qt., 40c.; gal., 

 $1.50; pk., $2.50; bushel, $10.00.
