Prices subject to change without notice. 



One quart will plant 100 feet of row; from one to two bushels per acre. 

 Culture. — Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop, a rich, deep loam 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 in February or Alarch; continue for a succession 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, planted in rows 1 foot apart. 



Extra Early Varieties 



Schultz's Big Marvel 



This is the earliest 



large-podded Pea in 



cultivation. ■ The peas are tender, sweet, of extra 

 size; pods average 5 inches long and contain from 

 seven to nine peas of enormous size and excellent 

 qualitv. Height 2 feet. Pkt. 10c. , pt. 35c., qt. 

 60c., 4 qts. S2.25, pk. 154.00, bus. S13.50. 



1 a-vf nnian -'^ ^©w dwarf Gradus. This is the 

 JL-dAHJnicin i^j.ggst podded of all the early dwarf 

 varieties and is a new sort of decided merit. The 

 vines are vigorous, growing about 16 inches high 

 and produce a large crop of good-sized pods, averag- 

 ing from 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas are of 

 exquisite flavor and mature early. Many people 

 who have tried Laxtonian consider it superior to 

 either Gradus or Thomas Laxton, and claim it to be 

 the best of all the early dwarf sorts. It is certainly 

 worth a trial. Pkt. lOc, pt. 35c,, qt. 60c., 4 qts. 

 S2.25, pk. S4.00, bus, $13.50. 



Can be planted fully 



two weeks earlier than 



Gradus, withstanding the cold, wet grounds without 

 rotting, and while not a wrinkled sort, the pods and 

 peas are almost equal in size and flavor to Gradus. 

 The vines, which are vigorous in growth, attain a 

 height of 3 feet. Pkt. 10c. , pt. 30c., qt. 60c., 4 qts.

Extra Early Pilot 



New Wonderful Peas 



Wrkn/ltfkffiil The earliest and most pro- 

 A^eW YVOnaerrUl ^uctive of all extra early 

 Peas. Introduced by us in 1906. This variety is of 

 extremely robust growth, and produces an abundance 

 of very large pods, filled with deliciously sweet Peas. 

 It is fully as early as Alaska. Pods are usually larger, 

 with more of them per plant, and it has decided ad- 

 vantage in being more hardy; being a round-seeded 

 variety, it may be sown earlier. Height 3 feet.
