 Culture. — Pea? mature earliest in a light, rich soil: for general crop, a rich, deep loam is best. Sow in double 

 rows 6 to S 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 Febrtiary or March: continue for a succession everj- two 

 weeks tmtil June, then discontinuing tmtil the middle of Augtist. when a good crop may be secured by sowing the 

 extra ^arly and early sorts for Fall use. They shotild be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The 

 wrii'kled varieties are not as hardy as the small, round sorts, and if planted early should have dry soil, or they 

 are lia'de to rot in the ground: thev are, however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties 

 are best suited for small gardens, planted in rows 1 foot apart.

T avfnni^n -'^ ^"'P""" dwarf Gradus. This is the 

 ^dAtv^iiiQiA podded of all the early dwarf 



varieties and is a new sort of decided merit. The 

 vines are vigorotis, 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 earh". 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. oc. and 10c. . pt. 50c. , qt. 90c..

Market Surprise 



New Wonderful Peas 



Nf»W Wonrlprful The earliest and most pro- 

 l>ieW YVOnaerrUi ^^^^^..^ p^^ra 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. 

 (See illustration foot of page). Pkt. 5c. and 10c. ,

It is extremely early, pro- 

 ducing large pods in abun- 

 dance which are filled with luscious green Peas_. The 

 robust growing vines grow 2^^ feet high, which re- 

 quire no staking. The peas are ready for picking a 

 week ahead of Prosperity or Gradus, producing pods 

 which contain eight to nine fine peas of rich green 

 color. This is the pea that all progressive gardeners 

 are looking for as it is very hardy, extremely early, 

 large podded and a prolific bearer, making it a quick 

 basket filler. The peas are of excellent flavor, sweet 

 and delicious. Pkt. oc. and 10c. , pt. 35c., qt. 60c..
