One quart will plant 100 feet of row; from one to two oushels 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 March; 

 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 



This is the earliest 

 large-podded Pea 

 in cultivation. The Peas are tender, sweet, of 

 extra size; pods average 5 inches long and con- 

 tain from seven to nine Peas of enormous size 

 and excellent quality. Height 2 feet. Pkt. 10c, 

 pt. 30c, qt. 60c, 4 qts. $2.00, pk. $3.50, bus. $12.50. 

 I flYtnnifln A new dwarf Gradus. This is the 

 LflAlUI11(tn largest 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, averaging from 9 to 10 Peas to the 

 pod. The Peas are of exquisite flavor and ma- 

 ture early. Many people who have tried Laxton- 

 ian 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. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 55c, 4 qts. $1.75, 

 pk. $3.00, bus. $10.50.

£ two weeks earlier than 



Gradus, withstanding the cold, wet grounds with- 

 out 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

New Wonderful Peas 



W pw YV rvn r]#=»r fill Tne earliest and most pro- 

 Pi ew wonaerrui ductive of all extra early 



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

 extremely robust growth, and produces an abun- 

 dance 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 advantage in being more 

 hardy; being a round-seeded variety, it may be 

 sown earlier. Height 3 feet. (See illustration foot 

 of page). Pkt. 10c, pt. 25c, qt. 50c, % pk. $1.50,
