GARDEN PEAS e *> 



Peas. — If wanted by mail, add for postage, 4c. per pt., 8c. per qt. 



One quart will plant 100 feet of drill; 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 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 



Schultz's Big Marvel 



Laxtonian 



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 7 

 to 9 peas of enormous size and excellent quality. 

 Height 2 feet. (See illustration on page 2.) Pkt. 5c. 

 and 10c, pt. 15c, qt. 25c., 4 qts. 90c, pk. $1.75, 

 bus. $6.50. 



A new dwarf Gradus. This is the 

 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, 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. 5c. and 10c, pt. 15c, qt. 25c, 

 4 qts. 90c, pk. $1.75, bus. $6.50. 



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. 5c and 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 30c, 4 qts. 

 85c, pk. $1.50, bus. $5.50. 



Extra Early Pilot 



New Wonderful 



Thomas Laxton 



The earliest and most 

 productive 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. 5c. and 

 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 30c, y 2 pk. 75c, pk. $1.40, bus. 

 $5.00. 



/^--J.,- °r Prosperity. The most popular of the 

 long, large podded, wrinkled Peas. Of 

 the finest quality, and matures pods only a few days 

 later than the extra early smooth Peas. Vines grow 

 about 2J^ feet high; very large. Are of superior 

 quality in size and flavor. Always salable as a mar- 

 ket variety. Pkt. 5c and 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 30c, 



4 qts. 85c, pk. $1.50, bus. $5.50. 



This splendid English va- 

 riety closely resembles the 

 Gradus in habit and rapidity of growth, earliness and 

 luxuriance of foliage. It is however, even more pro- 

 ductive than the Gradus, and has proved to be a 

 sure cropper. The pods are large, square or blunt, 

 being even better filled than the Gradus. Height 3 

 feet. Pkt. 5c. and 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 30c, 4 qts. 

 85c, pk. $1.50, bus. $5.50. 



I iftlo Marvpl For the earliest crop this variety 



jj_ '' 1<lrVCI is better than either American 

 Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, as it matures earlier and 

 the pods contain more peas. It is dwarf, growing 

 about 15 inches high, and the plants are very produc- 

 tive, bearing many twin pods, which are dark green 

 in color. Pkt. 5c. and 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 30c, 4 qts. 

 85c, pk. $1.50, bus. $5.50.

Our Big Marvel and New Wonderful 



Peas are so well known and are so much 

 sought after that other firms are offer- 

 ing Peas under their names. We have 

 tested many of these and find some 

 entirely untrue and others of inferior 

 strain. Be sure to get our highly se- 

 lected type, which are procurable only 

 direct from us. S. S. S.
