CuLTURE—Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop, a rich deep loam, or inclin- 

 ing 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 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 or for forcing, planted in rows 1 foot apart. 



EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 



PROSPERITY, OR ORADUS This Pea is a moat 

 marked advance and improvement in wrinkled Peas. It is re- 

 markable for the size and fullness of its pods, yielding an abund- 

 ant supply of large wrinkled peas, which are of most delicious 

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

 stand upright, and do not require staking. The peas remain 

 edible, tender and eweet for some time after they reach maturity. 

 The Prosperity, or Gradus, Pea is considered, altogether, one of 

 the most valuable improvements that has been made in wrinkled 

 Peas in recent years. It is remarkably productive and is coming 

 into very general use by truckers and market-gardeners. Pt., 

 15cts; qt., 30cts; gal., $1.15; peck, $2.00; bushel, $8.(0. 



XHOI9IAS I^AXXOX This splendid new English variety 

 closely resembles the Gradus in habit and rapidity of growth, earli- 

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

 ductive 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, while its sure cropping and extra 

 productiveness will commend it to all growers as one of the best 

 and most productive early wrinkled Peas in cultivation. Pt., 15cts; 

 qt., 30cts;" gal., $1.15; peck, $2.00; bushel, $8.00. . 



BARUBST OF AI^I^, OR AI^ASKA I have a fine 

 stock of this smooth, blue pea, of unequaled evenness in growth 

 of vine and early maturity of pods. Vines two by two and one- 

 half feet high, ripening all the crop together. Pods straight, hand- 

 some and well filled with bright green peas of excellent flavor. 

 The seed is small, smooth and bluish-green. A very popular sort 

 especially for Market Gardeners and Canners. Pt. , lOcts; qt. , 15cts; 

 gal., 50cts; peck, 90cts; bushel, $3.50. 



FIRST AND BBST, OR TRIUMPH Vines vigor- 

 ous and hardy, two to two and one-half feet high. The seed is 

 medium sized, smooth, yellowish-white; the pods mature so well 

 together that a single picking will secure the whole crop. Pt., lOcts; 

 qt., 15cts; gal., 40cts; peck, 75cts; bushel, $3.00. 



AMBRICAN WOXDER 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 productive. 

 Pt., 15cts; qt., 25cts; gal., 75cts; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00. 



XOTT'S BX)CBESIOR A standard variety of wrinkled 

 Peas, coming in a few days later than the American Wonder, but 

 bearing larger pods and being more prolific than that variety. 

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

 constitution and wonderfully productive. Pt., 15cts; qt., 25cts; 

 gal., 80cts; peck, $1.40; bushel, $5.50. 



McLrEAN'S IvITTI^E GEBI A favorite early wrinkled 

 variety, maturing a little later than the American W onder. Dwarf 

 habit, bears abundantly, and is of excellent quality, being sweet 

 and tender. Height, one foot. Pt , 15cts; qt., 25cts; gal., 70cts; 

 peck, $1.25; bashel, $5.00.
