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 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 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 



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.

I o -vtrtrtian 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. 25c, qt. 50c,

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. 25c, qt. 50c, 4 qts.

Extra Early Pilot 



Nf»w WnnHprful The earliest an d most pro- 

 iwg wonaerrui ductive 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 deliriously sweet peas. 

 It is fuhy^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

 robust growing vines grow 2} 2 feet high, which 

 require no staking. The peas are ready for picking

 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. 25c, qt. 50c, 4 qts.

 peculiar, distinctive, light green tinge, are 2^ to 3 feet 

 high. Pods are dark green, 2y 2 inches long, straight, 

 round, and well filled with small, smooth, blue-green
