Boddington's Early Bird Peas 



FIRST DIVISION EXTRA-EARLY PEAS, continued 



Taller Varieties. 2^4 to 4 feet 



Boddington's Early Bird (Novelty 1908). A round-seeded Pea of the Gradus type, embodying the hardiness of a 

 2 i round variety, with the flavor and size of pod of Gradus. A grand Pea, the greatest ad- 

 vance in round varieties since the advent of Telegraph. Growers cannot fail to quickly see the advantages of this Pea for their 

 early work. This variety is a first-early cropper, producing deep green pods of the well-known Gradus type, but, on account of 

 its hardy constitution, may be sown early to great advantage in order to obtain very early results in the spring. It is a vigorous, 

 branching plant, growing 3 feet in height, and bears throughout the length of the haulm a large proportion of pods in pairs, which 

 contain fine, deep green peas of exquisite marrowfat flavor. A prominent gardener writes : " I want to say a word in favor of your 

 Early Bird. 1 saw it at a neighbor's and it is a grand, early pea." Pt. 30 cts., qt. 60 cts., )4pk. $2.25, pk. $4.
