C. C. MORSE & CO. — SEEDS — SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 
Little Marvel Peas 
Peas are quite hardy and for very early markets can be planted in the fall in protected places, and ripe peas can be had in February 
They require moderately rich soil, but not excessively rich or wet, or they will run too much to vine and do not bear heavily. The seed 
needs to be planted thick, using from 80 to 150 pounds per acre for seed or vegetable crop, or one pound for 100 feet of row. 
The dwarf varieties can be planted in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and the tall ones three feet. By using the various classes of peas and 
by making several sowings of each, good peas can be had for a long season. In the garden the pods should be kept picked, as the plantj 
will then continue to bear longer. All varieties have wrinkled seed except Alaska, First and Best, Marrowfat and Melting Sugar. 
All charges are paid. See our Special Free Delivery offer on page 2.

BLUE BANTAM. This grand new pea recently 
introduced by us has given greatest satisfac- 
tion to many of our customers. Blue Bantam 
is a medium dwarf vine pea, early in bearing 
and having very long peas of a splendid deep- 
green color. Add to this productiveness the 
fact that Blue Bantam has the highest qual- 
ity, and is tender and unusually sweet when 
cooked, and you see why this pea is such a 
favorite. Fkt. 15c; lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50; 10O

short, well-filled pods; very early. Fkt. 10c; 
lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $10.00. 
BRITISH WONDER. We cannot too highly rec- 
ommend this new sort, which iias so very 
many good points. Most pods contain about 
nine peas — about twice as many as the older 
early sorts. Add to this its size of pod, its 
habit of bearing a large number of pods, and 
you see that British Wonder yields marvel- 
ously. While in time of maturity it is only 
a week behind the earliest. Quality Is excel- 
lent. Fkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.25.

the earliest tall varieties, with smooth, round

lowish white; pods straight, short and well 
filled. Quality best of smooth-seeded early 
varieties. Fkt. 10c; lb. 25c; 10 lba. 81.75; 100 
lbs. SIO.OO.
