New and Better Strains 
This year one of the best pea and bean growers in the 
United States is handling the growing of these crops for 
us. For years he has been selecting and developing dif¬ 
ferent strains. Most every variety we list will show im¬ 
provement in one way or another. New, vigorous, pure 
line strains. AH northern grown and free from weevil. 
Bright, plump seed of high germination. 
146 — EXTRA EARLY 
ALASKA. A new strain of 
this old-time variety. Very 
early and productive. 
Doesn’t yield as heavy as 
some of the later varieties 
but lots of peas anyway. 
Sure to make a crop. Easy 
to grow. About knee high 
and medium small pods. 
Dependable. Smooth seed 
147—FIL 
BASKET, 
large podded 
pea for early 
planting. 
Medium long 
vines that do 
not need 
sticking. 
Easy to shell. 
A little later 
than Alaska. 
Bears heavy. extra early Alaska 
Smooth seed. 
148—IMPROVED EXTRA EARLY. A 
real early pea. Medium small pods. Close¬ 
ly crowded with peas. Vines loaded down. 
Smooth seed. 
Wrinkled Seeded Varieties 
149 — AMERICAN WONDER. Early, 
very dwarf, vines well filled. Yield fair. 
High quality. Medium sized pod. 
159— DWARF CHAMPION. A variety 
that has always given good satisfaction. 
Medium sized pod well filled. Vines are 
dwarf and don’t need a prop. Heavy bear¬ 
ing. Mid-season or late. 
160— DWARF GRAY SUGAR. The pods 
NEW BIG POD have a tender hull and can bte broken up 
and cooked with the peas like snap beans. 
155—NEW BIG POD. They are the limit for size. In 
fact I don’t know of another variety with as large a pod, 
not even the Alderman. Are full of peas too. A good pod 
will hold 8 or 10 large tender peas. A quality that will 
silence the most critical. They are sweet, tender and 
juicy. Pods dark green, plump, pointed and easy to shell. 
Often 2 pods on a stem. 
They make a good average yield. The pods are so large 
they soon fill a picking basket. Stocky, dark green, 
healthy vines. Dwarf, not quite as tall as Dwarf Champ¬ 
ion. Several days earlier than Stratagem. Plant a little 
earlier than you usually plant wrinkled peas. 
153—LARGE PODDED MARVEL. In so many ways it 
is like Little Marvel but the pods larger and also pointed. 
A large, pointed pod shells much easier than a blunt 
ended pea. The quality is sweet, tender and juicy. A dwarf 
healthy, stocky vine. The pods well filled and lots of 
them. Quite early being ready to use same time Little 
Marvel is. A brand new variety. 
163—ENGLISH MAIN CROP. Late, dwarf, large pods. 
Plant all three English peas at the same time and in pick¬ 
ing one will follow the other. All are fine large podded, 
dwarf varieties. 
167—ALDERMAN—Extra large pods full of big, sweet 
peas. Easy to shell and easy to pick. Tall vines that 
must be supported. Bears heavy and for a long time. 
165 — IMPROV- 
ED STRATA¬ 
GEM. A big pod 
and dwarf vines. 
Late and some¬ 
times don’t make 
a very big crop on 
account of strik- 
ing hot dry 
weather. The big 
pods are easy to 
shell. Fine qual¬ 
ity. 
154 - PREM¬ 
IUM GEM. Early 
to m i d-s e a s o n. 
Quite productive. 
Seed wrinkled 
and quality fine, 
being sweet and 
tender. 
Grow them like you do beans. Instructions printed on 
each package. 
161— ENGLISH EARLY. Very short vines, big pods, 
easy to shell. Yields fairly well. 
162— ENGLISH SECOND EARLY. Large pods, dwarf 
and follows English Early. 
157—EVERBEARING. Great to bear. Medium sized 
pods, well filled. Often grow in pairs. Mid-season to 
late. Dwarf. 
150—GRADUS. Early. A 
medium tall vine sensitive 
to dry hot weather. Yield 
uncertain. Quality fine. 
Large pods. 
151 — LAXTONIAN. A 
great big, long pod on a 
little short vine. While it 
does not yield very well, it 
is easy to pick and shell. 
Early for a wrinkled var¬ 
iety. Quality fine. 
152—LITTLE MARVEL. 
For quality, yield, earliness 
and other good points it is 
just hard to beat. Vines 
are loaded and pods are 
full as they can be. Shells 
out extra well. Three 
quarts of pods will often 
make a quart of shelled 
peas. Tender and sweet, of the best quality. A dwarf 
vine. 
259—EARLY NORTHERN. The pods are small, well 
filled and lots of them on a vine. They will ripen any¬ 
where in the cornbelt. 
258—JUMBO. Great big pods, the kind that are usually 
roasted. Much larger than the Early Northern but prob¬ 
ably no more productive. Not as early but you are reas¬ 
onably sure of a crop in the cornbelt.
