This fine new variety of early peas is going to 
supplant a good many older types. The vines 
are dwarf, 15 to 18 in. high, and the deep green 
pods are often 41/2 in. long and are tightly packed 
with 8 to 10 luscious peas. By actual count, they 
contain one more pea to the pod and more pods 
to the vine than any other. Our tests show it 
to be the earliest dwarf, large podded pea. The 
peas are of a delicious, melting quality, sweet 
and tender. pt., 15c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 
10 lbs., $2.20; 25 lbs., $5.25; 50 lbs., $9.00; 
100 lbs., $17.00. 
Laxtonian 
The Top Notch Early Pea—This is a pea 
that just suits me, and I eat some peas during 
the season. I like them any way they can be 
served, and the Laxtonian seems to be willing to 
be served any way, always yielding a bountiful 
supply. This splendid new pea is of Stratagem 
type, dark green pod, borne in pairs, larger, 
longer and more even in size than Thomas Laxton, 
and contains fine deep green peas of excellent 
flavor. It can be picked ten days earlier than 
Thomas Laxton. It is in the dwarf class in habit 
of growth. The vines run about one and one-half 
feet in height. pt., 13c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.10 
10 lbs., $2.05; 25 lbs., $5.10; 50 lbs., $8.75; 
100 lbs., $16.00.

Second Early 
and Late Varieties 
Gurney’s Yankton Main Crop 
65 Days to Maturity 
The Yankton Main Crop is one of the most 
luxuriant of the semi-dwarf peas, attaining a 
height of about two feet, not tall enough to make 
it necessary to stake or brush them. 
This has become one of the standard medium 
early peas all over the Northwest. It is the one 
v'ariety that can be planted and almost insures 
yourselves all of the green peas you can use 
during their season. They produce very large 
pods, six to nine peas, excellent quality, and 
yield heavily. 
We sent this pea out the last six seasons as 
one of our specialties and it has more than re¬ 
deemed itself. We counted pods on our trial 
grounds containing twelve large peas, and there 
were none of better quality. The leaves are very 
large and leathery; the vines grow about two feet 
high and are rema rkably productive. As one of 
our lady customers wrote us, 'T have never been 
able to grow peas enough for the family before, 
but this year with your Yankton Main Crop, we 
have had a great many more than we could use.” 
!6 pt., 15c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., 
$1.85; 25 lbs., $4.25; 50 lbs., $7.50; 100 lbs., 
$14.00. 
Improved Telephone 
(70 days to maturity)—This is without excep¬ 
tion the largest podded pea in existence. It is a 
heavy cropper and of fine quality; the pods are 
well filled with peas of the largest size, tender, 
and retain their sweetness well. Undoubtedly 
one of the best of tall-growing late peas. >4 pt., 
12c; 1 lb., 27c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.85; 25 
lbs., $4.25; 50 lbs., $7.40; 100 lbs., $13.75. 
Edible Podded Peas 
Dwarf Gray Sugar—(57 days to maturity)— 
Vines grow to be almost 15 inches in height, with 
purplish blossoms. These peas are not to be 
shelled, but cook pods and all like string beans. 
This vegetable should be grown by all and will 
never be left out of the garden after one tn'al. 14 
pt., 12c; 1 lb., 27c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.85;

Gibbon, Minn. June 8, 1933 
Dear Sirs: 
Enclosed find 25 cents for which send me 
',4 lb. Early Scarlet Globe Radish seed, and 
please make it a rush order. 
I ordered 20 cents worth of this kind 
from you in spring and made over $3.00 on 
them already. Surely have to praise the seed 
received from you. 
Yours truly. Alb. H. Dreier 
RADISHES 
1 Oz. for 150 Feet of Row; 4 Lbs, Seed per Acre 
'OR a successive supply sow from the middle of March until supply they may be sown in a hotbed in February, care being tak- 
September, at intervals of two or three weeks. For an early en to give plenty of ventilation, otherwise they will run to leaves. 
White Icicle 
This Radish is undoubtedly the finest white 
Radish grown. It is very slender, pure white 
in color and the tenderest of the long Radishes. 
It is very early, as early as the Long Red. 
Compared with the Lady Finger, it is earlier 
and more tender, but not so large. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.25. 
Early Scarlet Globe 
In offering this Scarlet Globe Radish to the 
public we know we are offering the very best 
radish on the market. It is earlier than any 
other market variety, and the quality is so crisp 
and sweet that it always creates a demand for 
more. It is especially valuable for early planting 
in hotbed outdoor planting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
'A lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.25. 
Crimson Giant 
A remarkable feature of this Radish is that it 
will grow double the size of other red forcing 
radishes and will remain solid, not showing the 
least sign of becoming hollow. It will grow six 
and seven inches in circumference, weighing 
about ten ounces, and will remain solid and 
juicy. Shape is round to oval and very attrac¬ 
tive. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; <A lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 
5 lbs., $2.25. 
White Icicle 
Gurney’s All-Seasons 
Radish 
See colored picture on inside front cover 
This new radish is a great acquisition to the 
list of radishes. It can be planted very early and 
can be used as soon as it is large enough, but will 
continue to grow if left in the ground until it is 
as large as an ordinary turnip and does not be¬ 
come pithy or strong. It is one of the best 
money makers for the market gardeners on 
account of its long season and its immense size. 
Can be sliced and eaten with vinegar. Color is 
bright scarlet, globe in shape, and exceptionally 
fine radish in bunches. Pkt., 7c; oz., 15c; 'A lb., 
30c; 1 lb.. 85c; 5 lbs.. $3.50. 
French Breakfast 
Excellent home and market garden sort; also 
suitable for forcing. Tops small. Roots oblong, 
blunt, with slender well defined tap root; about 
1 !4 inches long and % inch through; rich scarlet 
with white bottom; flesh white, crisp, and of 
splendid quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; !4 lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs. $2.25. 
Long, Brightest Scarlet, 
White Tipped 
This is a new variety, resembling the Early 
Long Scarlet in shape and size, is very early, 
being ready for use twenty-five days after sow¬ 
ing. V^ery handsome, being of the brightest 
scarlet, tipped with white. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
>A lb., 25c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.25.
