PEAS 
HARDY NORTHERN STOCK 
Our Peas are Northern grown. They are produced at an 
altitude of 5,000 feet or more, making them the earliest, 
hardiest, and most productive Peas obtainable. In addi¬ 
tion, the localities where they are raised are free from 
insects and other damaging pests. Much skill and 
knowledge is required to grow Seed Peas properly. Our 
Peas are carefully grown, kept true to type, are bright, 
handsome, sound and of strong germination. 
CULTURE FOR GARDEN PEAS 
Sow seed 2 inches deep in rich soil very early in the 
spring and for a succession put in varieties that mature 
at different periods or if dwarfs only are desired, sow 
a few rows every 10 days throughout the season. For 
hand cultivation sow in rows 15 inches apart, but if 
grown on a large scale it is best to sow in rows from 
2 to 3 feet apart and cultivate them with a horse or trac¬ 
tor. One lb. of seed will plant 100 ft. of row; 75 to 100 
lbs. of seed required to an acre. 
FERTILIZER FOR PEAS 
Use about 300 pounds to the acre of 4-16-4, in drills, 
to get the best returns from your Pea crop. Fertilizer 
will improve the quality and increase the crop greatly. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF 
WRINKLED VARIETIES 
American Wonder 
This variety heads the list of Peas in flavor and quality. 
The vines bear a great abundance of good sized pods 
containing 5 to 8 large, exceedingly sweet, tender and 
well flavored Peas. This is the earliest of the dwarf, 
wrinkled varieties, being nearly as early as the smooth 
sorts. The seed is medium sized, wrinkled and pale 
green. These Peas are especially adapted to family use 
as they require no brush or other support. Grow to a 
height of about 10 inches. 
Little Gem 
Height 16 to 18 inches. It is a few days later than the 
American Wonder, but slightly larger and will bear for 
a longer period than other varieties. The Peas are 
green, wrinkled, of sweet, delicious flavor, and excellent 
quality. 
Little Marvel 
An extra fine dwarf Pea of the early wrinkled variety, 
with vines growing to about 14 inches high. Pods are 
about 3 inches long of a dark green color. Peas are 
very sweet and tender. Especially suited for home gar¬ 
dens and early market gardening. 
Nott’s Excelsior 
A standard extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea. The foliage 
is stout and heavy, about 12 inches high with an abun¬ 
dance of pods containing 6 light green wrinkled Peas 
each. The Peas are unsurpassed in sweetness and qual¬ 
ity and are very desirable for the home gardener.
