TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS 
PEAS 
CULTURE—The planting of an early crop of Garden Peas should be made in the spring, as 
soon as the ground can be worked, in a warm, dry location and covered about 3 inches. They are 
usually planted in double rows three to four feet apart, and, those requiring it, bushed when, 
about six inches high. The large and later sorts do better at a greater distance apart, leaving 
a broad space for planting low growing vegetables between. 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
INOCULATE ALL LEGUMES 
KEBBASKA LIGHTNING (30 inches). No ex¬ 
tra early pea has ever given the universal satis¬ 
faction among market gardeners that this one has. 
It is without doubt the earliest and most pro¬ 
ductive pea in existence, being ready for use 4 2 
days from planting. They ripen up so uniformly 
as not to require over two pickings to clean up 
the entire crop. The pods are well filled and the 
peas of fine flavor. 
ALASKA OR EARLIEST OF ALL (28 inches) 
The earlist of all the Blue Peas. Very produc¬ 
tive; pods filled with peas of good size thai 
retain their color after cooking. This is distinc¬ 
tively a market gardener’s sort, as it can always 
be picked in two pickings. 
THE NEBRASKA SEED CO.’S FIRST AN b 
BEST (30 inches). Vines small, bearing three it 
seven straight handsome pods, each containing six 
to eight medium sized round peas of good qua] 
ity. The stock we offer is especially grown fot 
us. 
MARVEL* (15 inches). A new extra earl> 
wrinkled pea of dwarf even growth and great 
productiveness. The vines average fifteen inches 
In height with ample, though rather small, dark 
green foliage and are heavily set with fine pod^. 
frequently in pairs. The pods are rounded and 
well filled, being blunt or square at the bottom 
two and one-half inches long, and contain six 
or seven quite large dark green peas. In season 
it is fully as early as Nott’s Excelsior and a 
much better cropper. On account of its very 
desirable habit of growth, its productiveness and 
the firm, well-filled pods, it is a distinct acqui¬ 
sition either for the home garden or for the 
market gardener who desires an earlj^ good crop 
of fine quality wrinkled peas. Most highly recom¬ 
mended. 
AMERICAN WONDER* (10 inches). Of fine 
quality and flavor, and wonderfully productive 
Its great distinctive feature, however, is its com¬ 
pact and dwarf growth. 
M’LEAN’S LITTLE GEM* (16 inches). A 
dwarf, prolific, green wrinkled marrow, habit sim¬ 
ilar to the Tom Thumb. It has all the sugary 
flavor of the ljate wrinkled peas. 
CARTER’S PREMIUM GEM* (16 inches). A 
valuable extra early dwarf, wrinkled pea, robust 
In growth with long pods. 
GRADUS* (30 inches). A grand new extra 
early wrinkled variety with pods of a beautiful 
light green color and as large as those of Tele¬ 
phone. The peas are large, sweet and meltingly 
tender and retain their color and handsome ap¬ 
pearance after cooking. Its hardiness, produc¬ 
tiveness, attractive appearance and high tabl* 
quality make this the most desirable pea to dat»- 
LAXTONIAN. The ideal variety for the small 
home garden where space is at a premium. Lax- 
tonian grows but 18 inches high, but the vines are 
exceedingly vigorous and produce pods averaging 
4 inches long and uniformly well filled with 8 deep 
green, large peas, of delightful flavor. Ready for 
gathering within 70 days from the time seeds are 
sown, and since it' is quite hardy it may be planted 
about the same time as the still hardier smooth- 
seeded varieties. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR 
NOTTS EXCELSIOR* (15 inches). Pods are 
square and chunky, always containing from five 
to seven large peas, packed so closely together 
in the pods that the peas are always more square 
than round. It grows to a uniform height, and 
is at all times very tender and of fine flavor Lb
