Blue Bantam Peas 
PEAS 
CULTURE—Sow all smooth Peas as early as condition will permit, and continue with wrinkled varieties 
every two weeks until July 1, then sow smooth varieties from July 15 to August 10. For fall crop sow 2 
inches deep, in rows 3 feet apart, and cultivate like beans and corn. The tall-growing kind should be brushed 
to keep plants off the ground. Peas should have good rich soil to give the best results. One pound will sow 
about 50 feet of drill. 
All peas shipped at purchaser’s expense 
ALASKA or EARLIEST OF ALL. A wonderfully 
productive, small-podded, and extremely early sort, 
grown on a large scale for first crop. The vines, of 
peculiar, distinctive, light green, are 2*4 to 3 feet 
high. Pods are light green, about 2Y 2 inches long, 
straight, round, blunt-ended, and well filled with 
small, smooth, blue-green Peas of good flavor. 
ALDERMAN. One of the very best and earliest of 
the main-crop varieties of the Telephone type. The 
vines are tall and strong, growing about 4 feet in 
height, of a medium green color, vigorous, and ex¬ 
ceedingly productive. The pods are 5 inches long, 
dark green, very broad, and pointed at the end, 
slightly curved, and contain 8 to 9 very large Peas. 
BLUE BANTAM. Vines average 15 inches in height, 
are very vigorous and carry enormous crops of 
large, deep bluish green pods. The pointed pods are 
4 to 4 V 2 inches long, smooth, and packed tightly 
with 8 to 10 extra-large luscious Peas which have a 
nice flavor. 
LAXTONIAN. The dwarf 18-inch vines are very 
vigorous, sturdy and productive, with dark green 
foliage, and produce very dark green, large, full 
pods 4 inches long, curving very slightly to the 
point. Matures slightly earlier than Gradus. 
LITTLE MARVEL. A dwarf early Pea of fine quality, 
in season a few days later than Gradus or Thomas 
Laxton. Vines 15 inches tall, bearing a remarkably 
large crop of pods which average 3 x / 2 inches long 
and are filled with sweet, dark green large Peas. 
The pods, often produced in pairs, are straight, 
deep green, and square ended. 
AMERICAN WONDER. A fine early wrinkle variety. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR. An improvement over Ameri¬ 
can Wonder, the pods being fuller and larger. 14 
inches. 
GRADUS, or PROSPERITY. Without doubt the best 
variety yet introduced, combining earliness with 
quality and productiveness. The flavor is delicious 
and of lasting quality even for considerable time 
after picking. 
QUITE CONTENT. One of the largest-podded Peas 
in existence and in season similar to Alderman. 
This variety is preferred by many growers to Aider- 
man on account of its large pods. Height, 5 feet. 
POTLACH. Of vigorous growth with medium heavy 
dark green vines 2 feet high. The medium green- 
colored pods are 3 V 2 inches long, broad and pointed 
at the ends. A very late variety. 
TELEPHONE. This late Pea has a fine appearance, 
high quality and large-sized pod. Vines are tall, 
vigorous, iV 2 feet high, with large, coarse, medium 
green leaves and produce an abundance of attrac¬ 
tive dark green pods 4 V 2 inches long, straight, 
broad and pointed, filled with 8 large light green 
Peas which are tender and sweet. 
LAXTON’S PROGRESS. This is the earliest of the 
large-podded dwarf varieties. The pods are as 
large as Laxtonian and Hundredfold, 4 inches long, 
broad and pointed, deep green in color, containing 
8 large dark green Peas of very high quality. The 
vines are 15 to 18 inches in height and are very pro¬ 
ductive.
