LITTLE MARVEL 
PEAS 
New and Better Strains 
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 different strains. Most every variety 
we list will show improvement in one way or an¬ 
other. New, vigorous, pure line strains. All north¬ 
ern grown and free from weevil. Bright, plump 
seed of high germination. 
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 bearing. Mid-season or late. Price, 3 oz. 10^; 
% lb. 20^; 1 lb. 40^. 
EXTRA EARLY ALASKA 
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. “Grabble” a few new potatoes and cook with 
your first mess of Little Marvel. Price, 3 oz .12^; % lb. 
25^; 1 lb. 45^. 
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. Price, 3 oz. 10^; % lb. 20^; 1 lb. 35^. 
160—DWARF GRAY SUGAR. The pods have a tender 
hull and can be broken up and cooked with the peas like 
snap beans. Price, 3 oz. 10^; % lb. 20^; 1 lb. 35^. 
161—ENGLISH EARLY. Very short vines, big pods, 
easy to shell. Yields fairly well. Price, 3 oz. 10^; % lb. 20^; 
1 lb. 35«*. 
163—ENGLISH MAIN CROP. Late, dwarf, large 
pods. Plant all three English peas at the same time 
and in picking, one will follow the other. All are 
fine large podded, dwarf varieties. Price, 3 oz. 10<*; 
y 3 lb. 20<?; 1 lb. 35^. 
157 —EVERBEARING. Great to bear. Medium 
sized pods, well filled. Often grow in pairs. Mid¬ 
season to late. Dwarf. Price, 3 oz. 10^; Vs lb. 20C; 
1 lb. 35^. 
165—IMPROVED STRATAGEM. A big pod and 
dwarf vines. Late and sometimes don’t make a very 
big crop on account of striking hot weather. The 
big pods are easy to shell. Fine quality. Price, 3 oz. 
10(?; y-2. lb. 20<; 1 lb. 35^. 
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 make a good average yield. Dwarf, not 
quite as tall as Dwarf Champion. Several days ear¬ 
lier than Stratagem. Plant a little earlier than you 
usually plant wrinkled peas. Price, 3 oz. 12<*; % lb. 
25c; 1 lb. 45c.
