GREAT NORTHERN SEED CO., ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS—BEST QUALITY SEEDS 
The Best PEAS —Continued 
Hundred Fold 
This handsome new wrinkled Pea is the largest podded of all the dwarf early Peas. It grows only 
18 to 20 inches high, requires no support, and has very large pods. The Peas are almost double the 
size of any other early dwarf Pea, are wrinkled, of bluish-green color, and have the true rich marrow 
flavor, tenderness and quality of the best main crop varieties. Its great earliness, the very large size 
and dark green color of the pods commends this variety particularly for market gardeners use, while 
the unsurpassed quality makes it especially desirable for the table. 2 oz. pkt. 8c; Vi lb. 22c; lb. 40c; 
2 lbs. 70c, postpaid. 
Carter’s Tall Telephone 
A Standard Large Podded Main Crop Variety in Every Market 
The Telephone has become a favorite Pea with market gardeners whose trade appreciates fine 
appearance and high quality. Vines vigorous, growing about 4 feet high, producing an abundance of 
very large pods filled with immense Peas, which are tender, sweet and of excellent flavor. Foliage 
and pods are of light, bright green color. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 22c; lb. 38c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid. 
New Everbearing 
The Great Continuous Everbearing Variety 
Vine stout, about two and one-half feet high, bearing at the top six to ten broad pods. If these are 
picked as they mature and the season and soil are favorable, the plant will throw out branches bearing 
pods which will mature in succession, thus prolonging the season. The Peas are very large and wrin¬ 
kled, cook very quickly, are tender, of superior flavor and preferred by many to any other sort. 2 oz. 
pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 22c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs, 70c, postpaid. 
New Vigorosa 
The Most Magnificent Of All New Productions. Nothing Like It For A Second Early Pea Has Ever 
Been Produced. It Requires No Support. There Is No Pea More Prolific. It Is A Leader In The Market 
And In Demand Among Epicures. To Try It Is To Surely Succeed. 
This grand, exceptionally good, new Pea is beyond all reasonable doubt by long odds the very best 
Second Early variety that has ever been introduced. The extended history of Pea culture gives us no 
example of a production anything near the equal of Vigorosa. It is absolutely unparalleled. No bushing 
at all is required. The vines grow to be but 20 inches tall and are so stout they bear immense crops 
without failing. As an enormous yielder the New Vigorosa ranks first, 
and has no close rival. When it comes to quality—well, that is one of 
its many strong points. No one who knows the merits of real Peas could 
possibly find fault with it. It pleases critical judges, which means it is 
all that we claim for it. Those of our customers who have tried it say it 
is better than we represent it to be. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 23c; 1 lb. 40c; 
2 lb. 70c, postpaid. 
Grant’s Favorite 
The Ideal Home Garden Pea. Tall Vines, Large Pods; Luscious Peas 
Which Are Rich and Finely Flavored 
This fine .variety of our own introduction is unquestionably the 
sweetest late Pea ever offered, coming into use just after the early 
varieties are through bearing. A luxuriant grower from 4 to 5 feet 
high. The ponds are of good size, and always well filled with excep¬ 
tionally sweet and highly flavored Peas. It is nearly an upright grower, 
but will do better if staked or planted along a fence. 2 oz. pkt 8c; 
V 22 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c, postpaid. 
Giant Laxtonian or Blue Bantam 
Very Early—Extra Large Podded—Heavy Yielder — Sweet Flavored 
A giant podded, dwarf, extra early pea. The most valuable Pea in¬ 
troduced in many years. This handsome new wrinkled Pea is the largest 
podded of all the dwarf early Peas. It grows only 16 to 18 inches high, 
requires no support, and has the same large pods as Gradus, even a few 
days earlier in season and of little darker green color. The Peas are 
almost double the size of any other early dwarf Pea, are wrinkled, of 
bluish-green color, and have the true rich marrow flavor, tenderness and 
quality of the best main crop varieties. Its great earliness, the very 
large size and dark green color of the pods commends this variety par¬ 
ticularly for market gardeners' use, while the unsurpassed quality makes 
it especially desirable for the table. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 22c, lb. 40c; 
Mammoth Podded Sugar 
Marrowfat 
Largest Podded, Most Productive and Best 
Flavored of the Marrowfat Peas. A Good 
Variety for Late Crop 
Extremely prolific, outyielding any known sort. Pods 
are 3 to 4 inches long, completely filled with large 
peas of good flavor. Vines grow about 4 feet high; 
should be bushed for best results. Uniformly in type, 
large pods and the fine, cool looking, rich, green color 
of the pods, give them the highest marketable value in 
appearance, which is retained several days longer than 
with your order, pods of lighter color. 2 oz. pkt. 8c; V 2 lb. 18c; lb. 33c; 
Melting Sugar See page 1. 2 lbs. 60c, postpaid.

Giant Laxtonian 
Improved Champion of 
England 
The Standard Sweet Flavored Late 
Wrinkled Pea 
Very productive and universally ad¬ 
mitted to be one of the richest and best 
flavored Peas. Height four to five feet; 
seed light green and much shriveled. 
Very inferior and mixed stocks of this 
sort are frequently offered, but when the 
seed is as well grown and selected as that 
we offer, we consider the variety equal in 
quality to any in cultivation and one of 
the best of its season, either for the 
amateur or market gardener. This is the 
latest pea we grow; it is about a week 
later than Telephone. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; 
1/2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs 65c, postpaid.
