Alaska Earliest of All 55 Days 
Wc still believe that for a main crop for early planting, Alaska still holds 
the lead. Either the market gardener or the home gardener can make no mis- ' 3 
take in planting Alaska. It is tried and true and has never been found 
wanting. A green seeded extra early vine 30 to 36 inches tall. Distinct light 
green foliage, pods 2 to 2% inches long, containing 5 to 6 blue-green, small, 
slightly pitted to smooth seeds. One of the best extra-early Peas in the mar- | 
ket, and a great favorite with canners and market gardeners, because a good 
stock of this variety matures all its pods at once.
