RELIABLE SEEDS 
One pound will plant about 
100 feet of drill 
All smooth-seeded Peas may be planted as early in spring as the 
soil can be prepared for them. They are very hardy, and will endure 
a low temperature, both before and after sprouting. By sowing for 
the first crop as early as practicable, and for succession at intervals 
of about two weeks until the first of June, a good supply of this 
delicious vegetable may be enjoyed through the greater part of the 
summer. Late sowings, however, do not yield so well as early ones, 
because the hot and dry weather is unfavorable to the development 
of the plants. The seed should be sown in drills about 3 inches deep 
and from 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the variety, taller sorts 
requiring more room than the dwarf ones. Dwarf Peas require a 
very rich soil, while tall ones thrive best in rather thin ground, which 
does not stimulate too luxuriant growth in the vines, to the detriment 
of the pods. The latter are frequently sown in double rows, with 
the brush or support of some kind between them. Wrinkled Peas 
are not so hardy as the smooth sorts, and should not be sown so 
early, but are superior to them in quality, more delicate in flavor, 
and remain longer in season.

I ittlo Marvel This is without doubt the finest of the oxtra- 
_’ early varieties. The plants are of dwarf habit, 
not exceeding IS inches, immensely productive, bearing pods of

excellent flavor. A gem for the home-garden and a profitable 
variety for the market-gardener. Jib. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 
65 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75. 
One of the best dw T arf, early, wrinkled Peas.

tive and the pods, 3 inches long, generally contain six or seven 
large, sweet Peas of the finest quality. Well recommended for 
home use. Jib. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 65 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75.

Peas, Gradus

short bushes, which are well suited to small gardens. Jib. 20 cts., 
lb. 35 cts.. 2 lbs. 65 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75.

delicious flavor. Jib. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 65 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75.

other dwarf early varieties. It is a very heavy cropper and the 
large, handsome pods, uniform in size, are well filled with immense 
Peas of unsurpassed quality. Height 15 inches. Jib. 20 cts., lb. 
35 cts., 2 lbs. 65 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75. 
GradllS One ^he most popular wrinkled sorts. Even though it 
_1 matures a short time later than the extra-earlies, the 
pods, fully as long as those of the well-known Telephone, contain 
very large Peas that are unexcelled for sweetness. A superior 
variety for the market or private garden. Jib. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 
2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3.25. 
Thomas Laxton. 
Another exceedingly fine wrinkled variety 
_ with broad pods, almost square at the ends, 
which measure from 4 to 5 inches in length. The Peas are of extra- 
large size, deep green in color and of the finest flavor. Although 
the pods do not ripen quite so early as those of the Gradus, the 
vines are a little more productive. Height 3 feet. Jib. 20 cts., 
lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 10 lbs. $3.25. 
I nvtnnian This new wrinkled Pea is very much like the well- 
LdAiuilldll. known Gradus in shape and size of pod but grows 
only about 15 inches high. It matures somewhat earlier than 
Gradus, is equally sweet, and is sure to become one of the leading 
early Peas for the garden. Jib. 20 cts., lb. 35 cts., 2 lbs. 70 cts., 
10 lbs. $3.25.
