THE GRAND JUNCTION SEED CO., Grand Junction, Colorado 
Garden Peas (Mountain Grown) 
Earliest Smooth Seeded 
585 Alaska. (55 days.) The earliest of all garden Peas, can be planted early without 
danger of the seed rotting, and will quickly mature. Very uniform in maturity, one 
picking will clean the crop, and they are all used before the wrinkled varieties mature. 
Alaska gives you the first Peas which are always appreciated in the home garden and 
which sell for the best prices on the markets. One of the best varieties for canning. 
Smooth, blue seeds. Light green vines, 2% feet high. Pods 2% inches long, straight and 
square ended. Six light green peas to the pod. Pkt, 5c; y z lb, 20c; lb, 30c, postpaid. 
American Wonder 
EARLY WRINKLED VARIETIES—Small Podded 
590 American Wonder or Nott’s Excelsior. (58 days.) As grown today, these 
two varieties are practically identical. Our stock is the true, extra' dwarf, 
early, productive strain that has been one of the best known varieties for 
home gardens for many years. The dark green vines grow 10 to 14 inches 
high and are fairly coarse. Do not require staking. Pods 2% inches long, 
frequently borne in pairs, light green, blunt, straight, and well filled with 6 
peas. Seeds medium sized, largely square; green. Somewhat earlier than 
Little Marvel, which in other respects is generally considered superior. Pkt, 
5c; y z lb, 20c; lb, 30c, postpaid. 
589 Little Marvel. (60 days.) Outstanding among the older types of dwarf 
peas, Little Marvel continues to be extensively used on account of excep¬ 
tional quality and yield. Similar to the old Premium Gem and McLean’s 
Little Gem, but a superior type. Remains in prime picking condition a 
week longer than any other of its class. An early, productive variety, valu¬ 
able for home garden and for early shipping. Vines 18 inches high. Pods 
single and double, 3 inches long, dark green, blunt, plump, well filled with 
7 or 8 tender, squarish peas. Pkt, 5c; y z lb, 20c; lb, 30c, postpaid. 
EARLY WRINKLED VARIETIES—Large Podded 
587 Mile High Supreme. (55 days.) The largest early wrinkled Pea. Can be 
planted early but the seed will not stand as much freezing as the Alaska. The 
length of time from planting to maturity is very much the same as the 
Alaska, and we recommend it as a first early. It has given satisfaction 
in all sections of the country. The Mile High Supreme is a great favorite 
with the market gardener. It is a dwarf variety, vines 14 to 16 inches high, 
pods 4 to 4% inches long containing 7 to 9 large Peas of excellent flavor. 
Its superior qualities have been proven. Plant them for your first early 
crop. Pkt, 10c; y z lb, 30c; lb, 40c, postpaid. 
Mile High Supreme 
The first flavored Peas can only be from the home garden. 
Peas should be cooked within a few hours after picking to 
maintain their full flavor. 
Peas are well adapted to a commercial crop as they are 
very seasonal. They are naturally a cool weather crop. 
Peas can be grown in the Spring and Pall in most places. 
In the Winter they are grown in the southern shipping 
sections. In mid-summer we get the wonderful dark col¬ 
ored, high flavored Peas from the higher mountain valleys. 
The dark color and rich flavor are bred into the Peas by 
continued mountain growing. “Mile High” Seed Peas are 
grown at altitudes of 7,000 to 8,000 feet. Peas are one 
important crop that should always be raised from Mountain 
Grown Seed. 
Culture. One pound will plant 60 feet of single row; 100 
to 150 pounds for an acre. A light soil is best for the early 
varieties, a heavier soil that will retain moisture for the 
main crop. Well-rotted manure may be used to enrich the 
soil. Peas are a cool weather crop. Plant the early smooth 
varieties, Alaska and Pedigree Extra Early, as soon as the 
ground can be worked. The wrinkled varieties, if planted 
early, should be in a light soil and not 
over an inch deep. Make main crop 
planting 3 to 4 inches deep. Peas are 
usually planted in double rows, 6 inches 
between rows and 2 to 3 inches between 
seeds. Plantings should be made every 
tw'o weeks until hot weather. An excel¬ 
lent crop can be raised by planting in 
the Igte Summer to mature before frost. 
Peas require plenty of moisture, a good 
vine growth early will shade the ground 
and retain the moisture to grow the crop. 
For canning Peas should be taken fresh 
from the garden and canned immediately.
