Culture—The planting of an early crop of Garden 
Peas should be made in the spring, as soon as the 
ground can be worked, in a warm, dry location and 
covered about 3 inches. They are usually planted in 
double rows three to four feet apart, and, those requir¬ 
ing it, bushed when about six inches high. The large 
and later sorts do better at a greater distance apart, 
leaving a broad space for planting low growing vege¬ 
tables between. 
Extra Early Varieties 
ALASKA OR EARLIEST OF ALL (28 inches). The 
earliest of all the blue peas. Very productive; pods 
filled with peas of good size that retain their color 
after cooking. This is distinctively a market gard¬ 
ener’s sort, as it can always be picked in two pickings. 
THE NEBRASKA SEED CO.’S FIRST AND BEST 
(30 inches). Vines small, bearing three to seven 
straight handsome pods, each containing six to eight 
medium sized round peas of good quality. The stock 
we offer is especially grown for us. 
MARVEL (15 inches). A new extra early wrinkled 
pea of dwarf even growth and great productiveness. 
The vines average fifteen inches in height with ample, 
though rather small, dark green foliage and are heavily 
set with fine pods, frequently in pairs. The pods are 
rounded and well filled, being blunt or square at the 
bottom, two and one-half inches long, and contain six 
or seven quite large dark green peas. In season it is 
fully as early as Nott’s Excelsior and a much better 
cropper. On account of its very desirable habit of 
growth, its productiveness and the firm, well-filled pods, 
it is a distinct acquisition either for the home garden 
or for the market gardener who desires an early good 
crop of fine quality wrinkled peas. Most highly recom¬ 
mended. 
AMERICAN WONDER (10 inches). Of fine quality 
and flavor, and wonderfully productive. Its great dis¬ 
tinctive feature, however, is its compact and dwarf 
growth. 
McLEAN’S LITTLE GEM (16 inches). A dwarf, 
prolific, green wrinkled marrow, habit similar to the 
Tom Thumb. It has all the sugary flavor of the late 
wrinkled peas. 
Second Early Varieties 
BLISS EVERBEARING (28 inches). The vines are 
very prolific. As many as one hundred pods have 
been counted on a single vine. 
LAXTONIAN. The ideal variety for the small home 
garden where space is at a premium. Laxtonian grows 
but 18 inches high, but the vines are exceedingly vig¬ 
orous and produce pods averaging 4 inches long and uni¬ 
formly well filled with 8 deep green, large peas, of de¬ 
lightful flavor. Ready for gathering within 70 days 
from the time seeds are sown, and since it is quite hardy 
it may be planted about the same time as the still 
hardier smooth-seeded varieties. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR (15 inches). Pods are square 
and chunky, always containing from five to seven large 
peas, packed so closely together in the pods that the 
peas are always more square than round. It grows 
to a uniform height, and is at all times very tender 
and of fine flavor. 
Edible Podded Sorts 
IMPROVED SUGAR MARROW. Being hardy may 
be planted early and will produce plants of strong up¬ 
right habit. The pods, which are prepared like wax 
beans, are stringless, and when cooked are tender, 
sweet and delicious. 
DWARF GRAY SUGAR. Similar to the above but 
dwarf in habit, growing 15 to 18 inches in height. 
All Peas: Pkt. 5c; Va lb. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 35c.
