S OW Peas in drills about four inches deep. The drills must not be nearer than two feet, except for the lowest sorts. Those growing 
three feet high or more should not be nearer than three or four feet, and should have brush for their support. Avoid fresh manure 
and very rich soil, as they cause the vines to grow too rank. One pint will sow forty feet of drill; two bushels for an acre, in drills 
three feet apart. Our customers often write us enquiring the names of the three best Garden Peas, Early, Medium and Late. While all 
those in our list are good in their class, we name thiee which in our opinion are equal if not superior to other sorts; First Early, 1 'homas 
Lax/on, plant as early as weather conditions will permit. Medium, 
Vick's Daisy; Late, Improved Stratage 7 n; plant the Medium and 
Late varieties about one week later than the Early. 
Packet, io cents ; y 2 pint, 20 cents ; pint, 30 cents ; 
quart, 50 cents ; except as noted.

^ ** ^^ L JL.1Vd Medium Early Garden Pea 
S\\ ASTIKA •*Good Luck” is certainly a wonder. The plant is 
branching and covered with pods five inches long, well filled with 
from seven to ten large Peas almost as sweet as sugar. It is second 
early, ready for picking a few days later than the extra early sorts. 
Vines dwarf, twelve to eighteen inches high, strong and branching, 
of a brilliant deep green color. Of the many promising varieties 
tested on our farm, this was by far the best, and is certainly a nov¬ 
elty of sterling merit. A trial will convince you of its worth. 
Packet, 10 cents; y 2 pt., 20 cents; pt., 35 cents; qt., 60 cents. 
The seeds you sent me in the spring were fine, and every kind is do¬ 
ing well—far ahead of my neighbors’ gardens. The SWASTIKA PEAS 
are all you said they would be, and even more. Mrs. White

Zo/ye Leader of* the Extra Earlies 
This Pea outranks all other extra early wrinkled varieties in hardiness and 
productiveness. It has all the delicious sweetness of the Gradus and conies 
into use fully as early as any of the “Extra Earlies/' In addition, it is of 
stronger constitution than the Gradus, is hardier, and therefore can be planted 
earlier. It is more prolific, the yield of peas to the quantity of pods gathered 
being quite phenomenal. The pods are large and shapely, of a rich dark 
green color, and filled from end to end with seven to eight very large white- 
seeded, wrinkled sugar peas, the flavor of which is unsurpassed by any other 
Pea in cultivation. Vines are strong and hardy and from three to three and 
one-half feet high. 
Alaska, a smooth blue Pea, the earliest of all the extra early varieties; 
good flavor; pods dark green, well filled and ripen uniformly. One of the 
very best for market gardeners. Vines two and one-half feet high. 
VicK’s Selected Extra Earl y The earliest of the 
early white Peas; unsurpassed either for market or family use ; of excellent 
quality; unusually productive for so early a variety. Vines two and one- 
half feet high. 
Surprise. One of the earliest wrinkled Peas in the market. 
Vines grow about two feet high, are vigorous and need no bushing; 
pods well filled, containing about six or seven peas, which arc exceedingly 
tender, sweet, and fine-flavored.
