> GURNEY’S DELICIOUS DRY LAND PEAS 
All our peas are raised in the dry areas of the United States without irrigation. They will yield better than seed grown under irrigation. 
2 Pounds Will Plant 100 Feet of Row—120 Pounds Will Plant One Acre 
CULTURE: Sow the seed of the smooth-seeded varieties as early in the 
spring as possible. Wrinkled-seeded varieties are most susceptible to cold 
weather and the seed should not be planted until all danger of frost has 
passed. To insure a continuous supply of fresh, sweet peas, make succession 
sowings every 10 days until June 1. Sow again late in August for a fall crop. 
Place the rows 2 V 2 to 4 ft. apart and cover the seed 1 to 1 Vi in. deep.

This fine new variety of early peas is going to 
supplant a good many older types. The vines 
are dwarf, 15 to 18 in. high, and the deep green 
pods are often 4 y 2 in. long and are tightly packed 
with 8 to 10 luscious peas. By actual count, 
they contain one more pea to the pod and more 
pods to the vine than any other. Our tests show 
it to be the earliest dwarf, large podded pea. 
The peas are of a delicious, melting quality sweet 
and tender. Vi pt., 14c; 1 lb., 27c; 5 lbs., $1.20

SECOND EARLY VARIETIES 
O GURNEY’S YANKTON 
MAIN CROP ““65 Days to Maturity 
The Yankton Main Crop is one of the 
most luxuriant of the semi-dwarf peas, 
attaining a height of about two feet, not 
tall enough to make it necessary to stake 
or brush them. 
This hasbecomeone of the standard med¬ 
ium early peas all over the Northwest. It is 
the one variety that can be planted and al¬ 
most insures yourselves all of the green peas 
you can use during their season. They pro¬ 
duce very large pods, six to nine peas, excel¬ 
lent quality, and yield heavily. 
As one of our lady customers wrote us, 
“I have never been able to grow peas 
enough for the family before, but this year 
with your Yankton Main Crop, we have 
had a great many more than we could use.”

® BLISS EVERBEARING 
70 Days to Maturity 
Height of the vine 24 to 30 inches, vigor¬ 
ous and branching in habit. Many stalks 
grown from a single root, pods will average 
3 inches in length, broad, blunt, light green 
in color.

A NEW EARLY WRINKLED PEA 
For many years we have been trying to de¬ 
velop a wrinkled pea as early as the Alaska. This 
year we are introducing Early June. 
This new wrinkled pea is as early and as good 
a bearer as Alaska, yet retains all the sweetness 
and tenderness of the finest wrinkled peas. The 
vigorous, dark green vines grow about 20 inches 
tall and are literally loaded with pods from 2'/ 2 
inches to 3 inches long. 
The Northwest needs a pea that will mature 
before the hot weather of July. In Early June 
we have a pea that is earlier than any other, will 
outyield all but the very large late varieties, and 
besides these good points, you will find these the 
sweetest and tenderest green peas you have ever 
tasted. Vi pt., 14c; 1 lb., 27c; 5 lbs., $1.20 
Postpaid. Not Prepaid 10 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 
$3.90; 50 lbs., $7.50; 100 lbs., $14.50. 
• LAXTONI AN 
The Top Notch Early Pea— This is a pea that just suits 
me, and I eat some peas during the season. I like them any 
way they can be served, and the Laxtonian seems to be willing 
to be served any way, always yielding a bountiful supply. This 
splendid new pea is of Stratagem type, dark green pod, borne 
in pairs, larger, longer and more even in size than Thomas 
Laxton, and contains fine deep green peas of excellent flavor. 
It can be picked ten days earlier than Thomas Laxton. It 
is in the dwarf class in habit of growth. The vines run about 
one and one-half feet in height. Vi pt., 12c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 
$1.15; postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.65; 25 lbs., $3.65; 
50 lbs., $6.85; 100 lbs., $13.25.
