EARLY AND EXTRA EARLY PEAS 
ALASKA, “Earliest of All,” 55 Days— The 
vines grow 2 V 2 feet tall, bearing well-filled, 
medium sized pods. Matures practically the 
entire crop all one time. Very popular. 
Gradus, or Prosperity 
FIRST AND BEST —This is the earliest and 
most even strain of first early white peas. The 
vines are vigorous and hardy, of medium 
height, about 2 ^ to 3 feet, bearing 3 to 7 
straight pods of good size, about 2 V 2 to 2 % 
inches long, each containing five to seven me¬ 
dium sized, smooth peas of fair quality. Seed 
small, smooth, yellowish white. 
PREMIUM GEM —A dwarf, wrinkled, extra 
early variety, growing about 15 inches high, 
and is one of the earliest of the good quality 
varieties for home gardens. This is an older 
variety that certainly deserves its great popu¬ 
larity. 
LITTLE MARVEL — An excellent dwarf 
sort for the market and home garden. The 
pods average a little longer than those of 
Premium Gem, are more attractive in shape 
and color and the peas are of superior quality. 
The vines are heavily set with large, straight, 
deep green pods which are square ended and 
are well filled with 7 large tender peas. Peas 
dark green, wrinkled and very prolific. 
AMERICAN WONDER or NOTT’S EX¬ 
CELSIOR —The improved strains of these old 
popular sorts are too much alike to list sep¬ 
arately. In fact, our strain is much superior 
to most small dwarf wrinkled sorts sold under 
either name. Vines are 12 inches high, pro¬ 
ducing medium green pods, 3 inches long and 
V2 inch wide, plump, straight and blunt-ended. 
Pods are always well filled with sweet, deli¬ 
cious peas. 
LAXTONIAN — This handsome wrinkled 
pea is the largest podded of the dwarf va¬ 
rieties. The dark green pods are similar to 
Gradus in shape and splendid quality, are 
nearly as large in size and often mature a lit¬ 
tle earlier. Vines vigorous and productive. 
averaging 15 to 18 inches high; foliage dark 
green; pods about 4 inches in length. Seed 
light green, large, wrinkled, flattened, irregu¬ 
lar in shape. 
GRADUS or THOMAS LAXTON— Our im¬ 
proved strain of these two splendid peas com¬ 
bines the best qualities of both sorts and is 
practically identical. The vines are 3 feet tall, 
with pods about 4 inches long, filled with 7 to 
9 large, sweet and tender peas. Seeds are 
large and wrinkled. Is ready for the table in 
55 to 60 days after planting. 
HUNDREDFOLD —Is much the same type 
of peas as the Thomas Laxton but quite dwarf, 
growing from about 18 to 20 inches tall and 
the pods about 4 inches long. They mature 
in about 60 days and contain 7 to 8 large dark 
green peas of excellent quality. 
LAXTON’S PROGRESS —Is another selec¬ 
tion of the Laxtonian type, bearing a little 
larger pods than the Laxtonian. The vines 
grow to a height of 18 inches and usually 
matures about 4 days earlier than the Lax¬ 
tonian. Pods are 4 inches long, dark green 
in color, containing 7 to 8 delicious peas.

tinuing a long time in bearing.

growing and much branched vines measure 4 
to 5 feet tall and they bear an immense crop 
of fine pods. The pods are borne in pairs and 
measure SV 2 to 4 inches long. They are 
crowded to capacity with six large peas. Very 
sweet. 
ALDERMAN or DARK PODDED TELE¬ 
PHONE —A late wrinkled variety growing 4 
to 5 feet high and bearing freely large pods of 
a dark green color and on this account con¬ 
sidered by many superior to the ^old Tele¬ 
phone. Quality extra fine. 
LARGE WHITE MARROWFAT —One of 
the oldest varieties in cultivation and a favor¬ 
ite market sort. Pods large, well filled and of 
excellent quality. 
MELTING SUGAR— Large edible podded.

those who have once used them. Plants grow
