Tall Varieties 
The following sorts need support of some kind: 
Alderman. A pea similar to Telephone, but more prolific. 
Vine is extra vigorous and pods are dark green and always 
well filled with fine, large peas. Very finest and best pea of 
this class. 
Gradus. This early, wrinkled pea bears pods of large size and 
combines quality with earliness. It is very hardy, can be 
planted fully as early as the smooth peas, growth vigorous 
and healthy, vines 2% feet high, very prolific. 
Telephone (tall). Our western-grown selection of this popular 
favorite and standard market variety is immensely productive, 
extra large pods being filled with peas of finest quality. 
Low Growing Varieties 
Alaska or Earliest of All. A smooth, blue pea, of even, vig¬ 
orous growth and extra early maturity. Vines 2 to 3 feet 
high, unbranched bearing 4 to 7 long pods, which are filled 
with medium-sized, bright green peas of excellent flavor. A 
great favorite with our market gardeners for fall or early 
spring planting. 
Oregon Beauty. An early dwarf wrinkled pea of superior 
merit. The vines are rugged and productive. Pods about 4 
to 5 inches long, and filled with large, tender peas of de¬ 
licious flavor. Grows to a height of about 15 to 18 inches. 
Especially recommended for the home garden and market 
gardener. 
Laxtonian. A new early dwarf, robust, large podded pea of 
superior excellence; growth averaging 16 inches. The large 
pods well filled, holding 8 to 10 peas. Laxtonian is so highly 
recommended that you should give it a trial. 
Little Marvel. Splendid new dwarf pea for home or market. 
The dwarf, bushy vines, averaging 15 inches, are loaded with 
firm square-ended pods 2% to 3 inches long, tightly filled 
with plump, luscious, deep green peas. 
OREGON BEAUTY 
Dwarf Gradus. Produces more pods, and larger pods than any 
other early dwarf pea. The flavor is exceptional: pods are 
slightly curved and contain an average of 8 to 9 peas of finest 
marrow flavor. Vines are stout, 18 to 24 inches high. 
Blue Bantam. The vines measure about 15 inches high and 
produces freely the bluish-green pods. The pointed pods run

7 to 9 large deep green peas. Suitable for market gardeners 
or home gardens.

are planted too often in the same ground. You will find the 
new Pea Giant Stride nearly 100 per cent resistant, as well 
as of top quality and a heavy yielder. It makes a vine 16 to 
18 inches tall, dark green, with pods longer than Laxton’s 
Progress and better filled with peas of excellent flavor. 
Dwarf Telephone. A mid-season maturing sort of merit; 
vines are dwarf and bear large, bright green pods, each con¬ 
tains 7 to 9 peas of finest quality. This is a splendid variety, 
of which we offer a high class re-selected stock.

perfectly adapted to the Northwest. Our seed has been grown 
in this locality for several seasons, and is thoroughly ac¬ 
climated. The vmes, the semi-dwarf, growing about 3 feet 
high, and the yield, size and quality of the peas are wonderful 
considering its extreme earliness. The pods are large, dark 
green, of the Gradus type, and are filled with eight or ten 
large wrinkled peas, sweet and of fine flavor. 
Hundred Fold. Similar to Laxtonian and Blue Bantam, with 
darker vines and pods, has become very popular with the 
market gardeners. It is an Ideal Pea for those who wish 
large pods, and we consider it one of the best. Vines grow 
from 18 inches to 2 feet.
