ALASKA (Wilt-Resistant Strain). Our 
strain of. this variety is the earliest Pea 
grown. Exceedingly productive, can be 
planted as soon as ground thaws out in the 
spring. Height, 30 inches. 
ALDERMAN (Improved Dark-Podded 
Telephone). A leading mid-season or main 
crop variety. Height, 40 inches. The dark 
pods are 4% inches in length and contain 
8 or 10 very large peas. Sweet and tasty. 
Earliest Large-Podded Pea 
AMEER WILT-RESISTANT 
This is a cross between Alaska and a 
large podded wrinkled pea and is some¬ 
times called Large Podded Alaska. In 
comparison to Alaska, it is 2 or 3 days 
later, equally as hardy, dwarf upright 
vines completely laden with pods twice as 
large, that may be picked in one-half the 
time. It is resistant, to Fusarium wilt, 
which makes it a most valuable variety 
for wilt infested areas. Due to its qual¬ 
ity, earliness, size and productiveness, and 
to the fact that two pickings market the 
entire crop, gardeners who plant for early 
market will find it a money maker. 
DWARF TELEPHONE, or CARTER’S 
DAISY. A dwarf growing strain of the 
popular Telephone ; about a week earlier. 
Pods, 4 V 2 inches long, containing 8 to 10 
large, dark green peas of extra fine quality 
and sweet flavor. Vines 2 feet. 
AMERICAN WONDER. One of the 
finest early Peas ; exceedingly dwarf, only 
10 to 12 inches tall, and a few days later 
than Alaska. 
GRADUS, or Prosperity. A . popular 
variety with market growers who de¬ 
mand both earliness and quality. Vines 
2Vo feet tall and bear an enormous crop. 
Pods 4 inches in length, containing 8 to 
10 large sweet peas. 
Inoculate Your Peas 
Inoculation of seed hastens ma¬ 
turity, increases the yield and en¬ 
riches the soil. Inoculation for Peas 
only, half-bushel size, 25c; bushel 
size, 40c; 5-bushel, $1.20, postpaid. 
Garden Size. Good for Beans, 
Peas and Sweet Peas. Sufficient for 
5 lbs. of seed, 10c, postpaid. 
HUNDREDFOLD, or BLUE BANTAM. 
A choice, large podded, early variety of 
the Laxtonian type which we can recom¬ 
mend for the market gardener and home 
use. The large, dark pods are tightly 
packed with 8 to 9 large, deep bluish 
green Peas of finest quality. Vines 18 
inches. Peas mature only a few days 
following Thomas Laxton.
