Extra Early Peas 
These earliest varieties may be 
sown as soon as ground can be work¬ 
ed, usually early in March, 
Alaska (Earliest of All). (45 
days). Pods of perfect shape, well 
filled with smooth Peas of un¬ 
rivaled quality; not very large but 
the vines are prodigious croppers. 
Height 2^ feet. 
Blue Bantam. (55 days). The 
dwarf, vigorous vines average 15 
inches in height and carry enor¬ 
mous crops of large deep bluish 
green pods. These measure 4 to 
41^ inches long and are tightly 
packed with 8 to 10 extra large 
luscious Peas. A great favorite 
with everybody. Need no brush. 
Gradus. (55 days). One of the ear¬ 
liest wrinkled Peas, very hardy. 
The vine grows about 2% feet 
high. Pods large and well filled. 
Extra Early Alaska 
PEAS 
CUIiTUBE. Peas mature earliest in a light, 
rich soil; for general crop a moderately heavy soil 
is best. Commence sowing early varieties as soon 
as ground can be worked, continue for a succession 
every two weeks until June. Sow the early, second 
early and late varieties at the same time for a suc¬ 
cession. Sow seed 2, 3 or 4 inches deep, according 
to early, medium or late season, an inch apart; 
dwarf kinds in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, 8 to 4 feet 
for tall kinds. One pound for 100 feet of drill; 
110 to 175 pounds for an acre. The wrinkled va¬ 
rieties are more susceptible to cold, wet weather 
than the small, round, hard sorts, hence should not 
be planted very early except in warm, dry loca¬ 
tions. Brush can be used to advantage on all va¬ 
rieties but the various dwarf growing sorts take 
care of themselves very well without. The crop 
should be gathered as fast as it is fit for use. If 
even a few pods begin to ripen, not only will new 
pods cease to grow, but those partly advanced will 
stop growing. 
Hundredfold. (50 days). Bountiful crops of broad, 
4-inch pods which hold usually eight large, dark 
green Peas of wonderfully rich flavor. The vines 
are sturdy and heat-resisting, averaging 16 in. 
Xiaxtonian. (50 days). Dwarf and bushy—about 
14 inches—very productive of 4-inch blunt pods 
containing 8 to 10 Peas of unsurpassed flavor. 
Ziaxton’s Progress. (46 days). The earliest large- 
podded dwarf Pea, an improvement of Laxtonian 
and 4 days earlier. Pods are 4 inches long, broad 
and pointed, deep green in color, containing 8 
large deep green Peas, which are of the most 
delicious flavor; seed wrinkled. 
Ziittle Marvel. (53 days). Popular with market 
gardeners because of its extreme earliness and 
productiveness. The large, plump, dark green 
pods pack 7 to 8 squarish Peas of choice quality. 
Very dwarf; seed wrinkled. 
Nott’s Excelsior. (60 days). This excellent dwarf 
early Pea is robust and vigorous and produces in 
profusion handsome pods, closely packed with 
large Peas of fine flavor; seed wrinkled. 
Tliomas Eaxtou. (50 days). One of the largest 
podded of the' dwarf Peas. Matures with the 
earliest and is of a delicious flavor. 
Medium Early Peas 
Dwarf Champion. (65 days). This is one of the 
very good and dependable sorts. Vines make a 
healthy dark green growth and are well loaded 
with pods. The Peas, which are borne crowded 
in medium-size pods, are of the highest quality, 
possessing the rich flavor of the Champion of 
England. The growth is very dwarf, requiring 
no support. 
Dwarf Telephone or Daisy. (65 dap). A me¬ 
dium late Pea of dwarf, stocky habit, healthy, 
vigorous growth, and productive, bearing large, 
handsome pods and peas of highest quality. 
Late or 
Main Crop Peas 
These late kinds may as well 
be planted at same time as the 
earlier ones. The tall varieties 
do very well planted in double 
pws with the line of brush set 
in at same time, allowing 3 feet 
of space between the lines. 
Improved Stratagem (Pot¬ 
latch). (70 days). One of the 
very best dwarf Peas ; quality 
unsurpassed. Vines 18 to 20 
inches. No sticking required. 
Loaded with pods that are 
crowded with immense dark 
green Peas ; seed wrinkled.

the finest tall marrows yet in¬ 
troduced. Vine strong, produc¬ 
ing abundantly. The pods are 
of large size and filled with 
very large delicious Peas.
