GARDEN PEAS 
The dwarf peas are usually sown in rows two feet apart and tall varieties in rows 
three feet apart, covering about an inch. The extra early varieties may be sown in 
March and will mature in 8 to 10 weeks. Wrinkled peas may be sown from the 
middle of April to July every two weeks for succession. 
Early Smooth-Seeded Varieties 
Alaska. Very early, smooth blue pea. 
Height 2/2 feet, pods dark green, con- 
taining 6 light green peas of very good 
flavor. Lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.10; 10 lbs., 
$4.00. 
Eight Weeks Extra Early. An exception' 
ally early pea of fine quality, height 18 
inches. Sow as soon as the ground 
can possibly be worked and peas will 
be ready at least two weeks earlier 
than other sorts. Lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 
$2.35; 10 lbs., $4.50. 
English Improved Early Bird. This is a 
hard'seeded variety which comes in be- 
fore the extra early dwarf sorts are 
finished, grows 4 feet high and the 
vines are literally covered with long, 
well filled pods containing 8 or 9 dark 
green peas of excellent quality. We 
cannot recommend this pea too highly. 
Lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $4.10; 10 lbs., $8.00. 
Extra Early Market. For early use or 
general planting, our Extra Early Mar¬ 
ket pea is unequalled. Being a round, 
hard-seeded variety, it can be sown 
when frost is barely out of the ground. 
Height 2/2 feet. Lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 
$2.35; 10 lbs., $4.50. 
Foremost. (English Grown Seed.) The 
earliest large-podded blue variety yet 
introduced. Earlier than Early Bird 
and a wonderful improvement over 
any other pea of this type, yielding a 
heavy crop of well-filled pods. Grows 
about 4 feet high. Lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., 
$6.00; 10 lbs., $11.50. 
Improved Petite Pois. This is an im¬ 
proved strain of the famous French 
pea imported two years ago for a cus¬ 
tomer in Newport. A limited distri¬ 
bution met with such success and gen¬ 
uine approval that this year we have 
imported a quantity to warrant its 
listing in our catalog. The pods are 
short and the peas small but it is very 
prolific and its sweet, tender flavor un¬ 
equalled. Lb., $1.25.
