SALZER’S EARLIEST AND BEST 
This Pea is the EARLIEST WHITE, SMOOTH PEA on 
earth! It’s the pea for you, Mr. Market Gardener, Mr. Home 
Gardener, to plant, whether by the paekagre or by the bushel. 
It s the greatest, earliest, big profit pea! Hundreds of thou- 
sands of customers, small buyers and large buyers, all over the 
United States and in foreign countries, have so'wn this world- 
famous strain, and everybody acknowledges it the earliest, finest 
Quality, and biggest money-making round, smooth pea in cultivation. 
Salter’s Earliest and Ue.st matures the entire crop at one time. It 
grows from 18 to 30 inches high, is extremely prolific, bearing from 
8 to 12 straight pods, each containing 7 to 8 medium sized, smooth, round 
peas, which are sweet and of excellent flavor. They are yellowish-white 
’I. steady to pick for the market in 42 days. Yields of from 250 to 
300 bushels of green peas per acre have been reported of this variety, and 
have been sold at from $1.75 and even more, per bushel. It is the pea to 
plant for an extra-early money making crop. Can be sown as early in spring 
as the ground can be properly prepared. Salzer’s Earliest and Best is a grand 
variety for succession sowing, owing- to its ability to re.sist mildew and to defy 
frost, both in spring and in the fall. 
Mrs. A. W. Krage, It. D. 2, Caledonia, IMinn., writes, “Salzer’s Earliest and Best Peas 
are very well nanied. We have never been disappointed with them.” Mr. Chester W. 
Adams, H. I>. 1, Mena, Ark., writes, “We were delighted with the earliness and quality 
of your Earliest and Best Peas.”
