AND EARLY 
PER 
MEDIUM E ARLY CULTU. RE—The dwarf early Peas are sown in rows two feet apart, the larger and mid-season varieties 
in rows three feet apart and the tall varieties in rows four feet apart; the seed should be covered about two 
inches and the plants thinned to two inches apart in the row. 2 lbs., for 100 feet of double drill, or 200 
feet of single row. 
Like many delicately flavored vegetables, Garden Peas should be cooked and served immediately or at least within a 
few hours after they are gathered. Therefore, in order to enjoy these tempting and delicious morsels to the utmost, they 
should be grown in your own garden, and the selection of varieties made from the following list. 
surpassed for Quality. 
178 EARLY DELICIOUS 
Shown in colors on page 39 
An Extra Early, Extra Hardy and Extra 
Fine Flavored Table Pea 
An extra early variety of outstanding 
merit. The vines grow about 2 feet high 
‘and produce an enormous crop. The pods 
are 3 to 34 inches long, straight, pointed, 
dark green, and contain 7 to 8 deep green 
peas of good quality. In season Early 
Delicious is ready practically as soon as 
First-of-All, and has the added advantage 
of being more productive, larger podded, 
and above all, of much higher quality. 
The seed is semi-smooth, or dimpled and 
for‘this reason can be planted earlier than 
is possible for the wrinkled varieties.

162 FIRST-OF-ALL 
(Henderson’s) 
Beyond All Question the Earliest 
Pea Grown 
The extreme earliness of First-of-All em- 
phatically distinguishes it from all others. 
= While it lacks the ‘‘marrow”’ flavor of 
the larger and later sorts it has a sweei- 
ness peculiar to its class, and a flavor which 
is preferred by many. Anyway, First-of- 
All may be eaten and the crop removed 
while other sorts are maturing. The slim, 
3-foot vines permit close planting; it may 
be planted as soon as frost leaves the 
ground. 
Price, pkt., 10c; 4 Ib., 25c; Ib., 45c; 
5 Ibs, $1.75; 15 Ibs., $4.50. 
177 MAMMOTH PODDED 
EXTRA EARLY 
The Largest Extra Early Pea Grown 
= The largest podded first early variety in 
: existence. It belongs to the hardy semi- 
smooth or dimpled seeded group, thus 
making it possible to plant the seeds as 
soon as the ground can be prepared in the 
spring. The vines are medium heavy, 
deep green, about 3 feet in height, and 
produce a good crop. The pods are dark 
green, about 4 inches long, fairly broad, 
round, blunt ended, and contain 7 large, 
medium light green peas. Here is a 
. variety that possesses all of the desirable 
characteristics of the late varieties in 
addition to its extreme earliness. 
Price, pkt.,, 15c; 14 Ib., 25c; Ib., 45c; 
5 Ibs., $1.75; 15 Ibs., $4.50. 
174 LITTLE MARVEL 
An Improved Early Dwarf Variety 
This is the most prolific of the Early 
Dwarf Garden Peas, and we especially 
recommend it to the home gardener. It is 
a decided improvement on the Wonder 
class because the pods—always borne 
in pairs—mature much earlier than 
Nott’s Excelsior. The vines grow about 
eighteen inches high and both vine and 
pod are in color an extremely dark 
' green. 
Price, pkt., 15c; 44 lb., 30c; Ib., 50c; 
5 Ibs., $2.00; 15 Ibs., $5.25. 

171 LAXTONIAN 
Shown in colors on page 39 
A Grand Early Marrow Dwarf Pea 
It is a vigorous and dependable grower, 
and very prolific. Height, 18 inches. 
The pods are not only large, but are 
always well filled with Peas of great size 
and remarkably good quality. The crop 
is ready for use about a week later than 
the earliest sorts. 
Price; pkt., 15c; 4% Ib., 30c; Ib., 50c; 
5 lbs.; $2.00; 15 Ibs., $5.25. 
176 MELTING MARROW 
Equal in size and rich, ‘‘melting marrow’’ 
flavor to the best of the later sorts. The 
pods are very large and are produced in 
abundance. They are always bountifully 
filled with very large Peas of a rich, in- 
viting green color, of perfect flavor. Itis 
one of the easiest to care for. The vines are 
only 15 to 18 inches high, so that it does 
well without support.

179 NOTT’S EXCELSIOR

Peas of perfect quality. The plant is

ing 15 inches in height, and is easily grown.

186 PROSPERITY 
(Henderson's) 
The Largest Highly Flavored Pea Grown 
It is very gratifying to the grower to be 
able to supply the table with such delicious 
Peas as early as the first week in June. 
The immense’ size of the pods borne in 
such great profusion and so liberally filled, 
insures a bountiful supply at all times. 
The vines are three feet high, the pods 
are borne singly’ and freely from top to 
bottom of the vine and contain from six 
to ten Peas of delicious quality, large and 
rich in flavor. 
Price, pkt., 15c; 4% Ib., 25c; lb., 45c3 
5 Ibs., $1.75; 15 Ibs., $4.50. 
172 LAXTON’S PROGRESS 
See illustration on following page 
The earliest of the sweet large-podded 
varieties. Our experience is that in the 
latitude of New York, Laxton’s Pro- 
gress is four days earlier than Lax- 
tonian, heretofore considered the 
earliest large-podded pea.
