506 Maule’s Radio 
A favorite first-early dwarf pea (58 days) 
Plants are exceptionally vigorous and pro- 
ductive, with crops generally heavier than it 
seems possible for so early a variety. Vines 
grow from 12 to 15 in. tall and are loaded 
with medium-sized pods which, on the aver- 
age, contain 6 large, round, bright green peas. 
The flavor is good. The dried seed is not 
perfectly round, but distinctly dimpled and 
slightly wrinkled. Maule imported this vari- 
ety from England in 1924. It has obtained 
and held an important position in the extra- 
2 ; early class. Pkt. 10¢; 1% Ib. 25¢; Ib. 45¢5 
Maule's Earliest of All or Alaska f 2 Ibs. 80¢; 5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00. 

500 Mammoth Podded Extra-Early 
The largest extra-early pea. Very prolific (56 days) 
Relatively new, and a lusty competitor in the earliest 
group, this variety tells its story in its title. In some 
areas it has proved to be even earlier than Earliest of 
All. The oversize 4 in. blunt pods and the 30 to 36 in. 
vines would be found, normally, in a much later group. 
Round-seeded, but tender and good quality compared 
with other varieties of this type.

488 MAULE’S EARLIEST OF ALL (ALASKA) & 
The earliest and hardiest of all garden peas (54 days) 
The main reliance of thousands of truckers and gardeners who wish to be first in market with 
new peas. Popular with canners because of the uniformity of maturity. Vines grow about’ 
30 in. tall and produce in about 54 days a wonderful crop of medium-sized pods filled with 
small, round, green peas of excellent flavor. Unsurpassed for extra-early production combined 
with flavor, size of pod, prolificness, vigor and regularity of growth. Gardeners who are 
unable to raise any other peas because of heat or drouth find that Earliest of All solves their 
problem by maturing before hot weather comes. The rapidity with which this variety reaches 
maturity makes it possible to plant beans, corn, or other vegetables on the same land as soon 
as the peas have been harvested. The later, wrinkled varieties may be expected to be sweeter, 
and under good growing conditions much higher yielding. But peas are a cool weather crop, ~ 
and where the weather changes rapidly from cool spring to hot summer, Earliest of All gives 
the only sure crop. Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 20¢; Ib. 35¢; 2 lbs. 60¢; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 10 Ibs. $2.50. 
487 Early Bird 
Semi-wrinkled first-early (58 days) 
Hardy, robust, and attractive semi-wrinkled 
or dimpled pea of considerable earliness. 
Vines grow 18 in. tall and bear a fine crop of 
beautiful, bright green pods about 4 in. long, 
plump and broad, each containing 7 to 9 
very large green peas which are tender and of 
good quality. This variety straddles the 
fence. It is earlier, hardier, and surer to suc- 
ceed than the true wrinkled types; and better 
quality than the smooth-seeded strains. 
Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 25¢; Ib. 40¢; 
2 Ibs. 70¢; 5 Ibs. $1.60; 10 Ibs. $2.90. 
492 Nott’s Excelsior 
Wrinkled seed, early, dwarf, prolific (60 days) 
True wrinkled, sweet, early dwarf variety with 
vines growing only 1% ft. tall. The bright 
green foliage is stout and heavy. Pods are 
light green, about 3 in. long, quite round and’ 
straight; each contains 6 or 7 round green peas 
of choice, sweet flavor. In spite of its early, 
dwarf characteristics it yields very heavily.

Almost as important as the variety you plant is the speed possible in the spring. In order to have peas over a consider- 
you exercise in getting your peas from the garden to the able period, plant a group such as the collection offered — 
table. Pick the pods when they’re young and just before above. Then, at 10-day intervals until the 10th of May, 
you're ready to serve them. The sweetest peas are the continue to plant seed of each of those varieties. Sow again 
wrinkled-seeded varieties, but the earliest and hardiest are late in August for a fall crop. Space the rows 2 to 2% ft. 
smooth-seeded. Both types should be planted as early as apart for dwarf varieties; 2! to 3 ft. apart for tall varieties. 
Cover the seed 1 to 2 in. deep. A packet 
will sow about 20 ft. of row; a pound 100 ft. 
Varieties growing more than 2 ft. tall do 
better if staked up or otherwise supported. —
