PEAS, EARLY WRINKLED VARIETIES, continued 
Little Marvel. A new sort, maturing in about 65 days. Vines average 
18 inches, bearing uniform, handsome pods in pairs. 
Nott’s Excelsior. Vines average 16 inches tall, fairly loaded with short, 
plump pods bearing small, light green Peas of excellent flavor. Ma- 
tures earlier than Gradus. 
Peter Pan. Early dwarf. A dwarf Pea of great merit. The pods are 
large and well filled, being about 4 inches in length. Vines are 
around 20 inches in height and vigorous. Season about 65 days. 
Premium Gem. The latest of this class, maturing about 50 per cent 
of its crop about 80 days from sowing. Grows 2}% feet tall, averaging 
8 pods per vine, each containing 5 to 6 light green Peas of fair quality. 
Sutton’s Excelsior. Dwarf early. Vines 18 inches high, medium-green, 
and stocky. The 34-inch pods are light green, broad, blunt, straight, 
and contain 6 to 8 medium-large Peas of good quality. Ready in 
about 63 days. 
Thomas Laxton. One of the earliest wrinkled Peas. It can be planted 
with the first-early, smooth-seeded sorts. Straight, nearly round, 
medium-green pods packed with 7 to 8 fine green Peas. 
World’s Record. An early strain of the well-known, popular Gradus. 
It does not grow quite as tall, but the stout vines are more produc- 
tive, bearing abundant, medium-green pods well filled with 7 to 9 
very large, dark green Peas of exceptional quality. 
Wyoming Wonder. Very large, round, dark green, plump pods, con- 
taining 8 to 10 large Peas. Vines dark green. 75 days. 
SECOND-EARLY AND MAIN-CROP VARIETIES 
Alderman. The earliest and one of the best of the early strains of 
Telephone. Under favorable weather conditions it matures in 75 days 
from date of sowing. Pods contain 9 or 10 Peas, and in one case a 
15-foot row yielded 8 quarts of Peas in two pickings. 
Bliss Everbearing. Sturdy vines averaging 3 feet tall and maturing 
5 to 6 medium-sized Peas per pod, about 80 days from planting. 
It bears over an exceptionally long season and the quality is of 
the best. 
Champion of England. The standard late Pea for both market and the 
home-garden. Vines grow 5 feet or more and carry an abundance 
of well-filled, meaty pods, exceptionally sweet while young. Bears 
over a long season, requiring about 85 days: 
Dark-podded Telephone. By constant selection we have brought our 
strain of this variety to a high point of perfection. The thrifty 5-foot 
vines carry an abundance of handsome pods 5 inches Iong or more, 
containing 10 or more extra-large dark green Peas of finest flavor. A 
superb Pea for summer bearing. 
Dwarf Champion. A thoroughbred variety for the home-garden. 
Thrifty vines 3 feet high, rivaling some of the early sorts in produc- 
tiveness. Requires about 80 days. About a week ahead of Champion 
of England, which it resembles in size and quality. 
Dwarf Telephone or Carter’s Daisy. Sturdy vines 18 inches to 2 feet 
high bearing remarkable crops of large light green Peas of excellent 
flavor. Highly recommended where space is limited.
