PEAS 
One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill 
Peas do best in a light, rich soil; for private use sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 
the-rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early 
varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in March; continue for a succession every two 
weeks until June. A good crop can be secured by sowing the extra early sorts in August for 
Fall use. 
The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round sorts, and if planted 
early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, the 
sweetest and best flavored. 
Prices of Peas unless otherwise noted are as follows: 14 Ib. 15c., 14 Ib. 25c., Ib. 40c., 
5 Ibs. $1.75, 10 Ibs. $3.30. 
EXTRA EARLY PEAS 
Alaska. One of the very earliest blue Peas; 
quite productive. Lb. 30c. 
EARLY WRINKLED SEEDED 
PEAS 
Little Marvel. (63 days.) Universally popu- 
lar. The 18 in. vines bear a heavy crop of 
dark green, nearly round, square-ended 
pods, 3 in. long, which are tightly packed 
with 7 or 8 large, deep green Peas of the 
most delicious flavor. Heavy yield, high 
quality, attractive appearance and good 
carrying ability all combine to make 
Little Marvel a most desirable early 
wrinkled-seeded Pea for home, market and 
freezing. 
Laxtonian. (65 days.) 18 inches. This is 
one of the very best dwarf wrinkled Peas. 
The vines are productive and vigorous, pro- 
ducing pods about 4 inches long and filled 
with delicious tender Peas. 
Nott’s Excelsior. (62 days.) Early, dwarf, 
prolific. Vines 16 to 18 in. tall and ex- 
tremely prolific. The plump straight pods 
are 3 in. long, blunt-ended and thickly 
filled with 5 to 7 large round Peas of a 
deliciously sweet and delicate flavor. One 
of the most popular early, dwarf Peas with 
home gardeners for quality and produc- 
tiveness. 
Peas, Little Marvel 
Blue Bantam. (64 days.) Our largest seller. 
There is no better, sweeter, more delicious 
Pea for home garden and market than 
Blue Bantam—large, dark green pods, fine 
quality, heavy yield, reasonable earliness, 
and long bearing season. Plants are 15 to 
18 in. tall, with coarse, dark green foliage, 
often branched. Pods are 4 in. long, very 
dark green, pointed and rather slender, 
containing 7 to 9 large, sweet, deep bluish 
green Peas of a distinctly superior flavor. 
Premium Gem. Valuable home garden 
variety. Vines medium green. Pods me- 
dium green; plump, straight; blunt ended. 
Seeds medium sizes, green, wrinkled. 
Peas, Laxton’s Progress 
Hundredfold. (60 days.) 24 inches. Simi- 
lar to Laxtonian in growth, but with some- 
what darker foliage and pods 4 to 4% 
inches long, well-filled, with very dark 
green Peas. Extremely productive. Highly 
recommended for small home gardens. 
Peas, Blue Bantam 
Laxton’s Progress. (62 days.) 18 inches. 
Introduced from England as an Improved 
Laxtonian and considered by most experts 
as the finest early dwarf wrinkled Pea. 
Most productive, averaging 9 to 10 dark 
green Peas of luscious flavor in every pod. 
Improved Thomas Laxton. (57 days.) 
We consider it one of the very best extra- 
early large-podded Peas. It is ready to 
pick in 57 days, a week to ten days after 
our Improved Alaska. It is of excellent 
quality, richly flavored, and the pods are 
packed solid with large Peas, usually eight 
in a pod. It yields very heavy, and in 
every way is extremely desirable for home 
or market use. Do not confuse our Im- 
proved Thomas Laxton with the regular 
Thomas Laxton generally offered, for 
our Improved strain is far superior in 
size, quality, and yield. 
World’s Record. (58 days.) 30 inches. An 
enormously popular, large-podded, extra- 
early wrinkled Pea, maturing several days 
earlier than the well-known Gradus. Pods 
are uniformly large, measuring 414 to 5 
inches, nearly round and packed with 
handsome, wrinkled Peas of the finest 
flavor. 
Gradus or Prosperity. (58 days.) A popu- 
lar second early, large podded variety. 
Vines medium green, stocky; pods single, 
broad, plump, pointed, containing 8 to 10 
large, sweet, delicious Peas. Seed wrinkled. 
Because of the rapidly increasing interest 
in frozen pack vegetables, we are listing 
varieties of Peas which at the present time 
seem to be favored for quick freezing: 
Gradus Thomas Laxton 
Hundredfold Morse Market 
Laxtonian Telephone (dark podded) 
Little Marvel Improved Stratagem
