Prices on all kinds of Peas in Quantity subject to advance without notice. Add 15c. per quart extra if to be sent by mail.

One quart will plant ioo feet of drill. One and one-half bushels to the acre.

CULTURE-— Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop a rich deep loam, or inclin-

ing to clay is the best. When grown in garden 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 early as the

ground can be worked in February or March ; continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then

discontinuing until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early

and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The

wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil,

or thev are liable to rot in the ground ; they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The

dwarf 'varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forcing ; planted in rows one foot apart.

EXTRA EARLY WRINKLED PEAS

^Nott's Excelsior Pea — The very best short

vine, Wrinkled Extra Early Pea. Vines are more

vigorous and taller than the American Wonder, and the

pods are one-third larger, containing often 6 to 8 large

peas, closely compacted together, and for sweetness

and quality it has no superior. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c.

Gallon, 75c. Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $6.00.

^Premium Gem— This variety is nearly as early

as the American Wonder, and the vine is decidedly

larger, growing to a height of from 12 to 15 inches,

and bearing an immense crop of pods, which are

larger and invariably well filled with peas of best

quality. The dry peas are green, large wrinkeld,

often flattened. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon, 75c.

Peek, $1.50. Bushel, $6.00.

^Lmericaii Wonder — This variety stands un-

rivaled in point of productiveness, flavor, and quality,

and is, without exception, the earliest wrinkled pea

in cultivation. It is of dwarf and robust habit, grow-

ing from 10 to 15 inches high, and produces a pro-

fusion of good-sized and well-filled pods of the finest

flavor. Dry peas, medium size, wrinkled and flattened,

pale green. Requires liberal fertilizing. Pint, 15c.

Quart, 25c. Gallon, 75c. Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $6.00.

UNO'S EXTRft EARLY TRIUMPH PEAS.

The earliest of all ; uniform and productive.

The success of our Extra Early Triumph Peas has

been surprising. It has distanced every other

early pea. Large truckers have found it to be the

best variety, and our large stocks have never been

equal to the demand for them. Every progressive

grower should have them. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c.

Gallon, 75c. Peck, f 1.50. Bushel, $5.00.

(/Extra Early Alaska Peas— The earliest of

all smooth green peas, having the best color when

shelled and the best quality when cooked. The

dark green color of the pods makes it extremely

desirable, as it can be carried long distances with-

out losing color, which quality, combined with its

earliness and uniformity of ripening, make it one

of the best extra early peas for truckers and mar-

ket gardeners. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon,

75c. Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $5.00.

^Kural New Yorker — Seed white, slightly

dented, of vigorous habit. Pods of fine shade;

contains from 6 to 9 peas of fine quality; prolific,

extra early, uniform in growth and ripening ;

height 2 y z feet. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon,

75c. Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $5.00.

fc/HFirst and Best — One of the early varieties,

about 2 feet high. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon,

7*c. Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $5.00.

xtra Early Morning- Star Pea — Has been

ready for picking in 42 days from date of planting,

which makes it the earliest pea in cultivation. It

withstands severest changes of weather, pods are per-

fect and filled, and the entire crop may be gathered

for the earliest shipments. Many of our largest cus-

tomers use this pea, and it gives them satisfaction.

Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon, 75c. Peck, $1.50.

Bushel, $5.00.

— Gracilis — Without doubt the finest Extra Early

Pea yet introduced ; it is in condition to pick about 4

days after our Extra Early Triumph Peas. The pods

are very large and well filled with large, deep green

peas of the very finest quality. l / 2 pint, 15c. Pint,

25c. Quart, 50c. Gallon, $1.75. Peck, $3.00.

Improved New Giant Podded Marrowfat

or Sugar Pea — This is the gardener's favorite for

second crop peas. Its luxurious growth and abundant

large and handsome pods reward cultivation, and are

used in immense quantities by our canners around

this vicinity. Thousands of acres are annually planted

with this crop. Pint, 15c. Quart, 25c. Gallon, 75c.

Peck, $1.50. Bushel, $5.00.
