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.

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.

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.

Pea yet introduced ; it is in condition to pick about 4
days after our Extra Early Triumph Peas. The pods

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.
