44 JOS. F. DICKMANN SEED CO., PEASâExtra Early VarietiesâContinued. Those marked with a "â " are Wrinkled Varieties DICKMANN SEED CO.'S EXTRA EARLY MARKET. The best extra early Pea ever of- fered. This variety is unequaled for excellence, yield, size of pod and regularity of growth. Height, two feet,or fully six inches dwarfer than the First and Best, or Philadelphia Extra Early, and produces pods of good size, which are well filled with round, smooth Peas of splendid flavor. It is a prodigious bear- er, ripens up so evenly as not to require more than two pick- ings to clear off the crop, and in this last feature and in its extreme earliness consists its great value to market garden- ers and truckers. At the same time we know of no other variety that is more popular in private gardens. RURAL NEW YORKER. In height, two and one-half feet, seed white, slightly dented, of vigorous habit, vine sending out two or more lateral branch- es. The earliest Pea now known to the trade in this country, except Dickmann .Seed Co Extra Early Market and the Alaska. Pods of fine shape, larger and better filled than any other extra early, contain- ing from six to nine peas of fine quality. Not only the most hardy, but, owing to its branch- ing habits, one of the most prolific extra earlies in cultiva- tion and producing a greater number of Peas to the acre than any other variety. It is also most uniform in growth and ripening, eighty-five per cent can be taken at the first pick- ing. This Pea is the result of years of the most careful selec- tion, and as a first extra early for market gardeners it is unequaled by any other save the Dickmann Seed Co.'s Extra Early Market. â AMERICAN WONDER. This distinct and fine-flavored sort grows only eight to ten inches high, and is also a few days earlier than any other wrinkled Pea. Peas planted June 5th were ready for the table in 49 days. â NOTTS EXCELSIOR. Robust and vi-orous in growth, inclined to throw out laterals from the base of the haulm, producing in profusion long handsome pods closely packed with large Peas of fine flavor. An improvement on American Wonder, being more vigorous and prolific with large pods, with more Peas than either the Wonder or Premium Gem. A decided acquisi- tion, and since it has become more generally distributed and its merits known the greatly increased demand fully justifies our expecta- tions. Seed green, wrinkled, square at the ends like American Wonder; height, twelve inches â LAXTON'S ALPHA. The earliest blue wrinkled marrow; prolific, of fine flavor; pods large; height, two and one-half feet.

K KMANN -I KD C.'s KXTRA BASL1 M \KKKT â EXTRA EARLY PREMIUM GEM. A very line dwarf Pea, of the Little Gem type, on which it is an improvement; larger pods and more pro- ductive. Highly recommended. Taken all-in- all, this is the best and most profitable early wrinkled Pea for market gardeners, while for family gardens there is none better. Height, fourteen inches. â LITTLE GEn." Truly a gem! Unsurpassed, productive, wrinkled, and of delicious flavor. This variety matures in tifty-four days; grows twelve to fourteen inches high: no sticks re- quired. DAN'L O'ROURKE. An old early sort, pods well filled with Peas of good size and quality; height, two and one-half feet. SEEDS THAT WILL GROW INTO DOLLARS.
