PLANT'S EXTRA EARLY—This is the most profitable Pea for market gardeners and truckers to grow; it is entirely distinct and superior to any other Extra Early Pea. It is the sar/zcsf, maturing from forty to forty-five days from germina- tion ; it is the most productive, the pods are of a dark green color, of a fall round shape and of strong texture, which especially fits it for shipping long distances. On average soil it will not exceed twenty inches in height. The pods fill up evenly, and frequently the entire crop can be gathered at one picking, which is very valuable to the market gardener. While hundreds of market gardeners have pronounced this Pea unequaled in earliuess, yield and regularity of growth, and in every sense a perfect trucker's pea, yet at the same time we know of no other variety more popular or better adapted to private gardens. Quart, 25c.; peck, !Sl.*/25; bushel, 4..50. ALASKA—The earliest blue pea, very uniform in growth. The dark green color of the pods makes it extremely de- sirable, as it can be carried long distances without losing color, which quality, combined with its earliness, and uni- formity of ripening, makes it a most desirable extra early pea for market gardeners and shippers; height, two feet. Quart, 20c.; peck, «1.15; bushel, 4.00. MAUD S. EXTRA EARLY PKA—This is undoubtedly one of the finest early peas ever introduced, and has gained quite a reputation for its extreme earliness, pro- ductiveness and fine flavor.
