Xliomas I^axton. 



Champion of Ensland. — A uni- 

 versal favorite, delicious flavor, profuse 

 bearer of large pods, filled well with 

 large green wrinkled peas. Height 

 about four feet. Qt., 25c.: peck, 75c.; 

 bush., $3.75. 



Dwarf Champion. — This is a 

 dwarf-growing strain of the popular 

 Champion of England, which for many 

 years has been the standard large-podded 

 late or main crop variety. While grow- 

 ing only two feet in height, it retains all 

 the excellence of the parent tall variety. 

 In warm soils and locations this dwarf 

 type will give better results than the old 

 strain. The vines are strong but short- 

 jointed and stocky in growth, setting 

 large pods very freely. The pods are 

 three inches in length, round and well 

 filled to the end. Ot., 25c. ; pk., $1.25 ; 

 bush., $5.00. 



Nott's Excelsior.— One of the best early dwarf Peas. It combines the 

 good qualities of the American Wonder and Premium Gem Peas. The vines 

 are larger and more productive than American Wonder and earlier than Prem- 

 ium Gem. The peas in sweetness and quality unsurpassed. Ot., 20c.; peck, 

 $1.25; bush., $5.00. 



Premium Gem.— This variety is nearly as early as the American Won- 

 der and the very productive vim? is decidedly larg-er, growing to a height of from fifteen 

 to eighteen inches. The pods are large and crowded with si.x to eight very large peas of 

 fine quality, ot., aOc ; peck, »1.'<S5; bush., i«4.50. 



Yorkshire Hero. — A most popular and extremelj' productive second- 

 early variety, growing two and a half feet in height. The vine is close jointed and thickly 

 hung with round well-filled pods three inches in length. Peas are of good size, tender, 

 and of very sweet flavor. From its short stocky irrowth and great productiveness it is 

 also one of the most protitable varieties to plant in the field for market. Qt., aoc. 

 peck, «1. 00; bush., S3. 5u. 



Daisy, or Dwarf Telephone (New).— This new variety is a second 

 early, of robust but remarkably even growth. The vines are from sixteen to eighteen 

 inches high, needing no brush. The self-supporting, stout plants are fairly loaded with 

 large, bright green pods, which are always well filled. Bach pod contains from seven to 

 Qine large peas of a light bright green color, tender and well flavored. Qt., 30c.; peck, 

 81.35; bush., S4.50. 



iidrinkled Varieties -cont 



Eclipse. — As early as any extra early smooth variety. The vines are 

 strong and robust, growing to a height of twenty to twenty-five inches. The 

 pods are large and of a very dark green color, very prolific and highly flavored. 

 With its extreme earliness it is considered the very best wrinkled variety. 

 Qt., 20c.; peck, $1.25. 



Gradus, or Prosperity Peas. — Comparatively new,of English origin, 

 is an extra early wrinkled variety, very prolific with large dark green pods, of 

 a very fine flavor. Vines grow from twenty-four to thirty inches. The Peas 

 remain tender and sweet for a long time after they are large enough to use, as 

 the vines continue in bearing for some little time after the first pods are ready. 

 We consider it one of the most desirable for the family garden or home use. 

 Qt.,25c.; peck, $1.75; bush., $6.50. 



(New) Thomas Laxton. — This new variety is of the same growth with 

 that of the Gradus, but is usually three or four days later for market, while the 

 large peas are deeper, richer green. The pods are square at the end instead of 

 having a long, sloping point, and is considered by some to be of a better flavor 

 than Gradus. Qt., 35c.; peck, $1.75; bush., $6.00. See testimonials on page 26. 

 American Wonder. — This is a dwarf variety, and leads all others in 

 point of earliness, growing about ten inches high, and produces a profusion of 

 good sized, well filled pods, with finest flavored peas. Qt., 25c.; Pk,, $1.25; 

 bush., $4.50. 



McLean's Advancer. — About the best second early on the list, a green 

 wrinkled variety about two and a half feet high, long pods, abundantly prolific, 

 and well filled. Qt., 20c.; peck, 90c.; bush., $3.00. 



Telephone. — A tall wrinkled marrow, 

 enormously productive and of best quality. 

 It is a strong grower, averaging eighteen 

 pods to the stalk. The pods are of a large 

 size. A desirable sort for the family gar- 

 den. Qt.,20c.; peck, $1.25; bush., $4.25. 

 Dwarf Giant Podded Prolific 

 Green Marrow. — This variety has be- 

 come a favorite with the consumer as well 

 as grower. Vines of a strong growth with 

 a large dark green foliage, but only 

 eighteen to twenty inches in height and 

 do not need to be supported. Pods of 

 large size, well filled with large dark green 

 peas of rich marrow flavor. Qt., 15c.; 

 peck, $1.00; bush., $3.75.
