Exceedingly Prolific. Strong Vigorous Grower. Unsurpassed in rlavor.

IEW LARGE PODDED 6¢é6 Thomas Laxton 39 
"RST EARLY PEA, 
he Earliest Wrinkled Pea. Equal in quality to the best of the late wrinkled sorts. Pods 
and Peas as large as Telephone. Unsurpassed in quality. Coming into use 
early in June, as soon as the small round early sorts. 
This is certainly the finest Wrinkled Pea yet introduced, coming in with the 
irst Earlies, with pods double the size. 
| This fine new Pea was raised by crossing ‘‘Gradus’’ with a very early seed- 
ng of the “Earliest of All” type. In earliness it is within a day or two of 
Challenge Extra Early.’’ The pods are a rich dark green, straight and square 
Jnded, and contain on the average 7 to 8 very large marrow peas of the richest 
javor. Weconsider it superior to, and likely to supersede that fine early pea 
\Gradus,”’ being harder in constitution, darker in color and a better yielder. 
|| It is a reliable market gardeners’ as well as private gardeners’ Pea, and 
jill undoubtedly take the same place among earlies as does ‘‘Telephone”’ 
mong late sorts. Pkt., 20c; pint. 40e; quart, 75c.

Cream 
City 
Tomato. 
The First Large Tomato to 
i) Ripen. Remarkably Prolific. 
Flesh Thick and Solid. 
In this new Tomato we 
4 have a variety of excep- 
4 tional merit, coming into 
f use as early as Harly Ruby 
mj and other small and un- 
4 shapely extra early sorts. 
j It is perfectly smooth and 
ance of large smooth fruit 
4 of a beautiful purplish 
erimson color. The flesh 
is remarkably thick, firm 
and solid, and of very fine 
quality, with very few 
seeds. It is an excellent 
shipper. Does not crack 
or rot, as is the case with 
many of the old sorts. 
The Cream City is the 
most profitable Tomato 
for the market gardener 
and trucker, and is unsur- 
passed for canning pur- 
poses. Pkt., 10e; 02., 40e; 
4 Ib., $1.25; 1 Ib., $4.00. 
symmetrical in shape and f 
fas large as Perfection. The fff 
plants are strong and vig- | 
# orous, bearing an abund- Wi 
medium early. The flesh is a deep, salmon color, thick, firm 
and solid, and possesses a rich aromatic flavor. The fruit is 
very uniform in size, and every Melon is a good one, sweet and 
luscious to the rind. In addition to its many other good quali- 
ties it is an excellent shipper. Itis remarkably perfect in form, 
slightly oval shaped, and handsomely netted. As a market 
gardeners’ Meion we believe it has no equal. 
Pkt 10c; oz. 20¢; 4 1b. 35c; 1 Ib. $1.00, 
The Most Perfect Summer 
Radish on the Market. Does 
not become Pithy. Flesh 
Firm and Solid. 
A Turnip shaped variety resembling the 
old Gray Summer Turnip Radish in color and 
shape, but much superior to it in keep- 
ing qualities. Summer radishes have always 
been difficult to get perfectly solid. During 
the hot summer months they have a tendency 
to become more or less pithy and hollow 
before attaining their full size. In our All 
Solid we have a perfect summer raaish, 
growing to alarge size. itis always solid, never becoming pithy or hollow. 
The flesh it white, firm, crisp and tender to the end of the season, and itis with- 
out doubt the best of all summer radishes. 
Pkt., 5¢; 0z., 15¢e; 41b., 50e; 11b., $1.50.
