• 171 LAXTONIAN 



A Grand Early Marrow Dwarf Pea 



An especially fine variety, very vigorous 

 and dependable. The vines grow only 

 18 inches tall but they are well branched 

 which accounts for the heavy crops it 

 bears. The pods not only are large but 

 always are filled to capacity. There are 

 6 to 8 large well-formed peas to each pod . 

 Prepared for table soon after picking they 

 provide a dish for which requests for sec- 

 ond helpings, and liberal ones at that, 

 will be the rule. Because of its dwarf 

 growth there is no need for staking the 

 crop, though a support of twigs stuck into 

 the row helps to keep the vine upright. 

 Ready for picking about a week after 

 the early sort, requiring 62 days.
