NEW EXTRA EARLY 

 LARGE PODDED PEA 



In the Spring of 1900 we received from Mr. Laxton, the noted English hybridizer, a package of this 

 grand new Pea, with the request that we test it at Floracroft Trial Grounds. We found it even 

 superior, in earliness, hardiness and large size of pod, to the Qradus or Prosperity Pea, which is one 

 of its parents, and we believe Mr. Laxton is right 

 in claiming it to be the finest early wrinkled Pea 

 yet introduced. 



In the Spring of 1901 we imported from Mr. 

 Laxton, at high cost, a few bushels — all he could 

 spare us — which we put up in small packets and 

 distributed free for trial among our customers, and 

 have received nothing but the most favorable re- 

 ports from all who have planted it. Notwith- 

 standing its great earliness, the pods are fully as 

 large as Teleplione, and well filled with nine to 

 ten large, luscious peas. It attains a growth of 

 about two feet, requiring no sticks or brush, and 

 is well adapted to market garden purposes, as 

 well as being the finest wrinkled pea for the home 

 garden. Supply of seed limited. Prices per large 

 pkt., 15c.; pint, 50c ; qt., $1.00, by mail, postage 

 paid ; by express or freight, qt., 85c.; 2 qts., |1.50 ; 

 peck, $5.00. 



New Large Podded 

 Alaska Pea 



A new and valuable strain of the popular Ex- 

 tra Early Alaska Pea, now first offered for sale, after 

 many years of careful and intelligent selection, by 

 one of the largest seed pea growers of Ontario, 

 Canada. The Blue Seed is the same as Alaska 

 and the vines grow to the same height, but more 

 vigorously and produce fully as early large deep 

 green pods of almost double the size. No gar- 

 dener who values earliness and hardiness should 

 fail to give it a trial. Pkt., 10c ; pint, 35c.; qt., 

 65c., postage paid ; by express or freight, qt., 50c. ; 

 2 qts., 80c.; peck, $3.00.
