Five New Varieties from Expert Growers in England 



The Thomas Laxton 



This, the only rival to the famous 

 "Gradus," is the earliest large-podded 

 wrinkled pea known, with pods and peas 

 of the very largest size and almost as 

 early as the regular Extra Early Peas. 

 The enormous pods are full with from 

 six to ten wrinkled marrow peas of the 

 most delicious flavor. The peas are deep 

 green in color, present a most attractive 

 appearance on the table, and so sweet 

 they "melt in the mouth." Although 

 it commences bearing so very early, it 

 continues for a long time, the peas also 

 remaining sweet and tender for a long 

 time after they are fit to pick. Price, 

 pkt., 10c; pint, 25c; qt., 45c, by mail, 

 postpaid ; by express or freight, qt., 30c; 

 4 qts., $1.00 ; peck, $1.85 ; bush., $7.00. 



English Wonder 



This new dwarf pea resembles Ameri- 

 can Wonder in type, but is a little later 

 and more uniform. The vine is about 6 

 inches taller than American Wonder, 

 and a great producer of long, handsome, 

 well-filled pods, yielding double the 

 amount of peas. The peas are wrinkled, 

 of exceptionally fine quality and excel- 

 lent flavor. Sure to command top prices 

 in the markets. Price, pkt., 15c; pint.
