 the pod. The peas are of exquisite flavor, maturing in 55 days. Many people

55 days. An Early and Very Large 

 Podded, Wrinkled Pea 

 Prosperity or Gradus is a wrinkled pea, with vine growing about 30 inches 

 high. It requires no sticks or brush, though sticks may be used if preferred. 

 The peas are freely borne, and remain in good condition for a number of days. 

 The pods are of a dark green color, and measure 4 inches or more in length, 

 being as large as Telephone, and equally well filled with luscious peas — 8 to 



10 or more in a pod. The peas themselves are of first class table quality, and 

 retain their color and attractive appearance after cooking.

4e 496 Thomas Laxton ''''''''■ 8^lrfy^e''ior%T'''^^'^ 



It grows like Gradus, about 30 inches high. The wrinkled peas are very 

 large, of fine deep green color. The pods are large, long, with square ends 

 and fine color. Many market gardeners have planted the Thomas Laxton in 

 preference to Gradus, to their entire satisfaction. Our opinion of Thomas Lax- 

 ton is that it is as early as Gradus, maturing in 55 days; at the same time it 

 is, if anything, more productive; peas are fully as large, of a richer green 

 color, planted side by side, it is frequently a hard matter to tell which is 

 the better of tlie two varieties.
