Extra Early Wrinkled Garden Peas—Continued 
14 Prosperity or Gradus 
The Earliest, Largest 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 fora number of days. The pods are of 
a dark green color, and measure 4 inches or more in length, being as large as Tele- 
phone, and equally well filled with luscious peas—8 to 10 or more ina pod. The peas 
themselves are of first-class table quality, and retain their color and attractive 
appearance after cooking. The peas are round and plump, maturing in 62 days. It 
is entirely adapted to the purposes of the market gardener, and does equally as well 
in the home garden. 
Packet, 10 cents; half pound, 25 cents; pound, 45 cents, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, pound, 30 cents; 5 pounds or over at 25 cents per pound; 
100 pounds, $23.00. 
ws Lomas Laxton 
The Rival of the Famous Prosperity or Gradus, with Giant Pods 
It grows like Gradus, about 30 inches high. The wrinkled peas are very large, of fine 
deep green color. he pods are large, long, with square ends and finecolor. Many 
market gardeners have planted the Thomas Laxton in preference to Gradus, to their 
entire satisfaction. Our opinion of Thomas Laxton is that itis as early as Gradus, 
maturing in 52 days; at the same time it is, if anything, more productive; peas are 
fully as large, of a richer greencolor. Planted side by side, it is frequently a hard 
matter to tell which is the better of the two varieties. 
Packet, 10 cents; half pound, 25 cents; pound, 45 cents, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, pound, 30 cents; 5 pounds or over at 28 cents per pound;

soo Laxtonian 
Known by Some as The Dwarf Gradus or Blue Bantam 
This is the largest podded of all the early dwarf varieties and 
is a grand sort of decided merit. The vines are vigorous, grow- 
ing about l6inches high, and produce a large crop of good sized 
pods, averaging from 9to10 peas tothe pod. The peas are of 
exquisite flavor, maturing in 55 days. Many people who have 
tried Laxtonian consider it superior to any of the so called tall 
growing later maturing sorts, and claim it to be the best of all 
early dwarf peas. It is certainly worth atrial.
