Extra Early Wrinkled Garden Peas—Continued | 
14 Prosperity or Gradus 
The Earliest, Largest Podded, Wrinkled Pea 
This large podded pea has produced a sensation in the horticultural world, and is 
now recognized as a leader. It is not only large and of best quality, but nearly asearly } 
as the smooth seeded, extra early sorts. 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 condi- 
tion 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—S to 10 or more in a pod. The peas themselves are of a first-class table quality, 
and retain their color and attractive appearance after cooking. The peas are round and 
plump, maturing in 52 days. It is entirely adapted to the purposes of the market gard- 
ener, and does equally as well in the home garden. = 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 50 cents; quart, 90 cents, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 75 cents; 4 quarts, $2.75; peck, $5.00. 
ws Lomas Laxton 
The Rival of the Famous Prosperity or Gradus, with Giant Pods 
It grows like Gradus, about 3 feet 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 Laxton 
is that it is 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 green color. Planted side by side, it is frequently a 
hard matter to tell which is the better of the two varieties. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 50 cents; quart, 90 cents, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 75 cents; 4 quarts, $2.75; peck, $5.00. 
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 new sort of decided 
merit. The vines are vigorous, growing about 16 inches high, and produce a large 
crop of good sized pods, averaging from 9 to 10 peas 
to the pod. The peasare of exquisite flavor, matur- 
ing in 55 days. Many people who have tried Lax- 
tonian consider it superior to either Gradus or Thomas 
Laxton and claim it to be the best of all the early 
dwarf sorts. It is certainly worth a trial. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 50 cents; quart, 95 cents, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 80 cents; 
4 quarts, $3.00; peck, $5.50.

50 New Pioneer 
Dark Green, Giant Pods, with Large Luscious Peas 
This new, large podded, early wrinkled pea isin great 
favor with market gardeners in all sections. The hand- 
some large pods, which are well filled with big peas 
of delicious flavor, make it a good seller on the 
market stall. The vinesare extremely vigorous, grow- 
ing only fifteen to eighteen inches high, with dark 
green foliage, and produce a wonderful crop of pods. 
Pioneer is an early wrinkled pea, bearing its dark 
green pods in 55 days, a few days later than Prosperity 
or Gradus, but a much heavier cropper and of quality 
equally as good. Regret crop very short this year.
