New Extra Early Large Podded Pea— THOMAS LAXTON 



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. To our astonishment we 

 found it even superior in earliness, hardiness and large size of pod, to the now famous Qradus or Pros- 

 perity Pea, which is one of its parents, and we believe Mr. Laxton is right in claiming it to be the 

 finest early pea yet introduced. Last spring 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 refer to the testimonials below, of 

 which we have hundreds of similar ones on file in 

 our office, our limited space forbidding their pub- 

 lication. 



What a Few Customers Say 



M. A. Weeks, Sebago Lake, Maine, August 3, 1901, 

 writes: " YourThomas Laxton, Icindlysentme for trial, is a 

 most superior pea, beating the Teleplione and Stratagem in 

 flavor and large size of pods, and for a wrinkled pea a 

 perfect wonder in earliness." 



Mrs. F. Robinson, South Hingham, Mass., July 19, 1901, 

 writes : " In earliness, great size and fine quality your Thomas 

 Laxton Peas are unsurpassed. In less than six weeks from 

 planting they were ready for our table." 



J. P. Phelps, Postmaster, Mabel, Fla., April 18, 1901, 

 writes : "I planted the Thomas Laxton Peas on February 24, 

 1901, and this day (April 18th) have had some for dinner. I 

 eould have had them ten days earlier with a more favorable 

 season." 



E. B. Miller, Sharpsbnrg, Md., October 1, 1901, writes : 

 "Your new Thomas Laxton Peas proved the earliest and best 

 I ever planted. They melt in your mouth. The vine grows 

 2]/i feet high and is a most wonderful bearer of very large 

 even pods."
