THOMAS LAXTON 

 PEA. 



496 Thomas Laxton 



This grand pea was originated by crossing Gradus with a very early 

 seedling. It is claimed to be earlier, hardier in constitution, of better 

 color, and more prolific than Gradus or Prosperity. It grows like 

 Gradus about 3 feet high. The wrinkled green peas are very large, and 

 uniformly well filled. The pods are large, long, with square ends fine 

 color and of unsurpassed quality. Many market gardeners have 

 planted the Thomas Laxton in preference to Gradus, to their entire 

 satisfaction. M.v opinion of Thomas Laxton Is that it is not as early as 

 Gradus by three or four 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, hence, both are very popular with up-to-date market 

 gardeners. Pkt., 10c. ; pt., 35c.; qt., 60c.. postpaid. By express or
