Laxtonian^The New Dwarf Gradus Pea 



This is the largest podded of all the early dwarf varieties and 

 is a new sort of decided merit. The vines are vigorous, grow- 

 ing about 16 inches high, and produces a large crop of good 

 sized pods, averaging from 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas 

 are of exquisite flavor and mature early. Many people who 

 have tried Laxtonian 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.

Bliss's Everbearing 



A celebrated wrinkled pea IJ to 2 feet high, of good quality 

 and flavor. Its season is late to very late, and it is especially 

 adapted to summer and autumn cropping. It has a remark- 

 able and valuable branching habit. It will do well without 

 sticks or brush. Repeated pickings may be made, for the vine 

 continues to produce blossoms and successional crops of pods 

 in its effort to ripen its seeds. It is thus a continuous bearer 

 through a long season. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 35 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.25; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.50.

Sutton's Excelsior 



The Sutton's Excelsior Pea resembles Nott's Excelsior, but 

 has longer and broader pods of a light green color; the pods are 

 square at the ends with 6 or 8 large sized peas to a pod. ' The 

 vines grow 15 inches long and are hardy, permitting early 

 planting. They are very heavy bearers, and on account of its 

 hardiness and large sized pods, many prefer Sutton's Excelsior 

 to the large podded taller varieties. Comes into bearing a few 

 days later than Nott's Excelsior. It is rmdoubtedly a line, 

 early wrinkled pea for either home or market gardeners. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 35 cts.; qt., 60 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 45 cts.; 4 quarts., $1.50; pk., $2.75; bu., $10.50. 



LAXTONIAN PEA.

New Dwarf Pea Little Marvel 



A new dwarf first early pea of unusual value. But recently on the 

 market. The demand among market gardeners for this variety is 

 already enormous. The vines average 15 inches in height, and the 

 pods 2,} inches in length, frequently borne in pairs. The pods con- 

 tain from 6 to 7 large dark green peas which remain in good eatable 

 shape a week later than most other varieties. This variety is as early 

 as Nott's Excelsior or American Wonder, but produces a much larger 

 pod. and the vines produce a much heavier crop. Its dark green pods 

 are a more attractive color than the light green sorts. 



Packet, 10 cts.; p!nt, 35 cts.; quart, 60 cts., postpziid. By express or freight, 

 not prepaid, quart, 45 cts.; 4 quarts, $1.50; peck, $2.75; bushel; $10.50.
