PEAS, VERY SCARCE 



Seedsmen, unfortunately, have to record another very short crop of Peas, 

 which, following the short crop of last year, and also a partial failure of the 

 crop in Europe, will make them exceedingly scarce and high-priced for the 

 coming season. Early orders for Peas are imperative, as later in the season 

 you will not be able to get some of the popular varieties at any price. 

 All Peas are offered "If unsold," as there Is a veritable famine In 

 many varieties

Thomas Laxton and Gradns. T^ese t^™ "^^ M^^C I ALT Y| 



into popularity and have made an immense amount of money for market growers all over the 

 country. They are both very remarkable Peas and are very nearly alike in their characteris- 

 tics and quality. They are very early (almost as early as the Extra-Early types), very large- 

 podded wrinkled peas, growing vigorously, with vines 2% feet high. It is astonishing that 

 Peas with such fine large pods should be so early in maturing. As will be seen from the pho- 

 tograph, the Thomas Laxton Pea is rather blunt-ended. The Gradus, on the other hand, 

 makes a larger, more pointed pod, thus filling the basket more quicklj-, but has not quite so 

 vigorous a vine as the Thomas La.xton. Both varieties have their champions. I think, on the 

 whole, the Thomas Laxton Pea, owing to its greater vigor, is the more profitable one of the 

 two. These two varieties suffered with all other wrinkled sorts this year and the price is high. 

 Price of the Thomas Laxton is, by mail, postpaid, pkt. 10 cts., yipt. 22 cts., pt. 36 cts., qt. 70

John Ca.mpbell, Xorristown. Pa., writes May 31. 1911 ; 



"Perhaps it will be of interest to you to know that the Stokes' 'Extra Early' Peas which I bought 

 from you spring. 191 1, beat my expectations considering the very dry weather which we had during the 

 month of May. I picked 16 baskets today (May 31. 1911). and sold the same wholesale for $i. 10 per 

 basket, and got the credit of having the first home-grown Peas in Norristown market."
