No. 69. Laxton's Progress 



Excellent semi-dwarf, early variety 



Days to maturity, 60. Developed 

 and introduced by Laxton Brothers of 

 England in 1922, it reached the United 

 States in 1924. This Pea has the 

 largest pod and is the most attractive 

 of the entire Laxtonian family. It is 

 valuable for shipment to distant mar- 

 kets and also for production in home 

 and market gardens. Height of vine 

 18 inches. Foliage dark green and 

 prolific. Length of pod 43^ inches, 

 width % inch; somewhat 

 curved, pointed, and 

 handsome. The pods con- 

 tain from 7 to 9 large 

 Peas. The seeds are 

 especially large, with more 

 of the medium green than 

 of the cream color. Lax- 

 "lon's Progress has had 

 some very careful work 

 done on it since it has 

 been introduced into 

 America and may now 

 be considered one of the 

 very top varieties in popu- 

 larity for all general pur- 

 poses. It may be dis- 

 tinguished from Peter 

 Pan, to which it is most 

 similar, by maturing a 

 week earlier.

Slightly earlier than Gradus and 

 with a shorter vine

 matures 4 or 5 days earlier. It is an 

 excellent garden Pea for the early 

 markets. 1 he medium green vines 

 grow to a height of 30 inches. Pods 

 3% inches long, medium green, 

 pointed, broad, plump, containing 7 

 to 8 large, tender Peas of good 

 quality. The seeds are large, cream 

 and green, and wrinkled. World's
