 quality, combined with

 f r m i t y of ripening, 



make it one of the best early peas for market gardeners. Pkt.

533. Extra Early Thomas Laxton. An extra early 

 wrinkled marrow of excellent quality, and a valuable ad- 

 dition to the very early varieties. It is three feet high 

 and somewhat more vigorous in habit than Prosperity. The 

 pods are medium to large, blunt-ended and filled to the tip 

 with large peas of true, rich "marrow" flavor. Its strong 

 vine and heavy cropping character make it very suitable 

 for an early crop in the private garden. It may be used 

 to great advantage as an immediate successor to Gradus. If 

 sown together, Thomas Laxton will be in full production 

 just as the crop of Gradus is diminishing. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 

 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts., postpaid; pk. $2.50; bu. $9.00.
