 ities of our Famous Ex- 

 tra Early Alaska Pea, 

 and in addition it has

 Alaska. (55 days.)

 smooth green peas,

 distances without los- 

 ing its color, which 

 quality, combined with 

 its earliness and uni- 

 f o r m i t y of ripening, 

 make it one of the best 



early peas for market gardeners. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt.

 Telephone. Quality and productiveness equal to that well- 

 kno\\Ti variety. The vines are vigorous, robust growth about

 large, handsome pods with immense, luscious peas, remaining 

 sweet and tender a long time after they are fit to pick. Pkt.

THE GARDENER, by L. H. Bailey. Beginning with 

 A and running through to Z, this book lists and tells 

 how to plant and care for all the common flowers, vege- 

 tables, and fruits from the time they are planted 

 through to maturity. Entries are cross-referenced and 

 the book is especially easy to use. 116 illus., 2()0 

 pages. $2.00, postpaid 



533. Extra Early Thomas Laxton. (55 days.) An 



extra early wrinkled marrow of excellent quality, and a valu- 

 able addition 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. 

 30 cts.; qt. 55 cts., postpaid; pk. $1.90; bu. $7.00. 



Second Early or General Crop 



531. Telephone. (70 days.) A wrinkled variety of very 

 robust habit and a great bearer. A single vine produces from

 ing 10 to 11 peas. It is very productive, of fine fiavor and an 

 excellent table variety. Height about 4 feet. Pkt. 10 cts.;

 bu. $10.00.
