NeNA/ Dwarf mTrrow'^pea 



LAXTONIAN 



THE MOST PRODUCTIVE OF ALL DWARF EXTRA EARLY PEAS 

 LARGEST PODS— LARGEST PEAS— AND FINEST QUALITY 



THIS valuable variety of recent introduction represents the highest advance in 

 dwarf early Pea breeding. The dark, green-leaved vines grow only 16 to 18 

 inches in height, are hardy, sturdy, vigorous and healthy, require no support- 

 ing trellis or brush, and bear in prodigal abundance from bottom to top of vines giant 

 dark green plump pods, averaging 4|^ inches in length and packed full with 8 to 10 

 very large wrinkled deep blue-green Peas double the size of any other early dwarf 

 variety and having the true rich marrow flavor, tenderness and quality of the best 

 of the tall main crop' English Marrowfat Peas. It is as early as any of the Amer- 

 ican Wonder type, being ready to pick green for the table in from 40 to 45 days from 

 seed sowing or a few days earlier than Prosperity. The deep green color of the pods 

 and Peas is maintained for several days rendering it exceptionally desirable not only 

 as a table Pea, but for market gardener's trade. The many merits of the I^axtonian 

 Pea — extreme earliness, large size of 

 peas and pod, great productive- 

 ness, rich green color, unsur- 

 passed quality, etc., — will 

 we ^ predict place Lax- 

 tonian at the head of 

 all early dwarf Peas 

 for years to come.

Henderson's FIRST OF ALL PEA 



IS a hard-shell, round-seeded Pea that can be sown when frost 

 is barely out of the ground, before it is safe to sow 

 wrinkle seeded sorts. This, with its quickness of growth 

 and maturity, renders it the earliest Pea on record. 



HENDERSON'S FIRST OF ALL is unequalled for general 

 excellence, yield, size of pod and regularity of ripening. 

 It is 2^ feet high, and produces pods of good size, which are 

 well filled with round, smooth Peas of splendid flavor. It 

 is a prodigious bearer, and in this last feature, with its 

 extreme earliness, lies its great value to market gardeners 

 and trackers. At the same time, we know of no variety that is 

 more popular than Henderson's First of All in private gardens. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for four qts., $2.50 pk. 



"/ sowed your First of All Peas, May 1 7th and on the Fourth of July we picked 

 enough for dinner. The vines were loaded completely with pods." 



ARTHUR WHITNEY, Wells River. Vt. 



"I have a fine crop of your First of All Peas ready to pick on the 8th of June; 

 they are a picture. Everybody passing stops to admire them and they are as good 

 to eat as they are handsome." JOHN DAY, Whitestone, N. Y. 



"We find your First of All Peas delicious.' 



Mrs. B. A. McDonnell, 



Macdonaldton, Pa. 



NOTTS EXCELSIOR PEA 



THIS is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready 

 for table in 40 to 45 days from planting, onlj"^ a few days 

 later than the early round sorts. It grows about 14 inches 

 high, or about half as tall again as the American Wonder. It is 

 of vigorous constitution, and wonderfully productive, in which 

 respect it excels such sorts as American Wonder. The even, 

 regular habit of the plant is also a great advantage, particularly 

 to market growers. Nott's Excelsior has superseded many sorts 

 of like character. {See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for four qts., $2.50 pk. 



"On June 12 we had our first mess of your Nott's Excelsior Peas. This was 

 exceptionally early and beats any around here." Dr. E. G. GRA Y, 



Ludington, Mich. 



ADVANCER PEA 



A RELIABLE second early green wrinkled Pea, following the 

 first earlies; it is of healthy, compact growth, about 2 J 

 feet high, bearing in great abundance medium-sized pods, 

 but compactly filled with dark green-colored, large wrinkled 

 peas, so tender, sweet and finely flavored that this variety is 

 often known as the Dwarf Champion. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for four qts., $2.50 pk. 

 "The Advancer Peas you sent me last year were the finest we ever raised. The 

 vines were literally covered with peas." W. P. BURROUGHS, 



Roxbury, Mass.
