PEAS— EARLY VARIETIES— continued 



The "Thomas Laxton." {Sn- ntt.) A few years ago 

 we received a small sample of this pea for trial from 

 England, from the originator, Mr. Thomas Laxton. We were 

 very much pleased with the results, and found it to be extremely 

 early, ripening fully as early as the well known " Gradus " and 

 producing pods and peas fully as large The plant is a very 

 hardy and strong grower, producing the extra large sized pods in 

 abundance. The quality is delicious and cannot be surpassed by 

 any other variety. The " Thomas Laxton " will mature fully as 

 early as any of the extra early smooth peas, and being a wrinkled 

 sort is much sweeter; height 3 feet. Qt., 45 cts. ; 4 qts., $1.60 ; 

 peck, $3.10; bu., ;?i2.40.

General and Liate Varieties 



warf Clianipion. The Champion of England has long 

 been a standard variety among truckers, the long vines, however, 

 were an objection as they required brush or 

 support of some kind. This new variety has 

 all the good qualities of the Champion of 

 England, is hardy and of fine quality, but 

 has less vine and produces larger pods and 

 more of them. The pods are dark green and 

 mature after the early varieties, thus making 

 it a good sort lo plant for succession. Qt., 

 30 cts. ; 4 qts., ^i.oo; peck, ^1-75; 

 bu., ^7.00.
