= Be ; 534. Extremely 
Early Long-Podded 
_ Alaska. (55 days.) 
Vigorous handsome, 
“| long-podded, delicious 
& flavored Alaska pea. It

ities of our Famous Ex- 
tra Early Alaska Pea, 
and in addition it has 
a well-filled, long pod, 
which will fill the bas- 
ket quickly, and while 
it is not a distinctly 
sugar pea, yet it has a 
much sweeter flavor 
than the Alaska. It is 
an abundant yielder.

Alaska. (55 days.) 
The earliest of all 
smooth green peas, 
having the best color 
when shelled and the 
best quality when 
cooked. The dark green 
color of the pods makes 
it extremely desirable, 
as it can be carried long 
s distances without los- 
‘ing its color, which 
quality, combined with 
its earliness and uni- 
formity of ripening, 
make it one of the best 
early peas for market gardeners. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt.

the Garden.” You are playing safe by planting liberally 
of these varieties.

(55 days.) It produces pods equal in size to the well-known 
Telephone. Quality and productiveness equal to that well- 
known variety. The vines are vigorous, robust growth about 
2% feet high, thick stems and luxuriant foliage; it bears 
large, handsome pods with immense, luscious peas, remaining 
sweet and tender a long time after they are fit to pick. Pkt.

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 Early Bird. 
If sown together, Thomas Laxton will be in full production 
just as the crop of Early Bird is diminishing. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 
30 cts.; qt. 55 cts., postpaid; pk. $1.75; bu. $6.50. 
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 
8 to 10 unusually long, well-filled pods of largest size, contain- 
ing 10 to 11 peas. It is very productive, of fine flavor and an 
excellent table variety. Height about 4 feet. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
pt. 30 cts.; qt. 55 ets., postpaid; pk. $1.75; bu. $6.50. 
10531. Alderman. Tall, vigorously productive. Pkt.

PEAS—Edible-Podded or Sugar 
528. Melting Sugar. (75 days.) Grows to height of 5

same way as wax bean. Pods, when cooked, are very sweet and 
tender. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts., postpaid; pk. $2.75; 
bu. $10.00.
