THOMAS LAXTON 

 PEA. 



HORSFORD'S MARKET GARDEN PEA. 



496 Thomas Laxton 



This grand pea was originated by crossing Gradus -with a very early 

 seedling. It is claimed to be earlier, hardier in constitution, of better 

 color, and more prolific than Gradus or Prosperity. It grows like 

 Gradus about 3 feet high. The wrinkled green peas are very large, and 

 uniformly well filled. The pods are large, long, with square en~ds fine 

 color and of unsurpassed quality. Many market gardeners have 

 planted the Thomas Laxton in preference to Gradus, to their entire 

 satisfaction. My opinion of Thomas Laxton is that it Is not as early as 

 Gradus by three or four days; at the same time it is, if anything more 

 productive, peas are fully as large, of a richer green color. Planted side 

 by side, it is frequently a hard matter to tell which is the better of the 

 two varieties, hence, both are very popular with up-to-date market 

 gardeners. Pkt., 10c. ; pt.. 40c.; qt., 75c., postpaid. By express or 

 frelgUt, not prepaid, qt., (SOc; 4 qts., §3.25; pk., S4.00; bii., S16.00. 



504 Horsford's Market Garden 



A first-class wrinkled pea; second early. Height, 24 inches; no sticks. 

 It is a profitable sort for market gardeners, as a single plant has been 

 known to produce more than loJ pods. It is equally good for the home 

 garden. The medium sized pods are borne in pairs, and are easily and 

 quickly picked. This variety is said to have yielded more shelled peas 

 to the acre than any other American sort. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.;
