Potlatch 



or Bl^ Dinner Pea 



Gardeners 



'O 



The Pea That Progressive Market 

 are Going Wild Over 



I am most fortunate indeed to be able to ofler this great pea called Potlatch or Big 

 Dinner. I had no idea the demand would be so large or that the pea would be so 

 poi^ular, as it was only about four years old; but it seems to me that every gardener 

 who had ever tried Potlatch in small quantities wanted at least a sack or two, so 

 that early in the season the entire crop throughout the whole country was completely 

 exhausted. Potlatch is Chenook Indian for Big Dinner, hence the name Potlatch. 

 The vines are vigorous, growing 15 to 18 inches high, with unusually dark green 

 foliage, which can be distinguished from that of otlier peas a quarter of a mile away. 

 The long pods are a rich dark green in color, often measuring 6 inches or moie, 

 with 9 to 11 enormous peas in a pod. The growth of vine is sturdy and pods are 

 borne in pairs; it is a wonder in produc- 

 tiveness, and the way the peas shell out is 

 astonishing. Potlatch matures as early as 

 Premium Gem; no variety known will 

 produce more pods, shell better, or con- 

 tain more tender and delicious peas to the 

 pod. The pea crop in 1911 was the short- 

 est in 21 years, and I regret that I cannot 

 offer it in larger quantities than 4 quarts. 

 I expect to be sold out earlj^ in the season. 

 Advise sending in orders soon as possible.

Laxtonian 



This IS the largest podded of all the early dwarf varieties and 

 IS a new soit of decided merit. The vines are vigorous, grow- 

 ing about 16 inches high, and produces a large crop of good 

 sued pods, averaging from 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas 

 are of exquisite flavor and mature early. Many people who 

 have tried Laxtonian consider it superior to either Gradus or 

 Thomas Laxton and claim it to be the best of all the early 

 dwarf sorts It is certainly worth a trial. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 40 cents; quart, 75 cents; postpaid. By express 

 or freight not prepaid, quart, 60 cents; 4 quarts, $2.25; peck, $4.00. 



LAXTONIAN 

 PEA. 



A new dwarf fli'st-early pea of unnsual value. But 

 recently on the market.' The demand among market 

 gardeners for this variety is already enormous. The 

 vines average 15 inches in height) and the pods 2)^ 

 mrhes in length, frequently borne in pairs. The pods 

 contain from 6 to 7 large dark green peas which re- 

 main in good eatnble s'ane a week later than moBt 

 other varieties. This variety is as early as Nott's 

 Excelsior or American Wonder, but produces a much 

 larger pod. PacUet, 15 cts.; pint, 50 cts.; postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, pint, 40 cts.
