Laxton’s Progress Peas 
The smooth sorts may be sown first, the wrinkled 
varieties about a week later. If planted too early 
there is danger of the seed rotting in the ground. 
Dig a wide furrow about four inches deep and cover 
the seed with one inch of soil. The plant roots need 
support and as the sprout grows, heap the dirt up 
around it. It is well to plant dwarf varieties in 
rows two feet apart, three feet for the medium high 
sorts and four feet for the tall. Thorough culti¬ 
vation keeps the weeds down and aids the growth 
of the Pea.

EARLY DWARF VARIETIES 
New Deal — The finest and largest dark-podded 
dwarf Pea. The immense pods are borne on vines 
18 to 24 inches high and contain 8 to 9 very large 
sweet peas. We are very enthusiastic about this 
splendid new variety and strongly urge our 
customers who have had poor success in growing 
peas to give it a trial. (See page 4).

18 inches. Pods 4 inches long, broad and pointed 
a wonderful deep green in color, containing 8 
large dark green Peas of splendid quality. The 
Laxton’s Progress matures 4 days earlier than 
the Laxtonian. 59 days.
