Lax ton's Progress Peas 
Sow Plenty of Peas: There is no more delicious vege¬ 
table than fresh, young green peas picked right off the 
vines in your garden and cooked immediately. 11 the garden 
is small, sow all the land you can spare. When you are 
eating and enjoying luscious green peas from your own 
garden you will not regret the space they take. After the 
peas are gone the land can he used for late cabbage, tur¬ 
nips, spinach, etc. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the 
same lime so they will mature in succession. This is better 
than to sow one kind three or four times during the 
season. 
The very earliest peas like Alaska and Surprise have 
small pods. Mammoth Podded Extra Early, Thomas Lax tan 
World’s Record and Gradas are only three or four days 
later and have much larger pods. Easton's Progress is two j 
or three days later but has larges pods. Midseason Giant * 
and Lincoln mature between Hundredfold and Alderman 
and are of superb quality. Alderman is a strain of Telephone, but is better 
than the old type, having darker colored peas and larger pods. 
Note: We are now selling peas by weight only. A pound is about a pint and 15 lbs. 
equals a peck. 30 lbs. or more of one variety are sold at the bushel price. If your order 
including peas amounts to $20 or more, we will pay transportation on peas in quantities 
listed “not paid”. See page 3. 
Plant Enough Peas to Can 
Next to fresh peas, there is nothing quite so succulent and tender as home canned peus. 
To be at their best, the peas should be canned within a few hoars after being picked. 
Surprise or Eclipse. (2)4 ft.) This is the earliest sweet 
wrinkled pea. Matures as early as Alaska and has a 
finer quality than is found in any other very early variety. 
The pods are of only fair size but the vines are very pro¬ 
lific. One of the best very early peas, and we highly 
recommend it for family use.

Early Varieties 
LAXTQN’S PROGRESS. (18 in.) We consider this the largest and best of the medium early 
dwarf varieties. It resembles Hundredfold very closely, but the pods are a little larger 
and mature a day or two earlier. Our strain of Laxton’s Progress is superior to any simi¬ 
lar variety we know of. The vines are 15 to 18 in. high and the pods 4 to 4)4 in. long, 
deep green and well filled with dark green peas of high quality. Laxton’s Progress should 
he included in every home and commercial planting. 
1 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7y 2 Lbs. $2.15 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 
Lbs. $3.30; 56 Lbs. (bn.) $11.20. 
THOMAS LAXTON. (3 ft.) Th is is one of the best early varieties for the home garden, 
and it is considered by gardeners to be a most profitable market kind. The peas are of 
first class quality, being large arid tender. Alatures at the same time as Gradus and is 
quite similar to that variety except that the pods are a little smaller (2)4 to 3)4 in. long) 
and the vines are more productive.

15 Lbs. $3.10; 56 Lbs. (bu.) $10.36. 
GRADUS. (2)4 ft.) One of the best early large podded peas both for home gardens and 
commercial growing. It matures only three or four days later than the earliest kinds like 
Alaska and First and Best, and has much larger pods. The pods are 3 to 3)4 in. long 
and are filled with large peas which are very tender and sweet.

HUNDREDFOLD or BLUE B ANTAM. (20 in.) This pea may he described as an im¬ 
proved Laxlonian as it resembles that old variety very much hut is larger and more 
prolific. The pods are 3)4 to 4 inches long and well filled with large deep green peas of 
fine quality. The vines are very strong, maturing a few days after Gradus and Thomas 
Laxton.

MAMMOTH PODDED EXTRA EARLY. The Largest Extra Early Variety. (3 ft.) 
Almost as early as First and Best and the pods are much larger. The peas are semi- 
wrinkled and can be sown very early without danger of rotting. The pods are as large as 
Gradus and mature a few days earlier. This is a profitable market variety and an excel¬ 
lent kind for the home garden where very early peas are wanted.

WORLD’S RECORD. (2)4 ft.) This new pea is really an improved Gradus and is steadily 
taking the place of that variety. It matures between Mammoth Podded Extra Early 
and Gradus. The vines are sturdy and bear heavily. It is the earliest wrinkled pea with 
large pods. The pods are 3)4 to 4 in. long and filled with large peas which are very tender 
and sweet. This is a variety which we most highly recommend.
