Thomas Laxton Peas 
PEAS—Early Varieties—continued 
L,T1 " LE MARVEL. (15 in.) This pea is certainly rightly named and is one of the best 
and most popular kinds for the home gardener. It is wonderfully prolific and the peas are 
deep green and of high quality. They mature between Gradus and Hundredfold and will 
stand longer than most kinds without becoming tough and tasteless.

LINCOLN. (2J^ ft.) This is one of the best peas to fill in between the 
early and late kinds. The peas mature between Laxtonian or Hundred¬ 
fold and Telephone or Alderman. The pods are quite long, 3)^ to 4 in. 
and closely filled with 8 to 10 peas which are deep green, of medium size 
and of high quality. The pods are produced in pairs near the top of the 
vines so they are easily picked. We do not know of a variety of peas that 
year in and year out yields more than the Lincoln.

ADVANCER. (2J^ ft.) Matures in mid-season between the early and late 
kinds. The pods are of medium size but so well filled they contain just 
as many peas as the very large podded varieties. The vines are of low, 
stocky growth and yield immense crops. The quality of the peas is of the 
very best. This is one of the finest kinds we know of for home canning.

Tall Varieties 
SENATOR. (3J^ ft.) This is an extremely high 
quality pea, being the sweetest and finest flavored 
late pea with which we are acquainted. The vines 
are well covered with pods which are 4 in. long and 
filled full of deep green peas, there often being 8 
to 9 in a pod. They mature ready for use two or 
three days later than Alderman and Telephone. 
The vines are stout and need little or no support.

MLDERMAN. (4-5 ft.) A very fine pea for main 
crop. This is really an improved Telephone, and 
is by far the best variety of this type. Yields more 
than any other variety. The pods resemble 
Telephone, but are larger, deeper green and better 
filled, while the vines are of more robust growth 
and more prolific. For best results the vines 
should be given some support. The pods are 
! immense, often 5 inches long and contain 8 to 10 
large peas. Matures medium late.
