LAXTON’S PROGRESS. This is the earliest of the large-podded dwarf varieties. The 
---1 pods are as large as Laxtonian and Hundredfold, 4 inches 
long, broad and pointed, deep green in color, containing 8 large dark green Peas of very 
high quality. The vines are 15 to 18 inches in height and are very productive. Laxton’s 
Progress will mature Peas 4 days earlier than Laxtonian, Blue Bantam, or Hundredfold 
THOMAS LAXTON. yines resemble Gradus, growing from 2)^ to 3 feet high, but are 
- lighter in color and mature at the same time. This first-early Pea 
has a vigorous, hardy constitution and can be planted with the first-early smooth-seeded 
sorts. It yields a heavy crop of straight, nearly round, square-ended, medium green pods, 
about 334 inches long and packed with 7 to 8 fine medium green Peas. 
WORLD'S RECORD. An earlier strain of the well-known Gradus Pea and does not 
- - grow quite as tall, averaging 2 feet in height. The medium 
green, moderately stout vines, however, are more productive, bearing medium green 
E >ods, 4 inches long, which are fairly broad, pointed and well filled with from 7 to 9 very 
arge, dark green Peas of exceptionally fine quality. Matures 3 days before Gradus. 
Other Early Varieties

crops of large, deep bluish green pods. The pointed pods are 4 to 43^ inches long, smooth, 
and packed tightly with 8 to 10 extra-large luscious Peas which have a nice flavor. 
LAXTONIAN. The dwarf 18-inch vines are very vigorous, sturdy and productive, with 
dark green foliage, and produce very dark green, large, full pods 4 inches long, curving 
very slightly to the point. Matures slightly earlier than Gradus. 
LITTLE MARVEL. A dwarf early Pea of fine quality, in season a few days later than 
Gradus or Thomas Laxton. Vines 15 inches tall, bearing a remarkably large crop of pods 
which average 33^ inches long and are filled with sweet, dark green large Peas. The 
pods, often produced in pairs, are straight, deep green, and square ended.

sort, grown on a large scale for first crop. The vines, of a peculiar, distinctive, light green, 
are 2Yi to 3 feet high. Pods are light green, about 2)^ inches long, straight, round, blunt- 
ended, and well filled with small, smooth, blue-green Peas of good flavor.

broad, and pointed at the end, slightly curved, and contain 8 to 9 very large Peas.
