Laxton’s Progress Peas 
*‘We are always pleased wilh results 
from your seeds. Last year found that the 
Laxton's Progress peas were just what we 
had been trying to find in early peas.” 
H. K. Atwood , Lisbon, TV. hi. April 11, 
19U. 
Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable that we 
know of than fresh, young green peas picked 
right off the vines in your garden and cooked 
immediately. If the garden is small, sow all the 
land you can spare. When you are eating and 
enjoying luscious green peas from your own gar¬ 
den you will not regret the space they take. 
After the peas are gone the land can be used for 
late cabbage, turnips, spinach, etc. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds 
at the same time so they will mature in succes¬ 
sion. This is better than to sow one kind three or 
four times during the season. 
Plant Enough to Can 
Next to fresh peas there is nothing quite so 
succulent and tender as home canned peas. To 
be at their best they should be picked young and 
canned a few hours after picking. 
The very earliest peas like Alaska and Surprise have small pods. Mam¬ 
moth Podded Extra Early, Thomas Laxton, World's Record and Gradus are 
only three or four days later and have much larger pods. Laxton’s Progress 
is two or three days later but has larger pods. Midseason Giant, Dwarf 
Alderman 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: 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 
pa id. ’ ’ See ins ide front cover. 
Early Varieties 
LAXTON’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 stock of Laxton’s Progress is superior to any similar variety we 
know. The vines are 15 to 18 in. high and the pods 4 to 4J4 in. long, 
deep green and well filled with dark green peas of high quality. Laxton’s 
Progress should be included in every home and commercial planting. 
y 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7 y 2 Lbs. $2.25 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.30; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.65. 
THOMAS LAXTON. (3 ft.) One of the most popular early peas for both 
home and market gardeners. The peas are of first class quality, being 
large and tender. The vines are very productive of large pods (2)^ to 3 
inches long) of the finest quality. Season the same as Gradus. 
l/ 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; iy 2 Lbs. $2.10 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.10; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.80. 
Alaska. (2 ft.) One of the earliest kinds. Small pods. 
y 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; l x / 2 Lbs. $1.95 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
GRADUS also called Prosperity. (2 y 2 ft.) One of the best early large 
podded peas both for home gardens and commercial growers. 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 in. long and 
are filled with large peas of the highest quality. 
l/ 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7y 2 Lbs. $2.20 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.25; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.35. 
Surprise or Eclipse. (2J^ 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 prolific. One of the best very early peas, and we highly recommend 
it for family use. 
l/ 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7V 2 Lbs. $2.10 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.00; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.50. 
First and Best or Pedigree Extra Early. (2 ft.) Early as Alaska and 
has larger pods. Very hardy and one of the earliest peas grown. 
l/ 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7l/ 2 Lbs. $1.95 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
WORLD’S RECORD. (2J^ ft.) We recommend this variety most highly. It is really 
an improved Gradus and is steadily replacing that variety. It matures between Mam¬ 
moth Podded Extra Early and Gradus, being the earliest wrinkled pea with large 
pods. The pods are 3 y 2 to 4 in. long and filled with large peas which are very tender 
and sweet. The sturdy vines bear heavily. 
y 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; l x / 2 Lbs. $2.20; transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $3.25; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.35. 
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 the most 
profitable market variety and an excellent kind for the home garden where 
large, very early peas are wanted. 
l/ 2 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7l/ 2 Lbs. $2.30 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.45; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $11.20. 
HUNDREDFOLD or BLUE BANTAM. (20 in.) Resembles the old Laxtonian 
very much but is larger, has darker pods and is more prolific. The pods are 3 Y 2 
to 4 inches long and well filled with large deep green peas of fine quality. 
The vines are very strong, maturing only a few days after Gradus and 
Thomas Laxton.

Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.30; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $10.65. 
LITTLE 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.

pea of fine quality. Pods 2J^ to 3 in. long. Very prolific.
