introduced in 1933 by Woodruffs. It is of the Superb type, 
but has very dark green foliage and pods, a vine about two 
feet tall and matures in about 65 days. It is very hardy and 
can be planted early. The pods are 3j4 to 4 inches long, 
pointed, somewhat curved and mostly set in pairs. Lb., 20c; 
15 lbs., $2.25; 60 lbs., $8.00. 
EASY MONEY One of the greatest peas we have ever 
offered, as it produces a large, plump, dark green pod 
similar to Gradus, but is ready five to ten days earlier. 
The vine is considerably shorter than Gradus. Lb., 25c; 
14 lbs., $2.50; 56 lbs., $9.00. 
LAXTON'S PROGRESS A new variety of great merit and 
popularity. The pods are large, 4 to 4J4 inches long, and 
of a fine dark green color. Vines grow only 18 to 20 
inches high, and bear a heavy crop of handsome pods. 
Being one of the earliest of the sweet wrinkled sorts, 
Laxton’s Progress is in great demand everywhere. Ma¬ 
tures in about 55 to 58 days. Lb., 25c; 14 lbs., $2.50; 56 lbs., 
$8.50.

the early garden varieties. Bears a heavy crop of dark

Laxton's Progress 
PEAS 
Culture Sow in earliest spring, in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, drilling 
the seed 1 to 2 inches deep. Smooth varieties may be sown earlier than 
wrinkled varieties. Peas for market are seldom bushed. In home gardens, 
the taller varieties may be sown in double rows 12 inches apart and 
supported with brush. One pound is enough for 100 feet of row; 2 
bushels per acre. A quart weighs nearly two pounds. A bushel of smooth 
peas weigh 60 pounds; wrinkled peas, 56 pounds.
