WORLD'S RECORD 
SECOND EARLY AND MAIN 
CROP VARIETIES 
*ALDERMAN—Undoubtedly the best of the dark- 
podded Telephone type of peas and now more largely 
grown for either market or home garden than any of 
the tall-growing main crop varieties. Vines strong and 
sturdy, nearly 4 feet in height, and loaded with mam¬ 
moth dark green pods nearly 5 inches in length, very 
broad, straight, pointed, and well filled with large 
sweet peas of highest quality. 
♦BUSS EVERBEARING — An old standard late main 
crop variety, maturing with Telephone. 
♦CHAMPION OF ENGLAND—One of the oldest and 
best known varieties; vine 4 feet in height with large 
pods well filled with peas of highest quality. 
♦DWARF CHAMPION, RICE'S IMPROVED —A fine 
main crop variety of the best quality. Vines are about 
2 ¥j feet in height and well filled with large pods. 
♦DWARF TELEPHONE, or CARTER'S DAISY—A stan¬ 
dard main crop variety popular with market gardeners. 
Vine and foliage exceptionally stout, medium green 
in color; height 2 feet; pods medium green. 4 inches 
long, broad, straight and pointed, containing 7 to 8 
bright green peas of high quality; fairly productive. 
MARROWFAT, LARGE WHITE — Quite similar to the 
Black-Eyed variety except the seed is entirely white. 
♦ONWARD -One of the finest English peas of recent 
introduction. Grows about three feet in height, having 
heavy dark green foliage and mid-season in maturity; 
pods 4 inches long, broad, dark green in color, and of 
excellent quality. One of the most productive sorts 
and should prove more profitable than the Telephone 
types. 
♦THOMAS LAXTON—The favorite large-podded mar¬ 
ket gardeners’ variety and probably more generally 
grown for market purposes than any other sort. Vines 
2M> feet in height, bearing numerous well-filled pods 
3Vu inches long, nearly round, square ended and of 
high quality. Noted for its productiveness and de¬ 
pendability. 
♦WORLD'S RECORD — An improved type of Gradus, 
which it resembles in many ways; might well be 
considered an improvement on that sort, being slightly 
earlier, more productive and true to a fixed type. Grows 
about 2 feet in height, with large, dark green pods 
nearly 4 inches in length, broad, pointed, and always 
well filled with large, sweet peas of splendid quality. 
An excellent, profitable sort for home or market garden.
