PEAS 
Five New Varieties from Expert Growers in 
England 
The Thomas Laxton 
Tliis, the only rival to the famous 
“Gradus,” is the earliest large-podded 
wrinkled pea known, with pods and peas 
of the very largest size and almost as 
early as the regular Extra Early Peas. 
The enormous pods are full with from 
six to ten wrinkled marrow peas of the 
most delicious flavor. The peas are deep 
green in color, present a most attractive 
appearance on the table, and so sweet 
they “melt in the mouth.” Although 
it commences bearing so very early, it 
continues for a long time, the peas also 
remaining sweet and tender for a long 
time after they are fit to pick. Price, 
pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 45c., by mail, 
postpaid ; by express or freight, qt., 30c.; 
4 qts., $1.00 ; peck, $1.85; bush., $7.00. 
English Wonder 
This new dwarf pea resembles Ameri¬ 
can Wonder in type, but is a little later 
and more uniform. The vine is about 6 
inches taller than American Wonder, 
and a great producer of long, handsome, 
well-filled pods, yielding double the 
amount of peas. The peas are wrinkled, 
of exceptionally fine quality and excel¬ 
lent flavor. Sure to command top prices 
in the markets. Price, pkt., 15c.; pint, 
35c.; qt.,60c., by mail, postpaid; by ex¬ 
press, qt.,45c.; 4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.50. 
Carter’s Daffodil 
A VERY PROLIFIC FIRST EARLY PEA 
The name “Carter” has become a 
synonym for“ fine peas,” and in “Carter’s 
Daffodil ” we have a valuable addition 
to those originated by James Carter & 
Co., the w'ell-known pea experts of Great 
Britain. It is a great advance on any 
other of the Early Dwarf Sorts. Its height is 18 inches, of bushy habit, with pods filled to the 
ends with peas of rich deep green color and delicious quality. Seed from originator’s stock. Price, pkt., 
15c.; pint, 35c.; qt., 60c., postpaid; by express, qt., 45c.; 4 qts., $1.55 ; peck, $2.75. 
Senator 
This is a main crop English pea of fine quality. The vine is about 3 feet in length and very pro¬ 
ductive. The pods are heavy with wrinkled marrow peas, which are marvels of sweetness. Senator 
will amply repay a trial. Price, pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., postpaid ; by express, qt., 40c.; 4 qts., 
$1.40; peck, $2.25. 
The Dainty Duchess 
This new pea, named and introduced by us into this country last season, resembles the well-known 
favorite Telephone, but is superior in quality and yield. It is a wrinkled pea, of tall habit, robust 
growth, hardy and vigorous, producing large, well-filled pods in great profusion. The peas are of extra 
size, borne 8 or 10 to a pod, and possess a superior delicious sugary flavor. (For its handsome appearance 
and large size see photograph given above.) Prices, pkt., 10c.; pint, 35c.; qt., 60c., postpaid ; by express, 
qt., 45c.; 4 qts., $1,50; peck, $2.50; bush,, $8.00. _ 
Mas. D. D. Hock, Oley, Pa., September 16, 1907, writes: — “I have raised many peas, but never any with such large 
pods and so well filled as the Dainty Duchess. The pea is of extra fine flavor.” 
Wm. H. Long, Easton, Pa., September 17, 1907, writes: — “The Dainty Duchess Pea is O. K. Delicious in flavor, 
sweet and tender. The vines hang full and all the pods are well filled.”
