GARDEN PEAS—FIRST EARLY VARIETIES— 
Continued 
Saxonia. This, one of the most recent introduc¬ 
tions, has proved a valuable acquisition to the 
extra early round strains. It yields with great 
freedom, and the medium sized pods are filled 
with peas of remarkably fine flavor. Height 2 
to 2}/2 feet. Pt. 20c., qt. 35c., 4 qts. $1.35, pk. 
$2.60, bus. $10.00. 
*Sutton’s Excelsior. A handsome dwarf variety 
which comes into bearing very early. Extensively 
grown by market gardeners, and is considered 
by many the best all around Pea for the home 
garden. The vines are stout and hardy and pro¬ 
duce, in great abundance, large, straight, pale 
green pods which are crowded with peas of ex¬ 
quisite flavor. Seed green and wrinkled. Height 
about 15 inches. Pt. 30c., qt. 50c., 4 qts. $1.75, 
pk. $3.25, bus. $12,00. 
*Thomas Laxton. In some quarters this Pea is 
claimed to possess greater merit than the famous 
Gradus, which in many characteristics it closely 
resembles. The pods are not quite as large, but 
they are more numerous and better filled with 
peas of extra fine quality. Height about 3 feet. 
Pt. 30c., qt. 50c., 4 qts. $1.75, pk. $3.25, bus. 
$ 12 . 00 . 
*World’s Record. Said to be an improved type 
of Gradus which it greatly resembles both as to 
growth of vine and size, shape and color of pods, 
fully as early and as far as our trial goes seems to 
l3e an excellent strain. We think those that try 
it will be well pleased. Pt. 30c., qt. 50c., 4 qts. 
$1.75, pk. $3.25, bus. $12.00.
