ROBSON SEED FARMS * HALL, N. Y. 
Laxton Progress is one of the earliest and most 
productive large podded pea. The vine is short and 
requires no support. The peas are large and of very 
fine quality. 
PUMPKIN 
1 oz. will sow 20 hills 
WINTER LUXURY : 100 days. An early variety for 
the home garden and local market. A trifle larger 
than small sugar; weighing from 7 to 8 pounds. Skin 
is orange-yellow covered by light netting. Flesh 
thick and fine flavored. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 12 cts.; 
yi lb. 30 cts.; lb. $1.00.

to 8 pounds. Flesh is thick, sweet and fine grained. 
The common pie variety. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.;

coarse for home use but used extensively for canning 
and stock feeding. Weigh from 15 to 20 lbs. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; y^ lb. 20 cts.; lb. 60 cts. 
PEAS 
1 lb. will sow 100 ft. row 
SURPRISE OR ECLIPSE: 61 days. We are not list¬ 
ing Alaska as we cannot see any place for it in the 
North. Surprise is just as early and productive and 
of far better quality. It is a sweet wrinkled variety 
growing 28 to 30 inches tall. The pod is 3 inches 
long containing 6 to 8 peas. Only desirable for home 
garden, y lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.70; 
100 lbs. $14.00. 
LITTLE MARVEL: 62 days. One of the older vari¬ 
eties of early wrinkled peas but one of the best, if 
not the best. Our experience is that it will outyield 
Surprise and is more dwarf, growing only 18 inches 
tall. The pods are about 3 inches long, 7 to 8 peas 
in a pod. Like Surprise, it is not desirable for ship¬ 
ping as the pods are too small. Little Marvel is 
much better for home markets, the pod being a darker 
green than Surprise, y lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts. ; 
15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $14.00. 
LAXTON PROGRESS: 62 days. The most popular 
of the dwarf, large podded, wrinkled, local market 
and shipping varieties. Vines 16 to 18 inches high. 
Pods 4 y to 5 inches long, pointed containing 7 to 9 
large peas of good quality. Pods grow singly on 
vine. y 2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.85; 100 
lbs. $15.00 
THOMAS LAXTON : 63 days. A medium early vari¬ 
ety for home and market garden. First of the Lax¬ 
ton group to be introduced. Now largely replaced 
by Laxton Progress. Vines 30 to 36 inches tall. 
Pods 3 y to 3 yi inches long, square ended containing 
7 to 8 large tender peas of good quality. % lb. 15 
cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
MIDSEASON GIANT : 67 days. Very similar to, if 
not identical with, Asgrow 40, Giant Stride and Wy¬ 
oming Wonder. Matures after the early varieties 
and seems to stand the hot weather better than most 
varieties of this season. The vines grow about 20 
inches high. The \y inch pods contain 8 to 9 large 
peas of good quality. Pods are dark green which 
make it a desirable shipping variety. y 2 lb. 15 cts. ; 
lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.85; 100 lbs. $15.50. 
ALDERMAN OR DARK PODDED TELEPHONE: 
74 days. This is so much better than the old Tele¬ 
phone that we no longer list that variety. Alderman 
is the late variety commonly used in sections where 
peas are grown for shipping. The vine grows about 
40 inches tall, the pods 4 y 2 to 5 y inches long, dark 
green and contain 8 to 10 plump large peas. We con¬ 
sider Alderman the best tall pea. y lb. 15 cts. ; lb. 
25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
STRATAGEM: 79 days. A superior late wrinkled all 
purpose variety that seems to be quite resistant to 
wilt. Vines grow about 25 inches high and set a 
good crop of dark green pods about 4 y inches long, 
8 to 10 large peas in a pod. y lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 
cts.; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $15.00.

MOSS CURLED OR TRIPLE CURLED: 120 days. 
A compact plant with very dark green leaves, exceed¬ 
ingly finely cut and curled. Very desirable for gar¬ 
nishing and decorative purposes. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
10 cts.; y lb. 30 cts.; lb. 80 cts.
