EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES OF MEDIUM HEIGHT.' 
Alaska. Height, 2 feet. A wonderfully early, smooth, blue Pea 
vines slender; pods about 3 inches long, well filled with small 
smooth blue-green Peas. The earliness and uniformity 
ripening render it a desirable market and canning Pea . 
Ameer. Height, 3 feet. This resembles Alaska, the vine being 
vigorous, a little taller and the pods and Peas are one-third 
larger. It is a heavy producer of handsome pods, containing 
from 5 to 7 large blue-green round Peas of excellent quality. 
The crop ripens about three days later than Alaska. . . 
First of All, Henderson’s. Height, 2 y 2 feet. {See Specialties 
page 51.) {See engraving, page 73). 
♦Prosperity, Henderson’s. Height, 2 y 2 feet. {See Specialties 
Page 51).*.

SECOND or MEDIUM-EARLY VARIETIES.

the bottom and bearing abundantly roundish pods 3 to 3 ]A inches

Pea, noted for its uniform growth and prodigious yield. The 
pods, though of medium size, are packed with Peas of sweet 
flavor. (See engraving.) . 
♦Laxtonian. A grand, early, dwarf Pea. The pods of Laxtonian 
are very large, and are produced on alow-growing, sturdy vine, 
without support of any kind. Unlike many of its class, Laxton¬ 
ian fills to the full its ample pods with large and luscious Peas. 
The flavor is just as rich and good as any of the later varieties, 
which entitles it to a permanent place in every garden. It is 
ready for use just about a week later than the very early sorts, 
and is incomparably good in quality. It is admirable for private 
gardens, where its abundant crop, produced so early in the 
season, is extremely welcome. The plant is only 134 feet high 
branching in habit. Pods and plant are rich, dark green in 
color, revealing a constitutional strength which enables it to 
resist the extreme conditions to which Peas are subjected in 
many sections of the United States.

“Petit-Pois,” or French Pea. Height, 3 to 4 feet. The real 
French Pea as imported. The long, slim pods contain 8 to 10

early and prolific.
