New Dwarf 
FIRST-EARLY 
MARROW PEA 
LAXTONIAN 
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE OF ALL DWARF EXTRA EARLY PEAS 
LARGEST PODS—LARGEST PEAS—AND FINEST QUALITY 
T HIS valuable variety of recent introduction represents the highest advance in 
dwarf early Pea breeding. The dark, green-leaved vines grow only 16 to 18 
inches in height, are hardy, sturdy, vigorous and healthy, require no support¬ 
ing trellis or brush, and bear in prodigal abundance from bottom to top of vines giant 
dark green plump pods, averaging 4 inches in length and packed full with 8 to 10 
very large wrinkled deep blue-green Peas double the size of any other early dwarf 
variety and having the true rich marrow flavor, tenderness and quality of the best 
of the tall main crop English Marrowfat Peas. It is as early as any of the Amer¬ 
ican Wonder type, being ready to pick green for the table in from 40 to 45 days from 
seed sowing or a few days earlier than Prosperity. The deep green color of the pods 
and Peas is maintained for several days rendering it exceptionally desirable not only 
as a table Pea, but for market gardener’s trade. The many merits of the Laxtonian 
P°a—extreme earliness, large size of 
peas and pod, great productive¬ 
ness, rich green color, unsur¬ 
passed quality, etc.,—will 
we predict place Lax- 
tor, .n at the head of 
all early dwarf Peas 
for years to come.

NOTTS EXCELSIOR PEA 
Henderson's FIRST OF ALL PEA 
I S a hard-shell, round-seeded Pea that can be sown when frost 
is barely out of the ground, before it is safe to sow 
wrinkle seeded sorts. This, with its quickness of growth 
and maturity, renders it the earliest Pea on record. 
HENDERSON’S FIRST OF ALL is unequalled for general 
excellence, yield, size of pod and regularity of ripening. 
It is 2 \ feet high, and produces pods of good size, which are 
well filled with round, smooth Peas of splendid flavor. It 
is a prodigious bearer, and in this last feature, with its 
extreme earliness, lies its great value to market gardeners 
and truckers. At the same time, we know of no variety that is 
more popular than Henderson’s First of All in private gardens. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for four qts., $2.50 pk. 
“/ sowed your First of All Peas, May 17th and on the Fourth of July we picked 
enough for dinner. The vines were loaded completely with pods.” 
ARTHUR WHITNEY, Wells River , Vt. 
“7 have a fine crop of your First of 
they are a picture. Everybody passing 
to eat as they are handsome.” 
All Peas ready to pick on the 8th of Jzine; 
stops to admire them and they are as good 
JOHN DA Y, White stone, N. Y. 
“We find your First of All Peas delicious.” Mrs. B. A. McDONNELL, 
Macdonaldton, Pa. 
T HIS is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready 
for table in 40 to 45 days from planting, only a few days 
later than the early round sorts. It grows about 14 inches 
high, or about half as tall again as the American Wonder. It is 
of vigorous constitution, and wonderfully productive, in which 
respect it excels such sorts as American Wonder. The even, 
regular habit of the plant is also a great advantage, particularly 
to market growers. Nott’s Excelsior has superseded many sorts 
of like character. (See cut.)

“On June 12 we had our first mess of your Nolt's Excelsior Peas. This was 
exceptionally early and beats any around here.” Dr. E. G. GRA V, 
Ludington, Mich. 
ADVANCER PEA 
A RELIABLE second early green wrinkled Pea, following the 
first earlies; it is of healthy, compact growth, about 2\ 
feet high, bearing in great abundance medium-sized pods, 
but compactly filled with dark green-colored, large wrinkled 
peas, so tender, sweet and finely flavored that this variety is 
often known as the Dwarf Champion. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for four qts., $2.50 pk. 
“The Advancer Peas you sent me last year were the finest we ever raised. The 
vines were literally covered with peas.” W. P. BURROUGHS, 
Roxbury, Mass.
