Large^ Luscious Laxtonian 
This big variety is as early as the small 
American Wonder, and only a little later 
than Alaska. Pods long, vines short. Peas 
are large, wrinkled, sweet, running 7 to 10 
in a pod. Vines require no staking; rows 
may be planted close, to economize space, 
peas easily gathered by the handful, and 
the shelling of a mess is a short job, on 
account of the size of pods and peas. Im¬ 
proved strain. Bxtra fine. Large pkt. 10c; 
'/it lb. 18c: lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c: 3 lbs. 80c.

not large, but always 
packed tight. Large pkt. lOc; % lb. 18c; 
lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c: 3 lbs. 90c. 
Stridah 
A wonderful new variety, sec¬ 
ond early, small to medium 
vines, giant pods, filled with large peas of 
splendid flavor. Take my word for it. Plant 
and see what you discover. Large pkt. 10c; 
lb. 18c: lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c: 3 lbs. 90c.

Bear this in mind. The smooth varieties, 
like Alaska and Ameer, may be planted very 
early, even in February if soil permits. They 
seldom, if ever, rot in the cold wet ground. 
Because of this these kinds are valuable. They 
deliver the goods early. But the wrinkled 
kinds—Laxtonian, Gradus, Stridah, Alderman, 
etc.—in fact, all the others in my list, are 
sweeter and should be planted fairly early. 
Peas thrive best in the cooler early months 
of the season, and do not do very well from 
late plantings. Beans like hot weather but 
peas prefer it cooler. So plant liberally early 
in spring. Sow rather thick, using a pound 
to about 75 feet of row. 
BCeavy, stiff clay soils, or, in fact, most any 
kind, can be loosened and improved by sprink¬ 
ling a pound of lime to 10 square feet and 
working it into the soil a month or so before 
planting. Do not use lime and manure the 
same season.

To prolong the season still more, plant 
Alaska and Laxtonian first and early. In 
week or so plant Blue Bantam and Dwarf 
Telephone. Then a week or 10 days later 
plant Stridah and Alderman. Don’t hold 
any until late in spring. Peas do best if 
planted rather early.
