ROBSON SEED FARMS ^ HALL, N. Y. 
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. lb. 15 cts.; lb. 20 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.50 pre¬ 
paid; 100 lbs. $12.50. Not prepaid. 
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. J /2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 
15lbs. $2.70 prepaid; 100 lbs. $14.00. Not prepaid. 
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 43 ^ to 5 inches long, pointed containing 7 to 9 
large peas of good quality. Pods grow singly on 
vine. ^2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.70 pre¬ 
paid; 100 lbs. $14.25. Not prepaid. 
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 3 ^ to 3 3<4 inches long, square ended containing 
7 to 8 large tender peas of good quality. 3 ^ lb. 15 
cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.70 prepaid; 100 lbs. 
$14.25. Not prepaid. 
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 43 ^ inch pods contain 8 to 9 large 
peas of good quality. Pods are dark green which 
make it a desirable shipping variety. 3 ^ lb. 15 cts.; 
lb. 25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.85 prepaid; 100 lbs. $15.50. 
Not prepaid. 
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 43 ^ to 53^ inches long, dark 
green and contain 8 to 10 plump large peas. We con¬ 
sider Alderman the best tall pea. j /2 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 
25 cts.; 15 lbs. $2.55 prepaid; 100 lbs. $13.25. Not 
prepaid. 
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 43^ inches long, 
8 to 10 large peas in a pod. 3^ lb. 15 cts.; lb. 20 
cts.; 15 lbs. $2.50 prepaid; 100 lbs. $12.50. Not 
prepaid. 
SALSIFY or Vegetable 
Oyster 
1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND: An improved 
variety that grows very large and is of fine quality. 
Roots 6 to 8 inches long, 1 to 1 3 ^ inches thick, taper¬ 
ing, smooth, dull white. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 
lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.60. 
Swiss Chard properly grown and handled will supply the table with 
greens throughout the summer and fall. As soon as the leaves of 
Swiss Chard are large enough for greens, carefully cut them tak¬ 
ing care not to injure the heart. The plants will keep on growing 
new leaves all through the season. 
SWISS CHARD 
1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
LUCULLUS: 50 to 60 days. Desirable for home and 
market garden use. Large upright yellowish-green 
leaves; heavily crumpled. Stem thick, broad, light 
green in color; most popular of chards. Pkt. 5 cts.; 
oz. 10 cts.; L 4 lb. 20 cts.; lb. 65 cts. 
FORDHOOK GIANT : 50 to 60 days. Leaves broad, 
upright in growth, very dark green, crumpled with 
broad white mid-rib. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; 3 ^ 
lb. 20 cts.; lb. 65 cts. 
RADISH 
1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE: 24 days. The most 
popular variety for both commercial and home use. 
Olive shaped and rich bright scarlet in color. The 
flesh is white and tender. Tops are medium. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; lb. 20 cts.; lb. 65 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$ 6 . 00 . 
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE : 24 days. Special short 
topped stock for greenhouse forcing. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
15 cts.; }i lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts.; 10 lbs. $7.00. 
COMET : 24 days. Much like the Early Scarlet Globe 
but round instead of olive shaped; fully as early. It 
has a medium top, is bright scarlet in color and holds 
longer than other varieties without becoming pithy. 
We believe Comet is a valuable addition to our 
radish list. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 30 cts.; 
lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $9.00. 
ICICLE: 27 days. The best early white radish. Roots 
are 5 to 5X inches long, slender, tapering at the tip. 
Flesh clear white and very crisp, will remain edible 
longer than the early varieties. We suggest mixing 
this with either Scarlet Globe or Comet. In pulling 
the earlier variety you make room for the Icicles to 
bottom. Pkt. 5 cts,; oz. 10 cts.; X lb. 20 cts.; lb. 
65 cts.; 10 lbs. $6.00. 
Peas should be planted as early as possible in the spring to insure the largest yield.
