^LASKA, or Earliest of All. 
j The earliest blue pea, very uniform 
in growth. The dark green color of the 
pods makes it extremely desirable, as it 
can be carried long distances without 
loosing color, which quality, combined 
with its earliness and uniformity oi 
ripening, makes it a most desirable ex¬ 
tra early pea for market gardeners; 
height, two feet. 
pgOTT’S EXCELSIOR.^ 
The most valuable of all 
Dwarf Early Wrinkled Peas 
Surpassing in Earliness, Yield and Quality. 
This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled 
Pea, usually ready for the 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 as the American Wonder. 
It is of vigorous constitution, and won¬ 
derfully productive. 
Thomas Laxton. The plant is a hardy and 
strong grower, producing extra large pods in 
abundance. The quality is delicious, and cannot 
be surpassed. The “Thomas Laxton” will ma¬ 
ture nearly as early as any of the extra early 
smooth Peas, and being a wrinkled sort is much 
sweeter. When this variety is thoroughly intro¬ 
duced it will command equal attention with 
“Gradus.” 
Dwarf Telephone. A second-early dwarf pea 
with immense pods and peas. A magnificent 
sort. The self-supporting, stout plants are fairly 
loaded with large bright green pods, which are 
always well filled. Each pod contains 7 to 9 
large peas, of a bright green color, tender and 
well flavored.
