dwarf early variety for home gardens 
and shipping. May be planted almost 
as early as the smooth pea variety. 
Vines 15 to 20 inches. Pods 4 to 414 
inches long, % inches wide, contain¬ 
ing 8 to 10 large deep green peas. 
Thomas Laxton. Large podded, extra 
early pea. In earliness the Thomas

hind the Alaska, but the pods are 
very much larger, containing on the 
average seven or eight large, sweet, 
wrinkled peas of the very richest 
flavor. Vines 3 to 3 y 2 feet.

Alderman. This is a very large pod¬ 
ded pea, very robust and vigorous, 
producing pods of the largest size, 
well filled with large peas of most 
excellent flavor. The vines are strong 
and branching, bearing rich, deep- 
green, straight, handsome pods aver¬ 
aging 4 y 2 to 5 inches in length, point* 
ed at the end. The vines are from 3 y 2 
to 4 feet in height. As is true of most 
wrinkled varieties they are delicious, 
but the Alderman is of a quality sur¬ 
passing many of the others.

prolific and bears many very 
large, well filled pods contain¬ 
ing large, dark green, wrinkled 
peas of rich, sweet flavor.
