Giant-Pod Hamper. A new early variety which we believe is destined to become 
very popular. In season it comes a day later than Laxton’s Progress but has a 
larger pod and more vine. The dark green, pointed, 434 to 5-inch pods mature 
in 65 days and come in large numbers on 22-inch vines with dark green, heavy 
foliage. The flavor and eating qualities are fine.

The 434 to 5-inch, dark green, pointed pods of this new variety are borne in large 
numbers on strong, vigorous, 24-inch vines. It matures in 74 days, with the 
main-crop varieties, and withstands both wilt and hot, dry weather. 
Gilbo. A fine new variety with dark green, heavy, 24 to 28-inch vines with a heavy 
yield of 434 to 5-inch, dark green, pointed, well-filled pods maturing in 69 days or 
about 5 days after Laxton’s Progress. The quality is very fine. Gilbo resists wilt. 
Hundredfold. Ready in 65 days, about 4 days after Laxton’s Progress, and bears 
dark green, fairly broad and pointed pods, 4 inches long, containing about 8 
large, dark green Peas. The vines are 18 inches high, sturdy, and resist heat well. 
Laxton’s Progress. The 43^-inch deep green pointed pods hold 8 or 9 large dark 
green Peas of very high quality. The 15-inch vines are productive and mature 
Peas in 64 days, 1 day before Hundredfold and 5 days after World’s Record. 
Little Marvel. A dwarf, early, very prolific variety maturing the pods in 63 days.
