ety with a dwarf vine, and is growing 
more in favor every year. Vines about 
16 inches high, with dark green pods 
about 4 y 2 inches long; pods well filled 
with large peas of the very best qual¬ 
ity. Comes in bearing at the same 
time as Hundredfold, which it resem¬ 
bles very much. 
HUNDREDFOLD, or BLUE BAN¬ 
TAM. A choice, large podded, early 
variety of the Laxtonian type which 
we can recommend for the market 
gardener and home use. The large, 
dark pods are tightly packed with 8 
to 9 large, deep bluish-green Peas of 
finest quality. Vines 18 inches. Peas 
mature only a few days following 
Thomas Laxton.

Drought-Proof Pea 
Laughs at Drought, Smiles at Rain

and soil conditions than any other variety. It will grow a crop during the driest, 
hottest summer months, at a time any other variety would be a failure. In the 
Burgess’ Drought-Proof 
ALASKA (Wilt-Resistant Strain). 
Our strain of this variety is the earl¬ 
iest Pea grown. Exceedingly produc¬ 
tive, can be planted as soon as ground 
thaws out in the spring. Height, 30 
inches. 
LITTLE MARVEL. The earliest 
wrinkled Pea, and the most productive 
extra-early wrinkled variety. Vines 
grow 18 inches high and are heavily 
set with well-filled pods. 
AMERICAN WONDER. One of the 
finest early Peas; exceedingly dwarf, 
only 10 to 12 inches tall, and a few 
days later than Alaska. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR. Of compact 
growth ; 12 inches tall. Same season 
as American Wonder. 
GRADUS, or Prosperity. A popular 
variety with market growers who de¬ 
mand both earliness and quality. 
Vines 2 y 2 feet tall and bear an enor¬ 
mous crop. Pods 4 inches in length, 
containing 8 to 10 large sweet peas. 
DWARF TELEPHONE, or CAR¬ 
TER’S DAISY. A dwarf growing 
strain of Alderman or Telephone;

inches long, containing 8 to 10 large, 
dark green peas of extra fine quality 
and sweet flavor. Vines 2 feet.

ded Telephone). A leading mid-sea¬ 
son or main crop variety. Height, 40 
inches. The dark pods are 4% inches 
in length and contain 8 or 10 very 
large peas. Sweet and tasty. 
THOMAS LAXTON (Dark Podded).

Wonder, but pods and peas much 
larger. Unsurpassed for quality ; very 
productive, vines 2% feet. Dark pods 
3% inches long, containing 7 to 8 
large, tender peas. 
Little Marvel 
EARLIEST Ur ’Ve p :" ,d 
AMEER WILT-RESISTANT 
This is a cross between Alaska and a 
large podded wrinkled pea and is some¬ 
times called Large Podded Alaska. In 
comparison to Alaska, it is 2 or 3 days 
later, equally as hardy, dwarf upright 
vines completely laden with pods twice 
as large, that may be picked in one-half 
the time. It is resistant to Fusarium 
wilt, which makes it a most valuable 
variety for wilt infested areas. Due to 
its quality, earliness, size and produc¬ 
tiveness, and to the fact that two pick¬ 
ings market the entire crop, gardeners 
who plant for early market will find it 
a money maker. 
GIANT PODDED 
THOMAS LAXTON 
(Select Market Growers’ Strain.) 
Very dark, giant pods, 5 V 2 to 6 
inches long, containing extra 
large, tender, sweet peas. Same 
season as Thomas Laxton ; excep¬ 
tionally productive. 
hot, dry localities of the West this variety will grow a large crop without irriga¬ 
tion and without a single drop of rain falling upon it from seed time to harvest. 
If it rains and the soil is kept moist this variety will produce as large a crop as 
any variety we know of; if it doesn’t rain, and it gets hot and dry, you will get 
a crop anyway. The handsome round pods are well filled with from 7 to 10 peas 
in a pod; quality excellent, sweet and tender, even when the peas are large. 
Vines grow 2 feet high, and require no support. This pea is resistant to 
Fusarium Wilt and will do its best in the North, South, East or West. 
Large White Marrowfat or Baking Pea 
Used extensively for green peas, and the dried peas make a fine dish when 
prepared the same as baked beans. If you have never tried baking dried Mar¬ 
rowfat Peas, do so this year. This variety is also used for sowing with oats for 
feeding stock. 4 V 2 feet high; bears prolifically. Pods 3 inches long, containing 
5 to 6 large white Peas.

WONDER 
Wilt - Resistant Mammoth - Podded 
Pea that has the Unusual Quality of 
Remaining Tender and Sweet a Week 
or Ten Days After Reaching the Pick¬ 
ing Stage.

of Wyoming Wonder is one of the 
most valuable varieties ever intro¬ 
duced. Its pods are 5 to 6 and often 
6%. inches long, very dark green, 
pointed and somewhat curved at the 
tip, making it a very attractive mar¬ 
ket sort. It is exceptional in quality, 
making it a superb variety for the 
home garden as well as for the mar¬ 
ket. Vine 24 to 28 inches tall. Ma¬ 
tures in about 75 days. Resistant to 
Fusarium Wilt. 
LIMA PEA or FROST PROOF BEAN. It belongs to the English Broad Bean 
i i-M family, but we list it among the Peas as well as the Beans, as the 
flavor is much more like peas than beans. For further description see page 6. 
Edible Podded Peas 
(Cook Like Snap Beans) 
These varieties have all the sweetness 
and flavor of fresh green peas. When the 
pods are partly filled, they are prepared 
like snap beans ; when the seeds have de¬ 
veloped, they are eaten as shelled peas. 
MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR. Large, 
fleshy pods, 4 to 4% inches long; string¬ 
less when young, very tender, and richly 
flavored. Vines 4 to 5 feet tall; very pro¬ 
ductive. 70 to 75 days.

smaller than Mammoth Melting Sugar, 
but are ready for use about 10 days 
earlier. 2 feet.
