soil, but will make good roots. on any soil which is 
deep, mellow and moderately yich, Fresh manure is 
apt to make the roots a little coarse and ill shaped. As

sown as early as possible in drills two and one-half 
feet apart, cover one-half inch deep and press the soil 
firmly over the seed. Give frequent cultivation and thin 
the plants to three or four to the foot.

ety which has proved to be perfectly adapted to the 
Northwest. Our seed has been grown in this locality 
for several seasons, and is thoroughly acclimated. The 
vines are semi-dwarf, growing about three feet high, 
and the yield, size and qualtiy of the peas is wonder- 
ful considering its extreme earliness. The pods are 
large, dark green, of the Gradus type, and are filled 
with eight or ten large wrinkled peas, sweet and of 
fine flavor.

Laxton’s Progress—The earliest and by far the best

all the varieties producing peas of equal quality, this 
is the heaviest yielding. It bears long’pods, averaging 
one more pea to the pod than Blue’ Bantam, Hundred- 
fold, Pioneer or Laxtonian. It is an improvement upon 
Laxtonian, which has hitherto been the finest of the 
dwarfs for table quality.
