Burgess’ Drought-Proof 


Laxtonian 
WYOMING 
WONDER 
Wilt-Resistant Mammoth-Podded Pea that 
has the Unusual Quality of Remaining Tender 
and Sweet a Week or Ten Days After Reach- 
Ing the Picking Stage. 
Our Select Market Growers’ Strain of Wyo- 
ming Wonder is one of the most valuable va- 
rieties ever introduced. Its pods are 5 to 6 
and often 614 inches long, very dark green, 
pointed and somewhat curved at the tip, mak- 
ing it a very attractive market sort. It is ex- 
eeptional in quality, making it a superb va- 
-riety for the home garden as well as for the 
market. Vine 24 to 28 inches tall. Matures 
in about 75 days. Resistant to Fusarium Wilt. 

Peas are not only delicious food but 
they contain iron and vitamins A, C 


Burgess’ Northern Grown Pearl 
One pint of seed for 50 feet of row; 
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% 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 ; 
about a week earlier. Pods, 4% 
inches long, containing 8 to 10 large, 
dark green peas of extra fine quality 
and sweet flavor. Vines 2 feet. 
ALDERMAN (Improved Dark-Pod- 
ded Telephone). A leading mid-sea- 
son or main crop variety. Height, 40 
inches. The dark pods are 4%4 inches 
in length and contain 8 or 10 very 
large peas. Sweet and tasty. 
Drought-Proof Pea 
Laughs at Drought, Smiles at Rain 
BURGESS’ 
DROUGHT-PROOF will do well under a wider 
range of weather 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 hot, dry local- 
ities of the West this variety will grow a large crop without irri- 
gation 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, Hast or West. .

Large-Podded 

Little Marvel 
LAXTONIAN 
Improved Extra Early Strain 
This is an early large podded va-. 
tiety with a dwarf vine, and is grow-" 
ing more in favor every year. Vines 
about 16 inches high, with dark green 
pods about 414 inches long; pods well 
filled with large peas of the very best ’ 
quality. Comes in bearing at the same =e 
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 gar- 
dener 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 ma- 
ture only a few days following Thomas - 
Laxton. : 
THOMAS LAXTON (Dark 
Podded). Only a few days later 
than American Wonder, but pods 
and peas much larger. Unsur- 
passed for quality; very produc- 
tive, vines 21% feet. Dark pods 


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.
