Thomas Laxton 
Very prolific and wonderful to eat. 
190 THOMAS LAXTON. Early and Very Delicious. (3 ft.) 
61 days. One of the finest.and most 
popular early peas for both home and market garden. The vines are 
strong and vigorous and very productive of good pods (2% to 3% 
inches long) of the finest quality. The peas have a very delicious flavor 
and are exceptionally tender and sweet. Pods blunt, as shown in the 
photo above, and very well filled. 
Thomas Laxton is highly recommended for canning and is by far the 
best early kind for freezing. They are not only wonderful to eat fresh 
but they hold their quality longer than most kinds.

Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable than fresh, 
young green peas picked right off the vines in your 
garden and cooked immediately. If the garden is 
small, sow all the land you can spare. When you 
are eating and enjoying luscious green peas from 
your own garden you will not regret the space they 
take. After the peas are gone, the ground can be 
used for late cabbage, turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
Peas should be planted as early in the spring as 
the soil can be worked. Make a trench about 2in. 
deep and scatter the peas just so they are not 
touching each other. The rows should be 24% to3 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds 
at the same time so they will mature in succession. 
This is better than to sow one kind three or four 
times during the season. See collections on next page. 
At the prices here quoted, we prepay trans- 
portation charges on peas to places in the

EARLY VARIETIES 
195 WORLD’S RECORD. The Best 

(214 ft.) 59 days. The earliest pea of high qual- 
ity, and tremendously popular for both market 
and home use. Our strain is famous for its large 
pods, big yields and the fine flavor and sweetness 
of the peas. See full description on page 4.

Big, well-filled pods on dwarf vines. 
160 GREATER PROGRESS. (New). (18 in.) 61 days. An 
earlier and improved new pea 
resembling Laxton’s Progress but much better. Long pointed dark 
green pods which are very well filled. See full description on page 4.

158 GRADUS also called Prosperity. (3 ft.) 60 days. Ripens just after 
World’s Record and is one of the most popular early large podded 
peas. The pods are 3 to 3% in. long and are filled with large peas which 
are very sweet and tender.

170 LITTLE MARVEL. New Large Podded Strain. (15 in.) 62 days. 
This pea lives up to its name—it is a real ‘““marvel’”’ for home gardens 
because of its tremendous yields and delicious quality. Formerly con- 
sidered too small by some people, this fine pea has now been improved 
to produce broader and slightly longer pods and considerably larger 
peas. The peas are just as sweet and fine flavored as ever and they 
stand longer than most kinds without getting tough. The dwarf vines 
are wonderfully prolific, producing great quantities of tightly filled, 
deep green pods, averaging a good three inches long, and ripening 
shortly after World’s Record. We highly recommend this strain, 
particularly for home gardens. Well adapted for quick freezing. 
Pkt. 10c; 44 Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 85c; 714 Lbs. $2.40; 15 Lbs. $4.50. 
165 LAXTON’S PROGRESS. “arze Podded. (18 in.) 63 
days. The vines are 15 to 18 in. 
high and the pods 4 to 41% in. long, deep green and well filled with 
dark green peas of high quality. Maturing right after Thomas Laxton, 
it has long been the standard medium early variety both for home 
and commercial use. 
Pkt. 10c; 44 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 75c; 714 Lbs. $2.25; 15 Lbs. $4.20. 
163 HUNDREDFOLD or BLUE BANTAM. (20 in.) 65 days. Re- 
sembles Laxton’s Progress but is later and has slightly taller vines. 
The pods are 314 to 4 inches long and well filled with large deep green 
peas of fine quality. The vines are very strong and bear over a long 
season. This variety is especially valuable as it helps to fill the gap 
between the early varieties and the midseason or late kinds. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 75c; 744 Lbs. $2.25; 15 Lbs. $4.20.

. . and those Lincoln peas were out of this world for both canning and 
table use. We were the envy of the neighbors, whose peas had become only a 
memory, while we were still enjoying huge dishes of Lincoln peas of early 
spring sweetness.”
