EVE3RYTSOMG FOJR THE GA1DEM
pvlEW DWARF
LAXTONIAN
EARLY
MARROW PEA
A GRAND, EARLY, DWARF PEA— ENORMOUS PODS— THE LARGEST OF PEAS
Dwarf Peas have always been very popular with the American gardener. This
preference has been maintained in spite of the fact that larger and often better Peas
could be produced by growing the later and taller sorts, which, of course, require
artificial support for their best cultivation. This lack of quality has been quite over-
come by Laxtonian, as it produces a pod which compares favorably with the best
of the later and taller sorts. The vine is only eighteen inches high, which makes it pos-
sible for any one to raise the largest Peas very early in the season on a small area, and
with very little effort.
The pods are not only large, but are always well filled with Peas of great size and
remarkably good quality. The crop is ready for use about a week later than the
earliest sorts. By sowing this variety at intervals of 10 days up to the end of May,
a very satisfactory supply of Peas may be raised for continuous use. (See cut.) Price,
15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts.
Nott's Excelsior Pea
EARLY, BIG CROPPER,
EXTRA FINE QUALITY
A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous constitution; enormously
productive, and generally excellent. The pods are of good size, produced liberally, and
are extremely well filled with excellent Peas of perfect quality. The plant is among the
smallest, very rarely exceeding fifteen inches in height, and is easily grown. It still is,
and long will be, extremely popular. Many people who have only small gardens use this
sort exclusively, making repeated sowings for successive crops. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt.,
35c. qt, $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.
Henderson's First of All Pea b ™st ?e U a ™ w™ E
The extreme earliness of First of All emphatically distinguishes it from all others. For
forty years it has produced the earliest crop of this delicious vegetable, and is still doing so.
While it lacks the "marrow" flavor of the larger and later sorts, it has a sweetness peculiar
to its class, and a flavor which is preferred by many. Anyway, First of All may be
eaten, and the crop removed while other sorts are maturing, for it has been so closely bred
to produce its crop on time, that quite often the entire crop may be removed at one
picking. The slim, three foot vines permit close planting; its hardiness enables it to be
planted as soon as frost leaves the ground. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt.,
$1.20 for 4 qts., $2.25 peck.
BEARS AN ENORMOUS CKOP OF PODS
FULL OF DELICIOUS PEAS
A very distinct dwarf variety, producing an enormous number of small, but well-filled
pods. The plant is fifteen inches high, and produces its crop very early in the season.
The pods are slim, but long, slightly curved, and literally filled with Peas, surprisingly
large for so slim a pod. It is of excellent quality, and justly a favorite with all who grow
it. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck.

Thomas Laxton Pea
An extra early wrinkled "marrow" of excellent
quality, and a valuable addition to the very early
varieties. It is three feet high, and somewhat
more vigorous in habit than Prosperity. The
pods are medium to large, blunt ended and filled
to the tip with large Peas of true, rich, "mar-
-~3* row" flavor. Its strong vine and heavy crop-
g character make it very suitable for an
arly crop in the private garden. It may
be used to great advantage as an im-
mediate successor to Prosperity. If
sown together, Thomas Laxton
will be in full production
just as the crop of Pros-
perity is diminishing.
Price, 15c. pkt., 30c.
s pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 for
4 qts., $3.50 peck.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
