NEW EARLY PEA—"Saxonia" A wonderful amount of effort and money has been ex- pended to produce a large-sized "First and Best" Pea. Hith- erto these attempts have only succeeded at the expense of earliness. The New Saxonia, however. Is fully as early and much larger and more prolific than the best strains of First and Best. This gives it a great advantage over any existing sort. Saxonia is thoroughly fixed and free from sporting tenden- cies, 2 feet high, of healthy, vigorous growth, and very hardy. The pods are 3% to 4 inches long, or -fifty per cent larger than the best strains of First and Best. Matures for market quite as early as the latter. Pods appear in pairs. Pkt., 10c; pt., 30c: SOc.
