PEA GRADUS. 



Many of our cus- 

 tomers have expressed 

 their delight with the 

 results produced with 

 this wonderful pea the 

 past season, sm-passing 

 in quality all other 

 varieties, while its rapid 

 growth and develop- 

 ment was simply mar- 

 velous. 



Gradus produces 

 healthy, vigorous ■vines, 

 2)4 feet high, with large 

 dark green foliage and 

 very prolific, bearing 

 large well developed 

 pods, usually containing 

 from 8 to 10 large peas. 

 The color of the shelled 

 peas is a beautiful light 

 green, which color is re- 

 tained after cooking. 

 With the amateur and 

 market gardener alike 

 the Gradus is destined 

 to become a general 

 favorite. Price, pint, 

 30c. ; quart, 50c. (If by 

 mail, add 8c. per pint; 

 ].5e. per quart.) 



The Earliest Pea Grown— Pods the Size of 

 Telephone. 



This new extra early dwarf-growing Pea is a decided ad- 

 vancement, combining earliness with the finest quality, and is 

 also very productive. There has long been the want of an extra 



early pea, which com- 

 bined quality, to take 

 the place filled in theii- 

 way by the smooth extra 

 early vai-ieties. In the 

 Gradus we have a 

 wi-inkled variety, unlike 

 others of its class, ex- 

 tremely hardy, allowing 

 of planting early with 

 the smooth sorts and 

 maturing with the 

 earliest, but in size and 

 quaUjty i-esembling such 

 varieties as* Telephone,
