s2 Sutton’s Excelsior 
The Sutton’s Excelsior Pea re- 
sembles Nott’s Excelsior, but has 
longer and broader pods of a light 
green color; the pods are square at 
the ends with 6 or 8 large sized peas 
toa pod. The vines grow 15 inches 
long and are hardy, permitting 
early planting. They are very 
heavy bearers, and on account of 
its hardiness and large sized pods, 
many prefer Sutton’s Excelsior to 
the large podded taller varieties.

than Nott’s Excelsior. It is un- 
doubtedly a fine, extra early dwarf 
wrinkled pea for either home or 
market gardeners.

SUTTON’S EXCELSIOR PEA. 
Gradus Pea 
This is the largest podded of all the early dwarf varieties and 
is a new sort of decided merit. The vines are vigorous, grow- 
ing about 16 inches high, and produces a large crop of good 
sized pods, averaging from 9 to 10 peas to the pod. The peas 
are of exquisite flavor and mature early. Many people who 
have tried Laxtonian consider it superior to either Gradus or 
Thomas Laxton and claim it to be the best of all the early 
dwarf sorts. It is certainly worth a trial.
