GRHDUS OR 



PROSPERITY PEH 



A nevf first early and hardy wrinkled variety of 

 the highest type of perfection ; grows 2^ feet in 

 lieight ; is a vigorous grower ; of light green color ; 

 pods and grain of very large size, closely resembling 

 Telephone. The result of our experiments with 

 this Pea at Floracroft Trial Grounds from seed 

 sent us by the originator was an utter surprise in 

 finding a green wrinkled variety with a pod so 

 large as the Qradus produces, to mature only three 

 days after Johnson & Stokes' Extra Early; hence 

 it may be justly claimed to be the earliest wrin- 

 kled pea known. Our photograph below, made at 

 Floracroft, shows the large pod of Gradus in con- 

 trast with our Johnson & Stokes' Extra Early, both 

 pods being natural size. The large pods produce 

 from 6 to 8 peas of enormous size, which, when 

 cooked, retain their beautiful soft green, and are 

 sweet, rich and mellow. The Gradus has taken 

 the highest award and first-class certificate at the 

 Royal Horticultural Society, England. i^ 



In the New Gradus Pea the great problem of 

 combining fine quality and productiveness with 

 earliness in pea culture seems to have been solved, 

 and it behooves every progressive gardener who 

 has not done so, and who wants to be strictly up-to- 

 date, to give it a trial. Per pkt., 10c. ; pt., 30c.;

After testing this new English pea on our trial 

 grounds for two seasons, we are absolutely certain 

 of its decided merit in introducing it, and believe 

 we have the honor of being the first American 

 seedsmen to bring it to this side of the Atlantic. 

 The vine is very hardy, growing vigorously to a 

 height of about two feet, unusually prolific. 

 Handsome pods, growing uniformly to larger size 

 than any medium early or late pea we have ever 

 seen. Peas sweet and delicious. 



If you want to keep abreast with the times in 



fardening, you must plant the Market Master.
