 Wrinkled Pea 



A new early and liardr/ irrinHed variety of the 

 highest type of perfection ; grows 2^ feet in 

 height, is a vigorous grower ; of light green color ; 

 pods and grain of very large size, closely resem- 

 bling Telephone. The result of our exjjerinients 

 with this Pea at Floracroft Trial Grounds duiing 

 the seasons of 1897 and 1898 was an utter surprii-e 

 in finding a green wrinkled variety with a pod so 

 large as the Gradus jn-oduces, to mature only three 

 days after Johnson & Stokes' Extra Early", hence 

 we claim it to be the earliest wrinkled pea known. 

 Our photograph alongside, made at Floracroft, 

 shows the large pod of Gradus in contrast with 

 our Johnson & Stokes' Extra Early, both pods be- 

 ing 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 high- 

 est award and first-class certificate at the Eoyal 

 Horticultural Society, England. 



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 

 to give it a trial. Per pkt., 10c. ; pt., 35c.; iit., 70c.,

The held of BIG TOM ptjmpkiks from which our seed was saved. 



This grand new pump- 

 kin, the seed of which we 

 now otfer for the first 

 time, is the result of 

 many years'selection from 

 the old Golden Marrow 

 or Michigan Mammoth 

 pumpkin. So carefully 

 has the selection been 

 made that the Big Toms 

 will run uniformly to 

 more than twice the size 

 and weight. Their fine 

 sliajie and size are well 

 sliown in the photograph 

 of field which produced 

 over twenty tons to the 

 acre. The skin and flesh 

 are of a deep, rich orange 

 color, of excellent flavor 

 for pies, etc., cooking soft 

 and tender. For table 

 use and stock feeding no 

 more profitable or better 

 varietv can be grown.
