PERPETUAL 
PEA. 

































Prosperity or Gradus 
An Extra Early Wrinkled Pea. 
This remarkable pea has produced a sensation in 
the horticultural world, and there is no longer any 
doubt about its position and standing. It is now 
recognized asaleader. It is not only large and of 
best quality, but it is as early as the small, ronnd, 
extra early sorts. It may be planted as soon as 
the ground is fit to work in spring, along with the 
smooth peas. It promises to take the place of 
the smooth peas in general culture to a great 
extent. Prosperity or Gradus is a wrinkled pea, 
with vine growing 18 to 380 inches high. It re- 
quires no sticks or brush, though sticks may be 
used, if preferred. The peas are freely borne, and 
remain in good order for a number of days. The 
pods are of a bright green color, and measure 4 
inches or more in length, being as large as Tele- 
phone, and equally well filled with luscious peas— 
8 to 10 or more in a pod. The peas themselves are 
of first-class table quality, and retain their color 
and attractive appearance after cooking. The pods 
are round and plump. On light, sandy soils it 
attains a growth of only 15 or 18 inches, while on 
rich heavy loams it reaches 80 inches. It is entirely 
adapted to the purposes of the market gardener, 
requiring only good field treatment. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts.; by mail, 
postpaid. By express or freight, peck, $2.75. 
PENCIL POD 
BLACK WAX BEAN. 
This new bush bean is most enthusiastically 
praised by all who have grown it. Its beautiful 
yellow, straight pods are from 5 to 7 inches long, 
well rounded, meaty and deeply saddle-backed. 
They are always solid, brittle and entirely string- 
less. The plants grow about 15 inches high with an 
abundance of large, heavy foliage, under which 
will be found an enormous crop of magnificent, 
Straight golden-yellow pods. I list it with every 
confidence it will please my customers.

A True Pick Forever. 
Bears from June until October. 
For many years Perpetual pea has had a smal? 
notice in my annual catalogue, and but few or 
my customers knew how really good it was. 
Nineteen years ago I offered Perpetual as a noy- 
elty, and have continued to supply it to a number 
of my customers regularly every year since. It is: 
entirely too good to be relegated back to a small 
place in this book, consequently I have taken it 
out of the general list and given it this prominent. 
notice, simply because Perpetual pea deserves it. 
Probably there are no two concerns in the country 
who know more about peas, or who grow more 
peas for seed purposes than Messrs. Keeney & 
Sons of Genesee Co., N. Y., or Rogers Bros., of 
Jefferson Co., N. Y. Messrs. Keeney & Sons write :: 
“Tt is more accurately named than any other 
pea in the list, and for the private garden is an 
excellent variety, as it will continue producing 
for a long time, if the peas are promptly and 
completely picked as fast as they become large 
enough to use on the table.”’ 
This was supplemented by a letter from Rogers. 
Bros., who made the following statement: 
“We consider it the best or nearest to a per- 
petual pea of anything we have ever seen yet.” 
Now here are the statements of two authorities 
who know peas from A to Z; neither one had any 
idea of the other’s opinion in regard to Perpetual; 
and if two such authorities agree, there must be 
merit back of it, and there is. Perpetual pea is 
everything its name implies. It grows about 2% 
to 8 feet high; is of strong, robust habit, a good 
cropper, and, to secure best results, requires sticks 
or brush. After removing the pods as fast as they 
are filled it will continue to bear right along 
throughout the season. This one feature makes 
it especially desirable for the home or family 
garden. It is certainly the most remarkable 
everbearing pea that has ever come to my 
knowledge. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; 
quart, 50 cents, postpaid.
