GARDEN PEAS 



Wrinkled Early Sorts — Continued 



G46 Gradus, or Prosperity. Combines the finest quality with 

 extreme earliness, besides being fairly productive. Grows 

 vigorous and healthy; vines about three feet in height, bearing 

 pods averaging 4 inches long, well filled with 6 to 8 beautiful 

 light green Peas, which color they retain after being cooked. 

 The quality and flavor are delicious and a valuable feature 

 with the "Gradus" is, that the E^as remain tender and sweet 

 for a long time after having/been picked from the vines. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.;, i lb., 25 cts.Aft., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., 

 SI. 65, prepaid. 



650 Laxton'3 Progress. The most recent introduction of real 

 merit into the list of large pod dwarf peas, and an ideal sort 

 for the small home garden where space is at a premium. 

 "Progress" grows but 18 inches high, but the vines are ex- 

 ceedingly vigorous and produce the largest pods of any extra 

 early sort. Pods average 4J inches long and are well filled 

 with 8, 9 or 10 deep green, large peas, of delightful flavor. 

 Ready for gathering within 60 days from the time seeds are 

 sown, being a few days earlier than either Hundredfold or 

 Laxtonian, the previous leaders in this class. We have taken 

 these two out of our list on account of the superiority of 

 "Progress." It is fairly hardy and may be planted almost as 

 early as the hardier smooth-seeded varieties. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 ^ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 85 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.95, prepaid.
