*GEADUS or PROSPERITY. The earliest of all 

 wrinkled peas and the earliest larije-podded pea in cultivation.

 small, round, extra early sorts. If produces uniformly larire, 

 long pods, measuring from four to four ai;d a half inches long, 

 handsome and well filled, each containing eight to ten large 

 peas of delicious flavor. The pods are fully as large and fine as 

 those of the large, later sorts, and the peas remain sweet and 

 tender for a long time. The vines are strong growers, three 

 feet in height, and bear profusely. Those who appreciate the 

 fine quality of the wrinkled class will hail with delight the
