The Gradus Pea. One of the best for all purposes 



Gradus Pea 



AN EXTRA-EARLY WRINKLED PEA OF THE VERY FINEST QUALITY, MATURING SOME 10 TO 12 DAYS 



AFTER PROLIFIC EARLY MARKET 



The handsome, green, pointed pods are 4 to 43^ inches long and nearly inch broad. They are produced on vines of a light green, 

 growing about 3 feet in height. The pods contain from five to eight Peas of the very finest quality, remaining tender and sweet for 

 several days. A large quantity of Gradus stock sold in the East last season was far from being true to type. The fact that we are 

 growing our entire stock of Gradus, together with the great majority of our other stocks, as our own private crops in the far North, 

 positively assures our trade against receiving anything which is not as represented. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. $3, post- 

 paid. 



770 Sutton's Excelsior (Dwarf) 



AN OLD STANDARD MAIN-SEASON PEA 



A dwarf, main-season Pea, maturing about the same time as 

 Little Marvel, and producing pods about 3 inches in length. This 

 variety is in large demand by commercial Pea-growers and to 

 those who understand its habit it has proved very valuable. A 

 great point to be considered is the fact that it must be marketed 

 immediately on attaining its full development, for otherwise the 

 pods will lose their rich green color and their sale will be very 

 much affected. Sutton's Excelsior will mature three or four days 

 later than the old Nott's Excelsior, a variety which we have dis- 

 carded, but we believe it will be more prolific and more satis- 

 factory in every way than the latter variety. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 

 35 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75, postpaid. 



780 Telephone 



A STANDARD, LONG-VINED, LATE VARIETY 



The long, handsome pods of this variety very often attain a 

 length of 5 inches and contain from seven to nine Peas of the 

 j very finest flavor. The vines will grow about 4}^ feet high and 

 we would advise brushing except in cases where large quantities 

 are grown, when other arrangements are usually made. The 

 stock of Telephone which we offer has been selected for dark 

 pods and is particularly recommended as a strain which will be 

 of value to the commercial grower. Telephone of late years has 

 lost favor to a certain extent because of the fact that its pods were 

 too light to find a ready sale on the market. We believe, however, 

 that we have eliminated this trouble to a great extent. Pkt. 

 10 cts., lb. 35 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75, postpaid. 



778 Long Island IMammoth 



THE LATEST VARIETY ON THE ENTIRE LIST, AND VERY OFTEN CALLED TELEGRAPH 



This Pea usually matures four or five days later than the Telephone and is, very apt to come on the market after most of the other 

 varieties have gone. The long, deep-rooted vines of Long Island ALimmoth have better drought-resistant qualities than any other 

 Pea in the entire list, and it is strongly recommended as a late variety for any and all purposes. When grown in a small way brushing 

 is desirable. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 35 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75, postpaid.
