The Gradus Pea. One of the best for all purposes 



760 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 4^4 inches long and nearly J^2 inch broad. They are produced on vines of a light green, grow- 

 ing 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. 5 cts., Vipt- 15 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 45 cts., postpaid; not prepaid, V2pk. 80 cts., 

 pk. $1.50, bus. $6. 



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 i 

 attaining its full development, for otherwise the pods will lose their | 

 rich green color and their sale wil! 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 discarded, but we believe it will 

 be more prolific and more satisfactory in every way than the latter 

 variety. Pkt. 10 cts., V2Pt- 15 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., post- ' 

 paid; not prepaid, V^pk. 85 cts., pk. $1.60, bus. $6. 1 



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 very finest 

 flavor. The vines will grow about 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 recom- 

 mended 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., y?pt. 15 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., post- 

 paid; not prepaid, Vipk. 85 cts., pk. $1.60, bus. $6. 



778 Long Island Mammoth 



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 Mammoth 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., Vzpt. 15 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., postpaid; not prepaid, V^pk. 85 cts., pk. $1.60, bus. $6.
