Gradus, or Prosperity Pea. (See cut.) This fine, extra early, 

 combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, andis also very productive. 

 The smooth varieties of Extra Early Peas have heretofore filled their place 

 in a way, as they could be planted very early ; but there has been the need 

 of an '■^ extra early" which would also have that sweetness and fine flavor 

 of the wrinkled varieties. "Gradus" fills this want. Vines 2^ feet in 

 height, and very prolific, bearing pods fully as large as Telephone, usually 

 containing from 8 to lo large peas, which are of superb flavor. The pods 

 hold iheir attractive and fresh green color for a long time. Qt., 45 cts. ; 4 

 qts,;?I.5o; peck, ^2.80; bu., ^11.20. 



Nott'S Excelsior. An improvement on American Wonder, being as 

 early, if not a little earlier, and the pods are decidedly larger and many more 

 of them to the plant. It grows about half taller than American Wonder ; 

 height 14 inches. Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., ^1.15 ; peck, ^1.75 ; bu., $"] 00. 



American Wonder. A very fine, extra early, wrinkled variety. Quite 

 productive. The flavor and quality of the peas are excellent, and its dwarf 

 habit of growth makes it a desirable sort ; height 10 inches. Qt. , 30 cts.; 

 4 qts., ^1.15; peck, ^1.75 ; bu. , ^7.00. 



Surprise Pea. This excellent variety has been carefully tested beside the 

 very earliest of the smooth peas, and found to be fully as early. The vines 

 grow about two feet high, and do not require any support ; they are literally 

 loaded down with pods, which, while not so large, are well filled with 

 beautiful peas of most delicious quality, tender and sweet, much more so 

 than any of the smooth Extra Earlies. Qt. , 30 cts.; 4 qts., go cts.; peck,

GRADUS, OR PROSPERITY TEA 



General and Late 

 Varieties. 



Dwarf Champion. The Champion of 

 England has long been a standard variety 

 among truckers, the long vines, however, 

 were an objection, as they required brush or 

 support of some kind. This new variety has 

 all the good qualities of the Champion of 

 England, is hardy and of fine quality, but 

 has less vine and produces larger pods and 

 more of them. The pods are dark green and 

 mature after the early varieties, thus making 

 it a good sort to plant for succession. Qt., 

 30 cts.; 4 qts., 90 cts., peck, S1.50 ; bu., 

 $6.00. 



Carter's Daisy or Dwarf Tele- 

 phone. Bears pods as large as Tele 

 phone, but vines are dwarf. It is of stocky 

 habit, healthy, vigorous growth and very 

 productive. In season, medium, from 5 to 

 7 days earlier than Stratagem The pods 

 are long, frequently measuring 5 inches in 

 length, broad, straight, rounded or curved 

 at the end, remarkably well filled, often 

 containing nine or ten peas, color pale green. 

 Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., ^I.oo; peck, $1-75; 

 bu., %-].oo. 



liOng- Island Mammoth. {See cut.) 



A very productive variety, bears dark glossy 

 long pods, well filled ; a very desirable sec- 

 ond early for market gardeners' use. Qt., 

 25 cts.; 4 qts., 80 cts.; peck, ^1.30 ; bu., 

 «'5.20.
