 was introduced by us in America. It grows about 30 inches 

 high and produces a great quantity of pods, well filled with 

 Peas which are sweet and of good flavor. Matures the oop

 early Peas introduced in recent years and recominend it for

Gradus, or Prosperity. This splendid variety combines 

 the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also rery

 the smooth Peas. Grows vigorous and healthy, vines about 

 3 feet in height, bearing pods fully as large as Telephone, 

 and which are well filled with 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 Peas remain tender and sweet for a long time after having 

 been picked from the vines. 2 lbs., 80 cts.; 10 lbs., $Z-S^'i
