Gradus, or Prosperity Pea. This fine, extra early, 

 combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also 

 very productive. The smooth varieties of Extra Early Peas 

 have 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. Vinei 3 feet in height.

Sutton's Excelsior. This handsome wrinkled Pea is so 

 hardy that it may safely be planted as early as the hard-seeded 

 " Extra Earlies. " The plants grow about 14 inches high, 

 very stout and exceedingly productive. It makes the largest 

 pods of any of the low-growing wrinkled Peas, and matures 

 nearly as early as Nott's Excelsior. Qt., 45 cts.; 4 qts., 

 ^1.50; peck, 52.25; bu., $9.00. 



Little Marvel. For the early crop, this variety is better 

 than American Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, as it matures 

 earlier and the pods contain more peas. It is dwarf, about 

 15 inches high, plants are very productive, bearing many twin 

 {Kids, which are dark green. Qt., 45 cts.; 4 qts., ^1.50; peck, 

 $2.25; bu., $9.00. 



Market Surprise. A new dwarf English Pea, growing
