Dreer's Selected Garden Peas — Ger. Erbsen, 



BARLY VARIETIES 



Gradus, or Prosperity Pea. {See cut.) This fine, 

 extra early, combines the finest quality with extreme earliness, 

 and is 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 eaiiy" which would also have that sweetness and 

 fine flavor of the wrinkled varieties. "Gradus" fills this 

 want. Vines 3 feet in height, and very prolific, bearing pods 

 fully as large as Telephone, usually containing from 8 to 10 

 large peas. Qt., 45 cts.. 4 qts., ,^1.50; peck, $3.00; bu.,

 by mail, add 8 cents per 

 pint, or 15 cents per qt. 

 for postage. 



Dreer's Extra Early?: Electric. (See cut.) A 

 variety of the green-seeded Alaska type, but a great improve- 

 ment, being much earlier than the Alaska and bearing larger 

 pods. The vines grow from 2}^ to 3 feet high, and are 

 literally loaded down with pods, which are crowded with the 

 large peas, closely shouldered in pod. It is very uniform in 

 growth, and usually produces pods containing seven or eight 

 peas. The quality is excellent, [remaining tender until fully 

 matured. Ql., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 80 cts.; peck, $1.40; bu., 

 $5.60.

 the earliest and most prolific extra early varieties, which has 

 given the best results wherever grown, and is a standard for 

 earliness and fine quality. It is an extremely even cropper, 

 and can be gathered clean in two pickings. For a late fall 

 crop it has few equals ; height 20 inches. Qt. ,25cts. ; 4qts. , 

 80 cts.; peck, $1.30; bu., $5.20.

 cts.; 4 qts., 70 cts.; peck, $1.25 ; bu., §5.00 



Alaska. An extra early round pea. Of good flavor, and

Surprise Pea. [See cut.) This excellent variety has been 

 carefully tested beside the very earliest of the smooth peas, and 

 found to be earlier. 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. ,
