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 inches long and nearly 3^ inch broad. They are produced on vines of a light 

 green, growing about 3 feet in height. The pods contain from five to eight Peas of the very finest quaHty, 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., y2pt. 15 Cts., pt. 25 Cts., qt. 

 40 cts., Vipk. $1.25, pk. $2, bus. $7. 



Thos. Laxton 



ONE OF THE FINEST SORTS FOR HOME CONSUMPTION 



The primary difference between Thos. Laxton and Gradus, 

 as described above, is in the size and shape of the pod. The 

 Thos. Laxton pod is very perceptibly smaller both in length 

 and breadth than the Gradus pod and is blunt at both ends. 

 In season it usually matures about four days later. The quality 

 is equally good, and the vines, etc., are about the same in 

 appearance. Both sorts are regarded as first-quality Peas and 

 are highly recommended as either home-garden or commercial 

 varieties. Pkt. 5 cts., V2pt. IS Cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., ViV^' 

 $1.25, pk. $2, bus. $7. 



Little Marvel 



AS A LARGE-PODDED, SHORT-VINED VARIETY, LITTLE 

 MARVEL STANDS AT THE HEAD OF ITS CLASS 



In the short time since this Pea has been introduced it has 

 very largely taken the place of Little Gem, American Wonder, 

 Nott's Excelsior, etc. The vines will average about 15 inches in 

 height, being very heavily set with dark green pods, 3 inches in 

 length, square at the bottom and well filled with Peas of the 

 very best quality. The stock of Little M-arvel which we are 

 offering is of our own growth, and we are confident that it will 

 give splendid satisfaction for any purpose. Pkt. 5 cts., V2Pt- 

 15 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 40 cts., Vzpk. $1.25, pk. $2.25, bus. $7.50. 



Sutton's Excelsior 



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 attaining its full development, for otherwise the pods 

 will lose their rich green color and their sale will 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. 5 cts., Vgpt. 15 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., Vapk. $1, pk. $1.75, bus. $6.50.
