 Improved Gradus 

 Pea 



The stock of our improved 

 Gradus Pea has been selected 

 for us by one of the leading Pea specialists 

 in Europe. The merits of this Pea over the 

 existing variety are its extreme earliness, 

 productiveness and continued bearing. 

 Height about 2% feet, and of robust 

 growth. Pods are large and well filled, 

 containing at times as high as ten peas, 

 which are sweet and tender, and remain so 

 for several days after being gathered.

Boddington's 

 Early of Earlies Cabbage 



This is, by test, the earlie.st Cabbage of 

 all; is tender and very sweet in flavor; 

 attractive ; maturing for the table in a 

 remarkably short time. If soA^n in the 

 open ground early in March, it will mature 

 by the first week in August. Leaves are 

 pale green, close and compact, and the 

 heads are, in shape, very conical. Pkt. 50 

 cts., oz. $1. 



Hartford Bronzed-Head 

 Lettuce 



The Hartford Bronzed-Head is different 

 and distinct from any other sort. Tested in 

 an experimental garden with every known 

 variety, it proved to be unlike any other. 

 It forms large, compact heads of a beauti- 

 ful, dark bronze-red color, shading to a 

 dark green toward the root. Cut in halves, 

 the heart is a rich cream-yellow. Its ten- 

 derness and delicacy of texture make it 

 unfit for market purposes, as it will not 

 bear much handling, but its mild, sweet 

 flavor and icy crispness make it a favorite 

 with all lovers of good Lettuce. Pkt. 5 cts 

 Klb. 60 cts., lb. $2.

 for table use. The fruit is straight and free from " bulge " and often 

 measures 12 inches. Pkt. 10 cts. , oz. as cts., K lb. 80 cts. (See illus-
