 Extra-Early Gradus Pea.''

 riety are its extreme earliness, produc- 

 tiveness and continued bearing. Height 

 about 3 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. Pt.

Boddington*s Early Bird. 



A round-seeded Pea of the Gradus type, 

 embodying the hardiness of a round va- 

 riety, with the flavor and size of pod of 

 Gradus. A grand Pea, the greatest ad- 

 vance in round varieties since the advent 

 of Telegraph. Growers cannot fail to 

 quickly see the advantages of this Pea for 

 their early work. This variety is a first- 

 early cropper, producing deep green pods 

 of the well-known Gradus type, but, on 

 account of its hardy constitution, may be 

 sown early to great advantage in order 

 to obtain very early results in the spring. 

 It is a vigorous, branching plant, growing 

 3 feet in height, and bears throughout the length of the haulm a 

 large proportion of pods in pairs, which contain fine, deep green 

 peas of exquisite marrowfat flavor. A prominent gardener writes : 

 I want to say a word in favor of your Early Bird. I saw it at a 

 neighbor's and it is a grand, early pea." Pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts., ^^pk.

growth, and produces an abundance of 

 very large pods, filled with deliciously 

 sweet Peas. It is fully as early as Gradus.

 them per plant, and has a decided ad- 

 vantage in being more hardy ; being a 

 round-seeded variety, it may be sown 

 earlier. Height, 3 feet. Pkt. 20 cts., pt.

 V ciw.ny. ^.a]„aij|e introduction, 

 combining all the merits of the best strains 

 of Earliest-of-All with extreme earliness. 

 Sown on the same day and under similar 

 conditions, it is fit to pick from ten to 

 fourteen days earlier, and produces an 

 equally good crop. It is a dwarfer form 

 of Earliest-of-.All, about 2 feet high. Pt.

 favorable re- 

 ports received from customer's prove 

 conclusively that World's Record is all 

 that its claimed. It is no exaggeration to 

 say that, in size of pods. World's Record 

 stands absolutely alone among the early 

 varieties. Habit very prolific ; pods dark 

 green ; peas of superb flavor. Height 

 about 3 feet. Pkt. 25 cts., pt. 60 cts., qt. $1.

The Lincoln. 



Improved William L 



This grand second-early variety of Pea origi- 



nated in England, and is worthy of the notice 



of all who appreciate good quality. It is a dwarf variety, about iK 

 feet, producing the long, curved, deep green pods in pairs, literally 

 covering the plant. This variety is quite distinct from the Stratagem 

 type of Peas, and much more desirable than varieties of that class.
