CULTURE— Peas of extra early smooth class arc the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled sorts follow 
a little laier as they are not quite so hlrdy. Tall late varieties need brush or other support. By selecting sorts that do not grow much over 
nvo feet high the Necessity of providing brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of vanct.es and planting frequently for succession will 
rive a full supply of thV choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible exception of the hottest part of the summer.

inches in height — pods are dark

EARLY GRADUS 
(Also called Prosperity) — (See cut). 
This splendid variety combines the 
finest quality with extreme earli- 
ness, and is also very productive. 
Grows vigorous and healthy; vines 
about 3 feet in height, bearing pods 
fully as large as Telephone, and 
which are well filled with beautiful 
light green Peas, which color they 
retain after being, cooked. The

and sweet for a long time after 
having been picked from the vines.

are a deeper, richer green and square 
at the end. Four days later than 
Gradus. Height 3 ft. Lb. 40c.; H
