DANIELS’ SELECTED GRADUS. 
This large-podded early wrinkled variety, is without doubt the finest and most distinct early Pea yet introduced. The haulm 
which grows to the height of three to four feet is well covered with large dark green pods, averaging five inches in length, and 
well filled with eight to ten fine Peas of the most exquisite flavour ; indeed, amongst the early varieties it has no rival in this 
respect. It is an excellent cropper, this combined with its earliness and grand flavour, has made it a favourite with all growers.
