“POTLATCH” THE IDEAL MAIN CROP PEA 
EXTRA EARLY GRADUS OR 
PROSPERITY 
This is the most famous of all the wrinkled 
varieties, and cannot be recommended too 
highly. New varieties of Peas are annually 
being introduced, but generally fade from 
sight in a year or two, but the Gradus is an 
exception. It has come to stay, and will 
always be popular and famous for its fine 
qualities. Early sowings of wrinkled Peas 
are liable to be destroyed by cold weather. 
It is not so with the Gradus, as it is very 
hardy; it is a vigorous grower, 2/i to 3 feet 
in height, very prolific and producing pods 
nearly as large as the famous Telephone, 4 to 
4 I /2 inches long, and filled with eight to ten 
large peas, which are of delicious flavor. Pkt., 
10c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., £2.20. 
THOMAS LAXTON 
Closely resembles the Gradus, but is 
hardier and slightly earlier. Pods are 4 inches 
long, of a dark green color and square at the 
end. The vines are vigorous, of medium 
height, about 3 feet, similar to those of 
Gradus but darker in color, hardier and more 
productive. The green peas are very large 
and unsurpassed in quality. Pkt., 10c; lb., 
30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., £2.10. 
LAXTONIAN—“THE DWARF GRADUS” 
This new English introduction is the larg- 
est podded of all the early dwarf peas. The 
dark green pods are similar to the Gradus in 
shape and nearly as large in size; they mature 
earlier and require no support of any kind. 
The vines are vigorous and very productive, 
growth about 18 inches, pods are well filled 
with peas of the finest flavor. “The Lax- 
tonian” cannot be recommended too highly.
