Wrinkled Pea 
A new early and hardy wrinkled variety of the 
highest type of perfection ; grows 2i feet in 
height, is a vigorous grower; of lightgreencolor; 
>o«Jh and grain of very large size, closely rescin¬ 
ding Telephone. The result of our experiments 
with this Pea at Floracroft Trial Grounds during 
the seasons of 1897 and 1898 was an utter surprise 
in finding a green wrinkled variety with a pod so 
large as the Ciradus produces, to mature only three 
days after Johnson & Stokes’ Extra Early, hence 
we claim it to he the earliest wrinkled pea known. 
Our photograph alongside, made at Floracroft, 
shows the large pod of Gradus in contrast with 
our Johnson & Stokes’ Extra Early, both pods be¬ 
ing natural size. The large pods produce from 0 
to 8 peas of enormous size, which, when cooked, 
retain their beautiful soft green, and are sweet, 
rich and mellow. The Gradus has taken the high¬ 
est award and first-class certificate at the Koval 
Horticultural Society, England. 
In the New Gradus Pea the great problem of 
combining line cpiality and productiveness with 
earliness in Pea culture seems to have been 
Holved, and it behooves every progressive gardener 
to give it a trial. Per pkt., 10c.; pt., 35c.; (|t., 70c.,

pt Diew Pielcl Pumpkin—Phe Pig Pom 
This grand new pump¬ 
kin, the seed of which we 
now offer for the first 
time, is the result of 
many years’selection from 
the old Golden Marrow 
or Michigan Mammoth 
pumpkin. So carefully 
has the selection been 
made that the Big Toms 
will run uniformly to 
more than twice the size 
and weight. Their fine 
shape and size are well 
shown in the photograph 
of field which produced 
over twenty tons to the 
acre. The skin and flesh 
are of a deep, rich orange 
color, of excellent flavor 
for pies, etc., cooking soft 
and tender. For table 
use and stock feeding no 
more profitable or better 
variety can be grown.
