New Peas and Beans New Pea, Gradus THE EARLIEST LARCE-PODDED PEA EVER IN- TRODUCED. HEIGHT, 3 FT. PLANT THICKLY From trials made at our Melrose Trial Grounds we can truthfully 8ay that the Gradus ranks with auy early variety. By actual test the Alaskas and Holmes' Market- Gardener's Extra-Early, known as the earliest Feas, along- side the Gradus came in only three days ahead. In the Pea (iradus, of which we gi%*e an illustration {% actual size), we have one of those long strides of progress not often found in the ordinary advancement of vegetables. The variety is an imported one, having been raised by Thos. Laxton in Eng- land. The vine has very heavy stems, and produces uni- formly large pods, measuring 4 to 4% inches long, nearly rouiul and well tilled with eight to ten large, handsome peas. In rejjard to other attributes, Gradus has merit as a home Pea, because a picking of sufficient size may easily be made, the shelled peas bulk up well, and the process of shelling is very easily performed. In flavor and quality Gradus Is of the highest "marrow" type, melting and sugary, re- taining when served its bright, vivid green. A gentleman from another seedhouse stopped with the writer over night, and at the dinner table remarked as he ate the Gradus Pea, that he never tasted anything to compare with them, and had no idea they were so fine.
