EXTRA EARLY SORTSo Gradus. A new English variety of the wrinkled peas. It is very hardy, so much so, that, unlike most of its type, it can be planted extremely early. The vine grows about 2J/2 feet high, is vigorous and very productive. The pods are large and well filled with good sized peas, 7 to 9 usually in a pod. The Gradus is the earliest wrinkled pea in culti- vation and one of the most delicious in quality, which, combined with its hardiness and produc- tiveness, cannot fail to commend it to all lovers of fine peas. Those who grew it last year give it the highest praise. Pkt. 15c, pt. 40c, qt. 70c, pk. $ Premium Gem. Grows about fifteen inches high, and is among the earliest dwarf, green, wrinkled sorts. The quality is unsurpassed; the most remarkable characteristic is its wonderful prolificness. Pkt. 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c, pk. $, bu. $ First and Best. Pods good size and well filled with round, smooth peas of excellent flavor. Extreme- ly early, productive, and ripen all at the same time, therefore a general favorite with market gardeners. Height 2l/2 feet. Pkt. 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 36c, pk. $, bu. $ Gregory's Surprise. This new, extra early wrinkled pea is 'a cross between Laxton's Earliest of All and American Wonder. It is as early as the earli- est of the hard peas, and as heavy a cropper, while at the same time it possesses that peculiar sweet- ness which belongs to the wrinkled varieties. The Surprise grows about 20 inches 'high on rich gar- den soil, and ripens very easily. Like most of the very early peas it succeeds best when sown quite thickly. Pkt. 10c, pt. 35c, qt. 60c Fxtra Early Tom Thumb. An early variety, nine inches in height; productive and of excellent qual- ity. Pkt. 10c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c, pk. $, bu. $ McLean's Litt
