StrasbourCT, bein New Pea 'Grate' An iciriy w) iiikUd variety of the highest type of perfection ; grows 2j feet in height, is a vigorous grower; of light green color; pods and grain of very large size. The result of our experiments during the season of 1897 was an utter surprise to us, in finding a green wrinkled variety with a pod such as the 'Gradus' pro- duces to mature only three days after Dreer's Eureka Extra Early, hence we claim it to be the earliest wrinkled Pea known. The large pods produce from 7 to 9 large shouldered Peas each, which when cooked retain their beautiful soft green, and are rich and mellow. The Gradus has taken the highest award and first- class certificate at the Royal Horticul- tural Society, England. It is suffi- ciently hardy to be planted with the Extra Early types. Don't fail to give the Gradus a trial. Pkt. 15 ct?., pt. 40 CIS , qt. 75 cts. RaflM 'Dreer's Earliest White Me Forciu£,' Dreer's Earliest White Globe Forcing.

After two years' thorough trial, we are convinced of the superior quality of this sort, being one of the most attractive varieties ol an early forcing type. It is particularly adapted to forcing in greenhouse or hotbed, thus giving a supply through the winter and early spring months ; is the quickest ma- turi
