, dark greenand bearing at the top, generally in pairs, a fair cropof very large, dark green pods well filled with large peas ofgood flavor. We have given this variety special attention,and the stock we offer is so much superior to that commonlysold as to seem a different sort. We recommend it as one ofthe very best of the large podded varieties. See page k7.Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c: Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $5.00 Very pi-oductive and universally admitted to be one of therichest and best flavored peas. Height four to five feet; se^dlight green and much shriveled. Very inferior and mixedstocks of this sort are frequently offered, but when thp seed isas well grown and.selected as that we offer, we consider thevarietv equal in quality to any in cultivation, and one of thebest of its seaison, either for the amateur or market gardener.Seepag^U?.
