Of vigorous growth, the haulm attaining three feet in height, and of a very branching character—four to eight laterals starting from the root. The haulm is very stout, the main stem usually branching at the first three to five nodes above the ground. The pods are produced generally in pairs, from fifty to ninety pods to the plant. The natural- sized pods are represented by the engraving herewith; they are well packed with large, luscious peas, of very sweet and of splendid quality. The peas are of very large size, often one-half inch in diameter when green, and are packed closely to- gether in the pods, five to nine in a pod. The plants are con- tinuous bearers, extending over a period of several weeks. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready for the table July 9th. Its immense productiveness, stout, healthy growth, and fine quantity must make it a leading variety for main crop. Price per package 15 cts.; per pint 30 cts.; per quart 50 cts., postpaid.
