Paul Rose, or Petoskey DREER'S "ELECTRIC" EXTRA EARLY PEA. This is a new variety of the green-seeded Alaska type, but a great improvement, being much earlier than the Alaska and bearing larger pods. The vines grow from 2£ to 3 feet high and are literally loaded down with pods, which are crowded with the large peas, closely shouldered in pod. It is very uniform in growth, and usually produces pods containing eight peas. The quality is excellent, remaining tender until fully matured. As an "Extra Early" for the market gardener we can recommend this variety very highly ; it has all the requisites of a first-class Pea, and the beautiful dark green color of the pods adds greatly to their selling quality. As a varirty for the home garden it must also prove very valuable. Being hardy, the seed can be planted as early in Spring as the ground can be worked.
