This is a very fine new extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, foliage dark green and rather heavy, hanlm close jointed; the pods average fally one-third larger than the American Wonder, and while per- haps not quite so early, by a few days, are all ready for picking at one time. Each pod contains six to eight large peas, which are of unusually sweet flavor; so closely are the peas packed in the pods that they are flattened against each other, as are the Potato Limas.

I found Nott's Excelsior to be the very best first early extra dwarf Pea I have yet seen, in all practical character- istics ahead of American Wonder and Premium Gem, al- though I consider the latter as ranking next best, and sow them almost exclusively for main crop. Wheeler's Tom Thumb Lettuce is a little gem, both in quality and appearance [see page 25]. The Danish Island Oats have achieved a growth which has astonished my neighbors. They are now headed out full and heavy and 'stand forty- four inches high, and do not show a sign of rust, while oats generally in this neighborhood are badly rusted [see page 51]. I want to sav this
