Ever-Bearinff l ea v as raised by that celebrated and lamented horticulturist—the late Mr. Charles Arnold, of Canada —by crossing Little Gem with Champion of England. Season, late to very late. Height of vines eighteen inches to two feet; foliage very large, firm, and bright green ; pods three to four inches long on the average, each pod producing six to eight wrinkled peas; size of peas very large, half an inch and over in diameter; quality unsurpassed in sweetness as well as flavor. Its habit of growth is of a peculiar branching character, forming as many as ten stalks from a single root stalk. One hundred pods have been counted on a single vine. After repeated pickings of quantities of full-sized pods, the vines continue to be covered with blos- soms and buds developing to maturity in turn, and making it practically as perpetual a bearer as can be found in the pea tribe.

The haulm is nearly two feet in height and very strong, and grand pods are produced from the very ground to the tips; so low down, indeed, are they, and so fine, that their points rest on the soil. The pods are as large as those of Telegraph, grown in the same field, and are equally full, which is saying a great deal, and the Peas are also of the first size, sweet and juicy. It is the finest of all dwarf ; PRIDE OF THE MARKET. For description and illustration, see standard l
