The haulm is very stout, the main stem usually branching at the first three to five nodes above the ground. The pods are generally produced 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 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 continuous bearers, extending over a period of several weeks. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready for the table July 9th.
