Queen. — A half-dwarf pea of the green wrinkled sort, foliage vigorous, 

 sturdy, branching freely so that it needs to be planted thinly; pods large, 

 curved, largely borne in pairs, good color; peas good size, round, excellent 

 quality; season medium. A very promising new variety. 



tiapphire. — A vigorous, half-dwarf variety, with rich, green foliage, 

 large leaves and stipules; pods long, curved, rather unevenly filled, not 

 ripening at the same time; season second early; a good producer; for a 

 smooth, blue variety it is excellent in quality; much like Alaska, Blue 

 Beauty, and Bergen Fleetwing. 



Station. — Vines vigorous, 2 to 3 feet in height, light green. Pods short, 

 broad, curved, many of them small; unproductive; peas medium size and 

 quality; season early; seed smooth, white. Judging from this year's trial, 

 not desirable. 



Sterling. — One of the blue wrinkled varieties; vines unthrifty and much 

 affected by the drouth; pods long, slender, recurved, not evenly nor well 

 filled; peas of fair size and good flavor. Not particularly desirable. 



Sunol. — An early strain of the smooth white varieties. It hardly differs 

 from the old First and Best. As grown this year it was a day or two ear- 

 lier, but far less productive.
