Blue Beauty, from Thorburn. is quite productive. The vines are about 

 two feet high; pods three inches long by one-half inch wide and contain 

 six plump, sweet, tender peas. 



Bloomsdale, from Landreth and Sons, is quite tall and runs to vines. 

 The pods are numerous and well-filled. Matures about the same season 

 as Stratagem. 



Dwarf Jumbo, from Salzer, was very slow to germinate. The vines 

 are about eighteen inches high; pods few but large and filled with peas 

 of the highest quality. 



Dwarf Telephone, Rough Rider, Scorcher, Tom Thumb and Wife's Pin 

 Money were all received from John A. Salzer. Dwarf Telephone made 

 about one-half the growth of Champion of England but matured nearly 

 at the same time. The peas are of superior quality. Rough Rider was 

 of the Market Garden type, but lacked in productiveness. 



Tom Thumb has a small low-growing habit. The vines are spindling; 

 pods scattering and the peas are of only medium quality. Wife's Pin 

 Money resembled Champion of England in growth and quality. The pods 

 are numerous and the peas superior in quality. Scorcher is a quick- 

 growing variety of great productiveness, but only medium in quality. 



Giant Podded Sugar Pea, from Elliott and Sons, and Giant Podded, 

 from Livingston, were nearly identical. They are both good varieties. 



Giant's Favorite, from the Great Northern Seed Co., has been grown 

 here several times. It seemed to be true to type, productive and of good 

 quality. Matured at the same time as Champion of England. 



Philadelphia Extra Early, from Thorburn, was one of the first to 

 reach edible maturity. The vines are productive and the peas are of 

 medium quality for so early a variety. 



Perpetual and Prodigious, from Maule, are two tall-growing varieties 

 of superior quality. Perpetual lacks in productiveness and has a long 

 edible maturity, but Prodigious is very productive and the quality of 

 the peas unexcelled. Medium to late in season. 



Reliance, from Henderson, is a tall, rank grower, quite prolific. Pods 

 well filled with choice peas. It is a medium to late variety. 



Surprise, from Henderson, as previously stated is a productive, valu- 

 able variety for market garden purposes. It matures early and evenly. 



Teddy Roosevelt, from Northrup, King and Co., is a very desirable, 

 large-growing variety. The vines are vigorous and productive and the 

 peas are of the choicest flavor. They are about the same in season as 

 Champion of England.
