Vermont. Eighteen inches high, being slightly taller than Premium 

 Gem, and, while equally early, it is decidedly a better cropper than 

 either that or Tom Thumb. Pod large, heavy, and well filled. Also 

 equal to the wrinkled varieties in sweetness and flavor. It can be 

 planted earlier than these without danger of rotting. 



Pea, Electric. Tillingliast, 



— Favorite. Gregory. 



A green wrinkled variety of branching habit. Grows two feet high, 

 branching at the ground. Medium early. This is of the Abundance 

 type, but the pods fill out better than that variety, and it is a better 

 pea than either that or the Everbearing. 



— Heroine. Gregory. 



Ripens with the Champion, but the pods are longer and wider. A 

 fine cropper. Three feet high. From Messrs. Sharpe, England. 



— Iowa's Challenge. Iowa Seed Co. 



An extra early variety. Vines eighteen inches. 



— Marblehead Early Marrowfat. Gregory. 



Pods large, often containing eight peas. Vines immensely strong ; 

 remains in bearing a long time. Comes in after the earliest. 



— Nonpareil. Tate &-' Son. 



— Pride of the Garden- (Sugar). Afi7/s, Thorn Hill, N. Y. 



From four and one-half to five feet high, of very stout growth ; 

 the foliage is a healthy green and the vines are crowded with pods. 

 Medium early. 



— Queen. Gregory. 



This pea has two very valuable characteristics, viz. : the extreme- 

 ly large size of the peas (much larger than Champion), and the re- 

 markably dark, rich green color of the pods. Height two feet. 

 Rather later than Champion. From Messrs. Sharpe, England. 



— Shropshire Hero. Gregory ; Henderso?i. 



About as early as Advancer, and as good a bearer, while both the 

 pods and peas are much larger. Vines three feet high. From Eng- 

 land. 



— White Prolific Marrow. Gregory. 



This is not of the Marrowfat class, but a wrinkled pea as early 

 as the Champion ; vines two feet in height, bearing long, straight 

 pods. From Messrs. Sharpe, England. 



Pea, Sweet,' Countess of Radnor. Breck. 



Pale mauve standards, with a deeper shading of mauve ; wings 

 pale lilac. 



— — Primrose. Breck. 



A near approach to a yellow sweet pea ; quite distinct in color, the 

 standards and wings pale primrose yellow ; awarded first-class certif- 

 icate by the Royal Horticultural Society. Eckford.
