PEAS AND PEA-LIKE PLANTS 445 



except for the black hilum. This variety matures a trifle 

 earlier than the Marrowfat and about five days later than 

 the Golden Vine. 



Prussian Blue. One of the " blue "-seeded forms of 

 the field pea, the seeds being round, smooth and bluish 

 green. This also has a white blossom and is rather late, 

 maturing about eleven days after the Golden Vine. It 

 makes good yields of both forage and seed. 



Wisconsin Blue. A " blue "-seeded form similar to the 

 Prussian Blue, but about four days later in maturing. In 

 yield of forage and seed it is about equal to the Prussian 

 Blue, but it has, perhaps, a trifle heavier growth of vine. 



Early Britain. The season of maturity of the Early 

 Britain is about the same as that of the Golden Vine. 

 The blossoms, however, are colored and the seeds large 

 and of a brown color. This variety, although not sc well 

 known as the Golden Vine and the Marrowfat, is valuable 

 from both seed and forage standpoints.
