PEAS WRINKLED, MIDSEASON, AND LATE 

 KINDS 



IN COMMON with the earlier kinds, the midseason and 

 late varieties claim both sorts of dwarf and tall type. 



The leading tall midseason pea is Telephone. Of the 

 many strains available (Boston Unrivalled, Duke of Al- 

 bany, and Alderman are all strains of it), Alderman is 

 the most dependable. It grows about five feet tall, 

 pods average four and a half inches long, containing eight 

 large, dark green peas. The average yield for every 

 fifteen-foot row is eight quarts, the first of which are 

 generally ready eighty days after the seeds are sown. 



Quite Content is the largest podded sort growing on a 

 five-foot vine. It is about a week later than Alderman. 

 Potlach (upper two pods) is the heaviest yielder of the 

 early maturing late sorts. Ready in eighty-five days. 

 Dwarf Champion and Royal Salute (lower two pods) are 

 both good quality sorts of still later maturity.
