0305, Svalof's " Grop " or Grinding Pea, is a pedigree sort out of the Description 

 English sort Early Britain and is at present the leading sort for grinding 

 purposes. On account of the meagre development of its foliage it is not sc 

 suitable as a soiling crop. Came on the market first in 1907. 



0401, Solo Pea, is a sister sort of the above but unlike the latter is 

 especially valued as a sort for soiling purposes. It is about eight days later 

 in maturing and produces large brownish seeds, which frequently are covered 

 with fine blueish dots. In the field it is easily distinguished from all other 

 Arvense sorts in that the axils are colorless or a light green as in the white 

 flowered sorts although the flowers of this variety are normally pigmented 

 (red or violet). This sort was first placed on the market in the spring of 1906. 



0234, Concordia Pea, is a pedigree sort out of the old Blue-Green English 

 variety and is the highest yielding cooking pea yet produced at Svalof. 

 The straw is short. The seeds are quite large, somewhat flattened and 

 blueish-green in color. Since green colored cooking pease are not popular in 

 Sweden this sort has been crossed with such sorts as 0157 and Capital II 

 which possess a more desirable color, namely pure yellow. Came on the 

 market for the first time in 1906. 



0137 , Svalof's Capital Pea, is an especially fine tasting cooking sort, and 

 produces a good yield under suitable conditions. The seeds are average 

 size, yellow or often somewhat greenish in color. Came on the market in 

 1904. 



0185, Svalof's Capital II, resembles Capital closely in date of maturity 

 and yielding power, but differs from it in certain botanical characters. The 

 pods are usually somewhat smaller and frequently occur two together on 

 the one pedicle. The seeds are commonly of a deeper yellow than is usually 

 the case in the last mentioned sort. Came on the market first in 1907. 



The Victoria Pea, which is believed to have originated in England, was 

 introduced into Sweden from Germany in the eighties, and quickly obtained 

 a very wide distribution. It is a tall growing, coarse stalked sort producing 

 large, round, yellow seed. Owing to its disposition to continue growing past 

 the normal time of maturing, especially during moist seasons, it has had to 

 take a minor place in competition with the earlier maturing productions. 



The above six sorts with the exception of Victoria, were under investiga- 

 tion in the large comparative yielding tests in 1910. In addition to these 

 sorts twelve others of va^ing practical values occupied a similar position. 

 These were as follows: Osgota yellow; Ostgota yellow from Braberg; Early 

 market; 0115, a pedigree sort out of Early Blossom; 0152, a pedigree out of 

 a German variety; 0159, out of a yellow variety grown in the district of 

 Orebro ; 0351 out of a Danish sort ; 0550 the product of an artificial crossing 

 between Early Britain and a Norwegian pea (Early Sand); 0632 and 0633, 

 pedigree sorts out of the Danish variety Marmoreret Glceno; Marmoreret 

 Glceno; Jemtlands Grey and Rattviks.
