  "This 
  is 
  a 
  valuable 
  early 
  and 
  productive 
  variety, 
  yields 
  enormously 
  of 
  shelled 
  peas, 
  

   which 
  are 
  excellent 
  for 
  table 
  use 
  during 
  the 
  winter. 
  It 
  makes 
  an 
  ordinary 
  vine, 
  not 
  

   so 
  rank 
  as

  stand 
  erect,

  having 
  3

  6 
  pods

  each 
  stem, 
  and 
  some 
  pods 
  contain 
  

   as 
  many 
  as 
  20 
  peas, 
  making 
  them 
  very 
  easy

   average
