   "A 
  friend 
  of 
  mine 
  procured 
  these 
  seeds 
  from 
  a 
  plant 
  which, 
  he 
  says, 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  

   like 
  a 
  potato. 
  The 
  tubers 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  obtained, 
  as 
  they 
  were 
  growing 
  in 
  the 
  dirt, 
  

   within 
  the 
  crevices 
  of 
  rocks, 
  very 
  deep 
  down. 
  This 
  may 
  possibly 
  be

  etube- 
  

   rosum."

  The 
  Quick 
  pea. 
  — 
  This 
  is 
  strictly 
  a 
  new 
  variety 
  found 
  by 
  us 
  in 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  an 
  Atlanta 
  

  

  market 
  gardener. 
  We 
  call 
  it 
  the 
  Quick 
  pea, 
  because 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  quickest 
  in 
  market. 
  It 
  

  

  is 
  of 
  rather 
  low, 
  bushy 
  growth, 
  but 
  every 
  pod 
  is 
  ripened 
  up 
  above 
  the 
  foliage, 
  long 
  

  

  stems 
  being 
  thrown 
  up. 
  Every 
  pod 
  grows 
  entirely 
  in 
  the 
  sun. 
  It 
  makes 
  quick, 
  plenty 
  

  

  of 
  long, 
  slender, 
  meaty, 
  fine-flavored 
  pods 
  for 
  use 
  as 
  snaps, 
  coming 
  in 
  before 
  anything 
  

  

  else. 
  Three 
  crops 
  a 
  year 
  can 
  be 
  grown."
