Farquhar's Early Prolific Pea. 



Mr. .Arthur Dixon, Gardener for R. G. Hazard, Esq., 

 Peace Dale, R. I., Aug. 26, 1907, writes:—/ must also 

 speak of Farquhar's Prolific Early Pea. With me this 

 time it grew six feet, and two feet from the ground it was 

 loaded with peas. It was a heaj/tiful sight to see the two 

 double TOWS. Many people came to see them. I wish I had 

 them photographed, but I failed to do it. It is a fine Pea 

 and one of the greatest croppers and the largest bearing 

 Peas I hare grown . Gentlemen, I hope this vilt be of interest 

 to you as I felt I could not let it go by without writing you.
