This is an early kind, very prolific, grows perfectly erect and does 
not spread on the ground like other varieties. They can be easily culti- 
vated with the plow. In harvesting they are easily gathered, as all the 
peas hang close to the roots. They mature in about three or four months. 
The stems, when harvested, make a very ‘good quality of hay. The fruit 
is smaller than the Virginia and other varieties; is very sweet and pods 
fill out well. Can be planted close in the row and drill, yields heavily 
per acre. A very good feed for fattening hogs.
