productive. 
Dwarf Sugar. A variety of which 
the whole pod can be used after the 
string is drawn off from the back of the 
‘pod. Three feet high. 
Vall Sugar. Has the same qualities 
as the foregoing kind, only grows taller, 
and the pods are somewhat larger. 
Neither of these two varieties are very 
popular here. 
THE PEA BUG. 
All peas grown near Philadelphia have small holes in them, caused by the 
sting of the Pea Bug, while the pod is forming, when it deposits its egg init. Later 
the insect perfects itself and comes out of the dry pea, leaving the hole. 
The germ of the pea is never destroyed, and they grow equally as wellas those 
without holes. 
Market gardeners in this neighborhood who hive been planting 
the Extra Early Peas for years, will not take them without holes, and consider 
these a trade mark.
