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 
well as those without holes. Market gardeners in this neighborhood 
who have been planting the Extra Early Peas for years, will not take 
them without holes, and consider these a trade mark. 
FIELD OR COW PEAS. 
There are a great many varieties of Cow Peas, different in color 
and growth. They are planted mostly for fertilizing purposes, and 
are sown broad-cast; when in a good stand, and of sufficient height, 
they are plowed under. The Clay Pea is the most popular. There 
are several varieties called crowders, which do not grow as tall as the 
others, but produce a great many pods, which are used green, the 
same as snap-beans, and if dried, like dried beans, nake a very good 
dish. The crowders are of an oblong shape, almost pointed at one 
end; they are on an average larger than the other Field Peas. Lady 
Peas are small, white, with a black eye; they are generally planted 
between corn, so that they can run up onit. Dry, they are considered 
the very best variety for cooking.
