the best of the so-called marrow peas. Itisasmooth 
pea of English origin, growing 18 inches to 2 feet 
high. It has a robust, branching habit, and 
requires no sticks. Wonderfully productive. The 
pods are large in size and extremely handsome in 
appearance, and the variety is a popular one for 
market and equally good for home use. The table 
quality is excellent. The size, shape and beauty of 
the pod are shown in the illustration, and I

SHROPSHIRE HERO.—This superb wrinkled 
pea is one of my greatest leaders, and I do not think 
there is a better late variety now under general 
cultivation. It attains a height of about 2% feet, 
and is esteemed for good quality and productive- 
ness. The pods are long, handsome and wonder- 
fully well filled, and are produced in great abund- 
ance. The peas are of unusually large size and 
delicious flavor; eight to ten tothe pod. Iam greatly 
pleased with the behavior of Shropshire Hero in 
my trial grounds, in comparison with all other 
varieties, and feel that it cannot be overpraised as a 
standard medium or late sort. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 
25¢., qt., 45c., postpaid, Pk., $1.50; bu., $5.50.
