NOTT'S EXCELSIOR PEA. 



Nott's Ex- 

 celsior is the 

 best dwarf 

 wrinkled extra 

 early of recent 

 introduction. It 

 was originateil u' 

 in Vermont by 

 Richard Nott, 

 the well-known 

 specialist. The 

 vines are larger and moi c 

 vigorous than the Aniei i- 

 can Wonder, while the I 

 pods are fully one-third • 

 larger, containing six to 

 eight fine, large peas, 

 packed so closely to- i 

 gether in the pods that \ 

 the peas are always 

 more square than round. 

 The pods are always well 

 filled with peas, which, 

 in sweetness and quality, have 

 no superior. Our supply i'- 

 grown from stock from the 

 originator, and can be depend- 

 ed on as being the true sort

 grows uniformly about two aaid one-half feet high and is liter- 

 ally covered with its long, heavy, pointed pods— in fact, so 

 striking and distinct is this variety that it would be picked 

 out at once in a field of one hundred other varieties. We 

 have often seen pods with tight to ten peas, and sometimes 

 twelve. The quality of this pea is simply perfection — that 

 rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the peas grown
