313 Maule’s Prodigious or Prince Edward 
The Giant of the Pea Family 
The Largest Podded, the Heaviest Cropper, the Greatest and Unrivaled Pea 
There are few varieties of seed in this seed book that are better named than this pea. Nothing 
more nearly expresses its one remarkabie characteristic than its name Prodigious, when you 
consider that this variety will produce pods attaining the extraordinary length of 7 inches and 
upwards, closely packed with 11 to 13 large, dark green peas of fine flavor. The plant is of 
branching habit, growing about 5 feet in height, with dark green foliage. It is of very vig- 
orous and robust constitution, which enables it to withstand drought and mildew. The pods 
are produced in great profusion, mostly in pairs. Prodigious cannot be excelled as an exhibi- 
tion sort, on account of its striking and very attractive appearance. Market gardeners who 
do not know Prodigious should give it atrial. Thereare thousands of our customers who will 
be delighted to show their friends such enormous pods of peas, the largest, by far, they have 
ever seen; matures in 72 days. 
Packet, 12 cents; half pound, 30 cents; pound, 50 cents, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, pound, 35 cents; 5 pounds or over at 
30 cents per pound; 100 pounds, $25.00.
