5UTT0N'S SATISFACTION PEA. 



This new variety is the most tender and delicious in flavor of an}- pea grown. It was introduced by 

 us four years ago, and surpasses in popularity even the famous Telephone and Stratagem varieties. The 

 vine grows vigorously to a height of about two and one-half feet, requiring no brush or sticks to hold 

 them up, being very stocky and robust and literally filled with good sliowy pods. They follow closely 

 our best extra early sorts, being ready for the table fifty-six days from germination, and contiinu^ 

 ill bearing long'er than other early sorts. The peas when green are unusually large, and of fine deep 

 green color ; when dry are very distinct in appearance, being much more wrinkled than any other sort.
