This new strain originated in Denmark, but has been fully tested in 
ion ' America with the most happy results. I offered it in 1901 for the 
first time, and am well satisfied with its behavior. It produces a 
large, solid pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule’s

Than Alaska. 
I offered this new pea in 1901 for the first time, quoting the introducer 
to the effect that while it was 3 to 4 days later than the first early sorts, 
it was 80 to 50 per cent. more prolific. Four years’ experience with it 
eads me to conclude that it is practically as early as the very first of 
ill, and distinctly more prolific. 
The introducers, Messrs. N. B. Keeney & Son, prominent New York 
pea growers, thus speak of it. ‘‘About ten years ago the writer selected ir E N 
1 very productive plant of an extra early pea, having an exceptionally 
ong pod. From this, during the last ten years, was produced what we |
