NOTT'S EXCELSIOR PEA 



The introducer describes it as follows : 

 "This very desirable pea grows to a 

 uniform height of one foot. Remarkably 

 hardy and productive, besides being ear- 

 lier than all the wrinkled peas, it has 

 been impartially tested the past six 

 years in various sections of the United 

 States and Canada. It is so hardy and 

 viporous that it may be safely planted 

 in early spring with any smooth variety, 

 and counted on for table use almost as 

 soon, while the quality is far superior. 

 During the eight years that I have been 

 developing these peas, they have never 

 failed to be well matured for table use 

 witliin fifty days from planting, with or- 

 dinary garden culture. Pods large, with 

 from five to seven large peas in a pod. 

 Very tender and fine flavored."
