No. 770. Sutton's Excelsior. Days to Maturity, 60. In- 

 troduced originally by Sutton, of England, and listed in this country 

 by Farquhar & Company, of Boston, in 1902. It has largely taken 

 the place of the Nott's Excelsior and the American Wonder, its 

 great merit being its handsome, large pods, which grow on such 

 dwarf vines, the vines attaining a height of fifteen inches. The pods 

 wiU average three inches in length. The seed is a pale green, wrinkled, 

 medium large.

No. 774. Pride of the Market. Days to Maturity, 70. 

 Probably a selection out of the older Stratagem, which originated 



with Carter, of England, one of whose parents is said to be the 

 Telephone. The vine wiU attain a height of about eighteen inches. 

 It is proUfic, bearing pods four inches long, broad, round at end point, 

 usually straight and weU. filled. As a variety to use this year in view 

 of the serious seed crop shortages, we believe Pride of the Market 

 win hold an important place. The seed is bluish green, irregular in 

 shape and dented.

No. 754. American Wonder. Days to Maturity, 55. One 

 of the earhest wrinkled peas under cultivation. It originated with 

 Mr. Charles Arnold, of Canada, about 1878, from a claimed cross 

 between Champion of England and McLean's Little Gem. The 

 vines will average between twelve and fifteen inches, producing pods 

 two and one-half inches in length, roimd and crowded to the end 

 with peas. This crowding often makes the peas appear almost square. 

 It is a variety which responds quickly to high cultivation. It has 

 the pecuharity of producing leaves on the side of the stalk. Dried 

 seeds green, wrinkled, medium in size, often square at ends.
