Stokes* Early Epicure Pea 



This new Pea, in color of foliage, habit of plant and size and shape 

 of the pods, somewhat resembles the Premium Gem ; but it grows a 

 little taller, is very much more prolific and hardy, and the quality is 

 simply delicious. The pods are well filled to the tip. It is an enor- 

 mous cropper, producing fully 50 

 per cent more than the McLean's 

 or Premium Gem, and of the 

 finest quality. I predict for the 

 Stokes' Early Epicure Pea, when 

 it becomes once introduced, that 

 it will largely take the place of 

 the Peas of the Gem class, as it 

 has every good quality that they 

 possess and will produce almost 

 double the crop. Pkt. ic cts.. pt.

 Early. The seed resembles the 

 seed of the Extra-Early sorts, 

 but is somewhat wrinkled. Pkt.
