variety has been offered for just 100 years, during 

 which time the type has been considerably improved 

 upon. Although it follows Alaska by two or three 

 days, its larger pod, higher sugar content, and its more 

 prolific bearing qualities make it a more desirable va- 

 riety for the general planter. The vine attains a height 

 of 20 inches, and the pods will grow to 2}4 inches.

 introduced into this country about 1880. The plant 

 attains a height of about 4 feet, and its heavy foliage 

 protects the newly forming pods against intense heat. 

 Although in the original type the pod was a light green, 

 by introducing Alderman blood it is now a rich dark 

 green. The pods will grow from 33^> to 4 inches long 

 and %inch wide. There will be from five to ten Peas 

 in the pod. Price, delivered: Vilb. 15 c ts.; lb. 35 cts.;

The Marchioness. 



Days to maturity, 56. 

 Also called World's 

 Record. We recommend this variety particularly 

 because of its delicious quality. The dry seeds are of a 

 fresh green color which indicates richer flavor. In many 

 respects The Marchioness resembles Gradus. The vine, 

 however, is 6 inches shorter and the Peas will be ready 

 for market four to five days earlier. The pods grow to 

 33^2 to 4 inches, are quite broad, pointed, and well filled.
