Other French Varieties 



A. Shelling Peas 



Pois Bivort. — A climbing variety, of moderate height and 

 early, with smooth white peas. It hardly differs from the Early 

 Emperor Pea. 



P. Blanc d' Auvergne. — A late kind, with a tall, very branching 

 stem. Flowers white ; pods very small and narrow, but well filled ; 

 peas white, square in shape. This is a good variety for feeding 

 cattle, but comes in too late in the season to be of any great use as 

 a kitchen-garden plant. 



P, Cafe. — A Canadian variety of the cattle-feeding class, tall 

 and late, with red flowers and brown peas, which are somewhat 

 elongated and flattened in shape.
