PEA. 



93 



Prince Albert. — A dwarf grower, pods and pea small, four 

 days earlier than any variety we have yet tried, good flavor. 



Extra Early. — A very early Pea that has been cultivated in 

 this vicinity about fifty years, and was exclusively, for a long 

 period, in the possession of a Mr. Cooper, near Camden, N. J., 

 who. I am informed, obtained the seed from a German emigrant. 

 It is the sort most extensively cultivated for our market, and 

 for that purpose is preferable to any other, the crop being 

 nearly all ready at once, when the ground can be cleared for a 

 crop of Beans, or late Tomatoes. 



Early Grotto. — A very superior family early Pea, both in 

 size and flavor ; three or four days later than the former, and 

 continues a much longer time in bearing. 



Early May. — A fine early variety, good flavored, and very 

 productive. 



Early Frame. — A very celebrated Pea in Europe, where its 

 hardiness makes it a general favorite. It is an abundant bearer 

 and an excellent family Pea. 



Early Charlton. — A very hardy early Pea, which comes in 

 well as a secondary crop. 



Bishop 's Dwarf. — A very remarkable dwarf variety, requiring 

 no stakes nor support of any kind, except the earth drawn to 

 its stems. It is very prolific, but does not do to sow late, as it is 

 subject to mildew. It can be sown in rows eighteen inches apart. 

 Draw the earth more to one side of the plants than the other, 

 which will lay them all in one position, from which the crop 

 can be more conveniently gathered. 



The above varieties, with the exception of Bishop's Dwarf, 

 should be sown about three feet apart. Give them all stakes 

 or rods, for the double purpose of protecting them from the 

 wind and to support the vines. With stakes the crop can be 

 more readily gathered, and the plants will mature every pod. 

 A quart of early Peas will sow four drills, each thirty yards long. 



Royal Dwarf. — This succeeds the early varieties. It grows 

 between three and four feet high.
