IVlcJLieSLn S Advancer pods, about two and three-fourths to three inches long, which are abundantly produced and well 



fiUed to the ends. This pea is used very extensively by market gardeners because of its productiveness and fine appearance 



of its pods, and is popular with consumers on account of its quality. It is also largely used by canners. By careful se- 

 lection we have developed a strain showing marked improvements in vigor of plant, size of pod and productiveness.
