EARLY DELICIOUS (NEW). 



An extra early variety of outstanding merit. The vines grow about 2 feet high and produce an enor- 

 mous crop. The pods are 3 to 3^i inches long, straight, pointed, dark green, and contain 7 to 8 deep 

 green peas of good quality. In season Early Delicious is ready practically as soon as Alaska, and 

 has the added advantage of being more productive, larger podded, and above all, of much higher 

 quality. The seed is semi-smooth, or dimpled and for this reason can be planted earlier than is 

 possible for the wrinkled varieties. Season 56 days.
