 List of 



VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



PEAS.— Continued. SECOND OR MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES. 



*Melting Marrow, Henderson's. Henderson's Melting Marrow Pea is early 

 following immediately after the extra early sorts, thus filling in the gap 

 between these and the midsummer varieties, though by successive sowings 

 Melting Marrow Peas may be long enjoyed. 



The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 inches high 

 with sturdy branching stalks that are practically self-supporting, so that 

 brush is not essential. The massive pods are produced in prodigal abundance 

 from ground to summit and are packed with from six to eight immense 

 wrinkled Marrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is maintained when 

 cooked, thus appearing especially attractive when served, while the delicious 

 quality and superb rich flavor is unequalled by any pea of American origin 



*Shropshire Hero. 2t feet. A robust growing sort, producing a large crop of 

 handsome pods, well filled with large peas of exquisite flavor
