 "For the private gardener, ■who demands a first

 "Weeks is very desirable." In our Pea Trials, it 

 was ready for picking before any of the other 

 extra early varieties and the quality all that 

 could be asked for in a smooth extra early Pea. 

 The vines ■were very dwarf, growing only 12 to 

 15 inches in height and loaded do^vn with the -well 

 filled pods, -^-hich ■v^-ere quite large in size for so 

 early a variety. The pods should be picked from 

 vines ■while they are in a young state of growth,

 and of a most delicious flavor. 2 lbs., 70 cts.;
