Wrinkled Peas remain longer in season, are more delicate in flavor, and sweeter than the smooth 
sorts, as in sugar corn, the wrinkled appearance indicates a greater amount of saccharine matter. 
IMPROVED ALPHA.—The earliest tall rowing wrinkled 
pea, and almost as early as American Wonder. Vines about 
three feet high, slender, mostly unbranched and _ bearing five 
to ten medium sized, slightly curved pods, each containing 
four to eight, green, medium sized peas, which are exceed- 
ingly sweet and tender. We offer a very superior strain of 
this sort and recommend it as the best in quality of any tall 
early pea and especially adapted to the home garden.
