NOTTS EXCELSIOR PEA 



The introducer describes it as fol 

 lows: 



"This very desirable pea grows to a 

 uniform height of one foot. Remark 

 ably hardy and productive, besides be 

 ing earlier than all the wrinkled peas, 

 it has been impartially tested the past 

 six years in various sections of the 

 United States and Canada. It is bo 

 hardy and vigorous that it may be 

 safely planted in early spring with an> 

 smooth variety, and counted on foT 

 table use almost as soon, while the 

 quality is far superior. During tht- 

 eight years that I have been develop- 

 ing these peas, they never failed to be 

 well matured for table use within fifty 

 days from planting, with ordinary gar 

 den culture. Pods large, with from 

 five to seven large peas in a pod. Very 

 tender and fine flavored."
