NOTTS EXCELSIOR PEA 



The introducer describes it as fol- 

 lows: 



"This very desirable pea grows to 

 a uniform height of one foot. Re- 

 markably hardy and productive, be- 

 sides being 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 so hardy and vigorous 

 that it may be safely planted in early 

 spring with any smooth variety, and 

 counted on for table use almost as 

 soon, while the quality is far su- 

 perior. During the eight years that 

 T have been developing these peas, 

 they never failed to be well matured 

 for table use within fifty days from 

 planting, with ordinary garden cul- 

 ture. Pods large, with from five to 

 seven large peas in a pod. Very ten- 

 der and fine flavored."
