COLE'S PEA SEED 



43 



Nott's Excelsior Pea 



The introducer describes it as follows: 

 "This very desirable pea grows to a 

 uniform height of One foot. Remarkably 

 hardy and productive, besides being ear- 

 lier than all the wrinkled peas, it has 

 been impartiallj' tested the past six years 

 in various sections of the United States 

 and Canada. It is so hardy and -s-igorous 

 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 superior. During 

 the 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 garden 

 culture. Pod,s large, with from five to 

 seven large peas in a pod. Very tender 

 and fine flavored."
