COLE-S PEA SEED L^,J^^ /Oj^^^ 



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 wrinked peas, it has 

 been impartially tested the past six years 

 in various section of the United States 

 and Canada. It is so hardy and Adgorous 

 that it may be safely planted in early 

 spring with any smooth variety, and 

 counted on for table use almost as soon, 

 jvhile 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. Pods large, with from five to 

 seven large peas in a pod. Very tender 

 and fine flavored."
