 pea is one of my greatest leaders, and I do not think

 ness. The pods are long, handsome and wonder- 

 fully well filled, and are produced in great abund- 

 ance. The peas are of unusually large size and de- 

 licious flavor; eiirht to ten to the pod. I am greatlv 

 pleased with the behavior of Shropshire Hero in
