DWARF MAIN-CROP VARIETIES

 quality sorts available. The exceedingly thrifty 

 vines bear from 6 to 8 pods of deep green color, averaging 4 y 2 

 inches long, as shown in the illustration alongside. Each pod 

 is filled with from 8 to 10 large, deep green Peas, which, in 

 flavor, are among the sweetest. In comparative trials, con- 

 ducted a few years ago, Potlach outyielded ten of the leading 

 and most pedigreed varieties, a 15-foot row producing io 

 quarts of pods in two pickings, a week apart, while the near- 

 est competitor, Thomas Laxton, offered below, yielded 

 Potlach Peas 8 quarts from the same length of row. We heartily recom- 



mend Potlach as the choicest dwarf midseason sort available.

NOTE. — The American Seed Trade generally has adopted the cental system of pricing Peas, Beans, and Corn. We therefore offer by weight instead 

 of measure. One pound of Peas is equal to about 1 pint; 2 pounds to about 1 quart.
