TABER'S EARLY PERFECTION, described by the raiser and the several persons who grew it last 

 season side by side with " First Crop," " Ringleader," and " First and Best," as coming in with these,

 longer and more numerous ; combining as it does with these qualities a very hardy constitution and robust 

 growth, it must necessarily supersede the present race of first early Peas. 3 ft 2s. Gd.
