Height of vine 2 to 3 feet. Pods 3 to 4 inches long, each pod containing 5 
to 6 wrinkled peas of very fine table quality. Size of peas large to very , 
large, frequently ^ inch in diameter. Its habit of growth is of peculiar 
branching character, forming as many as ten stalks to a single root. The 
individual or separate branches are of extraordinary strength and sub- 
stance so that when hilled up properly they stand without “brushing.”

teristic which gives it special value for late spring and early summer use. 
Even after repeated picking the vines continue to develop buds and blos- 
soms which mature into fine peas. Packet, 10c ; % pound, 20c ; pound, 40c ;
