Bliss 7 Everbearing (No. 329) 
Height of vine 18 inelies to 2 feet; pods 3 to 4 
inches long, each pod containing 6 to 8 very 
large wrinkled peas, which are often Vi of an inch in diameter and of extra fine flavor. Its 
habit of growth is of peculiar branching character, forming many stalks from a single root. 
The individual branches are extra strong so that when hilled up properly they stand up well 
without brushing. This variety had best be planted in double rows about 8 inches apart. 
For continuance of bearing this variety is notable—a characteristic giving it a special value 
for late summer and fall use. After repeated picking the vines continue to he covered with 
blossoms and buds, developing to maturity in turn. The quality is equal to any pea we know 
and it is a variety that should be in every garden. Seed supply very short. Packet, 10 cents; 
Va pint, 15 cents; pint, 35 cents; quart, 40 cents; postpaid. Peek, $1.40; bushel, $5.00.
