World’s Record 
An Extra Early Type of Gradus 
STANDARD PEAS — Continued 
*Duke of Albany. A fine type of dark podded Tele¬ 
phone and one of the most productive; vines are 
strong and vigorous, 3feet in height, with immense 
dark green pods well filled with large, very sweet peas. 
* Dwarf Defiance (Potlatch). A splendid large podded 
variety of the Stratagem type; vines about 2 feet 
high, strong, heavy and well covered with 5 inch, 
broad, pointed, dark green pods. 
*Dwarf Telephone, Rice’s Improved. A very excellent 
main crop variety 2j/£ feet in height, producing an 
abundance of large, handsome, deep green pods. 
Marrowfat, Large White. Quite similar to the Black- 
Eyed variety except the seed is entirely white. 
*Prince Edward. One of the best and most productive 
of the large, dark podded Telephone types; pods are 
uniformly large and well filled. 
*Quite Content. An exhibition variety with exceed¬ 
ingly long, broad pods of the Alderman type. 
*Stratagem, Improved. A well known old favorite 
sort, growing 2 feet in height, with a stout, dark 
green vine, producing long, pointed, dark green pods. 
Sugar, Mammoth Melting (Tall White Sugar) (Edible 
Pods). The most popular and largest of the edible 
podded varieties. The sugar peas are not shelled 
like ordinary varieties but the pods are gathered 
when the seed is partially developed and used in the 
same manner as snap beans; they have a rich sugary 
flavor. 
*Sugar, Dwarf Gray Seeded (Edible Pods). A purple 
blossomed variety, quite like Tall Gray, but earlier 
and more dwarf. 
*Sugar, Tall Gray Seeded (Edible Pods). A popular edible podded variety, growing 4 feet in height. 
Sugar, Dwarf White (Edible Pods). Compared with Mammoth Melting Sugar, is earlier and with a less broad pod. 
*Sugar, Giant Luscious. Considered one of the best of the large podded, sugar varieties. 
*Telephone. An old favorite, standard, high quality variety, but is being largely supplanted by dark podded types. 
Fresh Peas are one of the most palatable of all early summer vegetables and if successive plantings are 
made it is easy to have the family table supplied until early fall.
