foliage. The pods are long, broad, pointed, dark-green in color and

It is a late maturing kind. Is a wrinkled pea. veryPro¬ 
ductive. the huge pods being well packed with peas, which, 
although large, are of a fine quality, sweet, sugary flavor 
and not tough as one would expect. The pods frequently 
grow to seven and even eight inches in length, depending of 
course somewhat on the soil, and it is not unusual to find 
between ten and twelve peas to the pod. The lateness of 
SalzeUs Giant Exhibition is fully offset by its productive¬ 
ness and its vigorousness. It has numerous first prizes to 
its credit, from various fairs, which accounts for its being 
named Exhibition. The pods are uniform m size, of a rich 
dark green color, and well packed with large 
size peas. One of the best mam crop va-
