Among Market Gardeners 
We are sure that as soon as a gardener becomes acquainted with this 
variety he will quit growing the old varieties. In season this new sort 
ripens with the American Wonder, while the pods, usually borne in pairs, 
are more numerous, larger and contain one or two more Peas. Its two 
striking features are: The beautiful dark green color of the pods and its 
great keeping qualities, when ready for the table staying in excellent con¬ 
dition for a week longer than other similar earlies. Little Marvel is an 
extraordinary cropper, and although the pods are only of medium size, it 
is fully as productive as most larger podded kinds. Vines 15 inches high; 
pods in pairs 2 Y 2 to 3 inches long, square at bottom, jammed with 6 to 8 
quite large, deep green, wrinkled Peas, which are of luscious sugary flavor.
