NOTE REGARDING OLD VARIETIES OF PEAS. We have discontinued several of the old varieties, such as 
Champion of England, Duke of Albany, White and Black-Eyed Marrowfat, Stratcigem, Bliss, Evergreen, Little Gem 
and other antiquated varieties still being called for. We recommend that you use the newer and better sorts. In 
Connecticut, for the past several years, early sorts have done better than late, for they are through before hot weather 
arrives. Peas do not thrive in hot weather.
