able variety because of its long bearing season. The 
vines are very vigorous in growth, reaching a height 
of 31% feet, and bearing an average of 18 to 20 pods

Sugar Peas 
This class of Peas is cooked without removing the 
pods and makes a most delicious vegetable dish. 
The pods are very tender and exceedingly sweet 
when young.

American Wonder, being unusually dwarf. Despite 
its small size, it bears good-sized pods which are 
beautifully crimpled and of exquisite melting flavor. 
Smooth white seed. 
MAMMOTH LUSCIOUS. The largest, sweetest, 
and most desirable of the Sugar Peas. They reach a 
height of 5 feet and are literally covered with large, 
broad pods which are so brittle that they snap with- 
out any string. When cooked, the pods are very 
sweet and tender. Large, wrinkled brown seed. 
DWARF GRAY SUGAR. A gray-seeded variety. 
The vines grow about 15 inches high, producing a 
heavy crop of small, flat pods about 3 inches in 
length. Just the variety to plant where a dwarf sort 
is desired. Grayish brown seed, smaller than Mam- 
moth Luscious. 
MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR. The pods of 
this variety are so brittle that they snap without any 
string. The plants grow to a height of 5 feet and 
bear a profusion of large, broad, delicious pods. One 
of the best Sugar Peas. Smooth white seed, resem- 
bling Marrowfat, but larger.
