* One pod 
It appears that Cleveland’s Rural New Yorker was earliest forming 
the first pod of edible size in fifty-two days; Dexter, Kentish In- 
victa, Reedland, Shah de Persia, Landreth’s Extra Early and Thor- 
burn’s Extra Early Market had pods of edible size in fifty-three 
days; earliest of all, Express, Prince Albert, and a new sort from 
Messrs. Bliss, “No. 72,” in fifty-four days. Strange to say, the 
earliest of all, which in 1882 and 1883 led the van in our trials, was 
surpassed in earliness by seven so-called varieties the past season. 
It appears, also, that the Large Green Normandy, a variety re- 
ceived from France, was latest, one planting of Prince Albert second, 
and Knight’s Tall Marrow third. The latter remained fit for table 
use longer than any other variety, while the Very Dwarf Bretagne 
matured its crop most rapidly. 
The Tall Green Mammoth was most prolific in pods, and the Reed- 
land was least prolific. Bliss’ Everbearing and McLean’s Best of 
All, produced the largest weight of peas per plant and Reedland the 
smallest. The Dwarf Michaux de Hollande gave the largest average 
number of peas per pod, and Knight’s Dwarf Marrow and Large 
Green Normandy the smallest. 
The Shah de Persia, a distinct wrinkled pea received from France, 
gave its first edible pod in fifty-three days— two days earlier than 
the American Wonder, which has heretofore enjoyed the reputation 
of being the earliest wrinkled pea. Another season, however, may 
show quite a different result.
