Carter’s Green Gage, Ben., ripened the first fruits at the 
earliest date but not in the least number of days from 
planting ; the fruits of this variety are small and of but 
little value except for pickling. 
San Salvador, Dam., ripened first fruit and also the first 
ten fruits in the shortest time from planting, which were 
139 and 141 days respectively. The fruit of this variety 
appears to be of no value in this country. 
Seeds of Canada Victor (extra selected seed), Greg., and 
Canada Victor, G'reg., were planted and there appeared to 
be no difference in the fruit of the two plantings either in 
earliness or other qualities. 
Two plants of the Potato Leaf were received June 7 from 
A. W. Livingston’s Sons. Not knowing when the seeds 
were planted, the number of days in the table could not be 
filled in correctly. The fruits were much smoother and not 
as large as the Mikado, Hen. 
Synonyms. 
Burpee’s Cardinal, Burpee, does not appear different from 
Cardinal, G'reg., ’85. 
Carter’s Green Gage, Ben., is the same as Green Gage, 
Thor., ’83. 
The Wonder of Italy, Dam., does not differ from King 
Humbert, Thor., ’85. 
PEA. 
Seeds from twenty-six differently named packages of 
peas were planted April 16. Four packages that were 
numbered came in later and were planted April 19 and 20. 
One row twelve feet long was planted from each package, 
the seeds placed three inches apart, the rows seven feet 
apart. The rows were bushed as soon as the plants began 
to send out tendrils. 
The ‘‘ days fit for table use” in the table indicates the 
days between the time when the earliest and latest pods 
were of edible size. 
The data noted appear on next page.
