This variety was developed from a cross between Laxton's Progress and a hardy Per- 
fection type pea by Dr. B. L. Wade, U. S. Regional Vegetable Breeding Laboratory at 
Charleston, S. C. It was bred for tolerance to heat and cold. The peas are of 
medium size and excellent quality and indications are that it will prove to be a fine 
home garden sort, as well as for canning and freezing. Pods seem to be too small for 
fresh market.

internodes, ten days to two weeks later than Laxton's Progress.

Vigna sinensis Uses Code Picking 
Table peas in this group make a fine edible product when properly cooked and seasoned. When 
the dry peas are saved for later use they should be carefully fumigated and stored in a dry, cool, 
clean place to prevent weevil from developing and from reinfesting the seed or they will be very 
quickly ruined for edible purposes.

both commercial and home canning in the South. A vining type producing long round
