Slightly longer than Hollow Crown Thick Shoulder. Roots smooth, evenly tapered 
and of an attractive light color. Should prove very acceptable to growers who prefer 
a type without too broad shoulder and a less abrupt taper than the shorter varieties. 
Hardy and a good keeper. The whitest in color and does not discolor as quickly out 
of the ground as most other varieties. 
PEAS 
Peas are planted the latter part of April in the vicinity of Detroit. The earlier varieties 
produce peas for table use about the middle of June. We have indicated for each variety the 
average number of days required to produce peas for table use, based on many years of 
observation. Very often peas may be gathered several days earlier than indicated.
