One of the heavier yielding peas. Vines 
are about 18 inches high. The 3 inch pods 
bear 7 or 8 large peas. The pods are 
square ended, nearly rounded in diam- 
eter and tightly packed. They are very 
tender and light green in color. A good 
choice for freezing. 62 days. 
EARLY SCARLET 
GLOBE RADISH 
Bright red skinned, white fleshed with 
a slightly elongated globe shape. De- 
licious and consistently good. It grows 
to*perfection in rich, loose prepared soil.

that desirable tasty crispness, Radishes 
left in the ground too long become bitter 
and pithy. Matures in 24 days.
