Huge Pods — Luscious Quality Peas 
75 days. To those who wish huge podded peas, we suggest that 
they plant this Giant Exhibition Pea. It is a late maturing kind. Is 
a wrinkled pea, very productive, the huge pods being well packed 
with peas, which, although large, are of a fine quality, sweet, sug- 
ary flavor and not tough as one would expect. The pods frequently 
grow to seven and even eight inches in length, depending of course 
somewhat on the soil, and it is not unusual to find between ten and 
twelve peas to the pod. The lateness of this Giant Exhibition is 
fully offset by its productiveness and its vigorousness. It has 
numerous first prizes to its credit, from various fairs, which ac- 
counts for its being named Exhibition. One of the best main crop 
varieties. Good for freezing. 
Pods rather straight, with curve near end. Vines grow vigorously. 
Ready to use in about 75 days.
