the vine Is robust and <br> the foliage is large and vigorous closely resembling Telephone in general ap- <br> pearance though dwarfer and veiy much earlier The pods which are as <br> large as Telephone are produced in great abundance and are -well filled <br> ¢wnth from six to ten peas of enormous size but as we have stated its chief <br> value lies in its earliness and delicious flavor; when we consider that a pea so <br> large and as rich in flavor as any of the later wrinkled sorts can be had three <br> days after Henderson's First of All thebest and earliest round or hardrshell variety <br> its value can be readily seen <br> Among those who grow peas for their own use exclusively there are many <br> who plant only the extra early types because our short spring and hot summers <br> are not conducive to the free growth of the later varieties It is to this class <br> of growers that we recommend this variety with confidence They can no'w <br> obtain early in the season – while climatic conditions are favorable as de- <br> licious peas as is possible under any circumstances in this country or any <br> Other 15c j pint 25c pint 40c quart 2 50 peck 8 00 bushel <br> Beans Corn and Peas we do NOT deliver free <br> but will do so It 'I'oc per quart Is added to the orices 42383149 133997 66553 Page 14 Text http //www biodiversitylibrary org/page/42383149 1902 10 5962/bhl title 66553 Henry G Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection ;
