that it is also the earliest by several days, shouldn't you
consider whether you do right in planting any other kind.
Here is some we have more :
Of fifty brands of extra early peas selected by the North

In similar tests at the Virginia Experiment Station, ours
were the earliest and the only ones given special praise.
All our peas are perfectly pure but the Nonpareil is the
