1880 - This variety was named after a steamship that held the Transatlantic speed record back in the 1800's. Three feet tall plants produce loads of 2-3 inch pods that have several small green peas. Good flavor for canning and soups. Early Alaskan is a very cold hardy pea and is ideal for cool climates. At only 55 days to maturity, it is the earliest pea you can raise in your garden! This variety is ideal for canning or freezing! Suitable for cold climates. Go to table of pea varieties
