Second early or main crop. Good for market and especially so for the home garden.  Long, large, thick pods, peas of first-class quality. A most valuable variety of the Telephone type; remarkably hardy in growth, producing dark-green pods of large size, well filled with extra large sweet peas. The vines grow three feet in height and are very productive. Pods and peas dark green in color. One of the largest varieties; height from 4 to 5 feet. Prolific, each pod containing 6 to 10 extra large wrinkled peas of good quality. A little earlier than Telephone. Developped in England, 1882. Go to table of pea varieties
