BURPEE'S QUANTITY PEA. BURPEE'S QUANTITY PEA. Immensely productive, BURPEE'S QUANTITY jproduces more pods to the vine (more bushels of pods to a given area), and wore shelled peas to a bushel of pods, than ang other variety^ except- ing only our new Pea, Buepee's Peo- FUSIOX, DESCEIBED On PAGE 12. The vine grows 2; to 2; feet in height, and is of the most remarlahle tranching char- acter, as many as six main branches or haulms starting directly from the root at the surface of the ground ; of very stout growth, the foliage is a healthy green, and the vines are crowded with pods, generally borne in pairs. Under ordinary field culture they averaged fifty pods each, while we have counted as many as ninety pods on a single vine. The pods are three inches long, and contain 7 to 9 large peas, so closely crowded together that tliey are flattened on the sides; the quality is very good. Compared with Bliss'S Ever-bearing Pea, it branches more uniformly, produces many more pods to the vine, and the pods are much better filled. The illustration here- with is exactly natural size, and it will be seen that these compact, well-filled, handsome pods, borne in such wonder- ful abundance, are much more profit- able to grow and will sell much better on market than the long, windy pods, sparingly produced, of certain new English varieties lately introduced. Planted May 2d, the peas were ready for eating July 5th, and continued long in bearing. In Quality \eTj fine ; while in Quantity, Burpee's Quan- tity Pea far out-yields all the older varieties. Per package 10 cents ; 3 packages for 25 cts. ; per pint 25 cts. ; per quart 45 cts., postpaid, by mail.
