The vines grow about 18 inches in height; the pods are long, containing 7 to 11 large wrinkled peas of finest quality, being very tender, sweet and fine flavored. There is never a sufficient supply of the seed and the price is consequently more than other sorts. Those who know Dwarf Telephone Peas best always order them again. Price-(10c per pkt.) (35c per lb.) prepaid. Not prepaid (25c per lb.) (24c per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) (23c per lb. In 100-lb. lots).
