02920 LITTLE MARVEL. Combines extreme earliness with exceptional productivity. Consis- tently one of our best sellers. Peas stay in perfect condition on the vine, so picking time is not so critical. Compact, dwarf vines grow only 18 to 20 in. tall and never need to be staked. Dark green, nearly round, blunt pods are 3 in. long and packed with 7 to 8 large, deep green peas. Peas are soft- skinned and shell very eas- ily by hand. One of our best all-purpose peas. Equally good if used fresh, canned or frozen. Wrinkled. Only 58 days. (A) Pkt. (1-1/2 oz.) $2.15; 3+ $2.00 each; (N) 1/2 lb. $5.75; (P) 1 lb. $9.50; (P) 2 lb. $16.95; (P) 5 lb. $34.95.
