Quick maturing. Pods are a decent size. Not very tolerant of heat, under stress before Sabre, Premium, Green Arrow, or Penelope. Under my conditions, a once over harvest and the vines are gone. Moderate yield. In fairness, when Burpee introduced this variety in 1949, it was specifically recommended for northern states.

So far this has been the best tasting pea I've grown. Easy to grow. Good yields, but not quite excellent. The great taste when eating them fresh from (or in) the garden makes it worth it. I will be growing this variety again this coming season.

Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet

Good taste, tender, will work if you get in early. Good but not great, yield was low. I am too far west for this one to thrive.
