    This one that I am growing for nostalgia, I grew alongside Freezer, Freezonian, and Early Bird in the the 60's. It was a Rogers introduction in 1960. Performed well. When I found seeds this year I just had to take a walk in the past. It is performing well here. Medium size standard plant average pods. Not as productive as some of the newer varieties but a good home garden pea.
