GARDEN STEPS 



They have large, well- 

 filled pods, and peas of 

 superior size and flavor. 

 Because of their quick 

 growth" and large crops, 

 these peas are found in 

 the gardens of experi- 

 enced farmers every- 

 where. 



Main Crops. — For 

 the main crop of later- 

 season peas, we ha\-e 

 those like the Cham- 

 pion of Ejigland, Mar- 

 rowfat, and Telephone. 

 These may be had in 

 the dwarf strains, but the standard climbing va- 

 rieties are usually planted. They develop large, 

 bushy vines, sometimes six or seven feet high. 



The Telephone represents this group well. It is 

 hardy, of strong growth, and is without a superior 

 as a table delicacy when cooked twelve to fifteen 

 minutes and served with a little butter. This pea 

 grows to a height of five or six feet and bears great, 

 heavy pods, often containing seven or eight peas. 

 If well fertilized, and grown where the soil is not 

 too dry, this type of pea will continue to bear for 

 nearly a month, as it sends out a remarkably strong 

 root growth.
