PEAS.— Continued. 



I^merican Champion. — One of the largest and 

 most productive Peas grown. Pods generally grow in pairs, 

 and are well filled with nine to twelve large Peas of excel- 

 lent flavor. Vine is of branching habit; four and a half feet. 

 Qt., 20c.; peck, $1.15; bush., $4.00. 



I* Everbearing'. — A splendid bearing variety, maturing 

 soon after June. Vine about eighteen inches high, and 

 very regular; Peas wrinkled; large and very fine flavored. 

 Qt., 20c., peck, $1.15; bush., $4.00. 



/^ Dwarf Giant Podded Prolific Green Mar- 

 row. — This variety has become a favorite with the con- 

 sumer as well as grower. Vines of a strong growth with a 

 large dark green foliage, but only eighteen to twenty inches 

 in height and do not need to be supported. Pods of large 

 size, well filled with large, dark green Peas of rich marrow 

 flavor. Qt., 15c.; peck. $1.25; bush., $4.50. 



Improved Pride of tlie Market. — Pride of the 

 *^Market is among the finest in quality of all the large-podded 

 dwarf-growing garden Peas This new strain has been care- 

 fully selected and bears most uniformly very large, hand- 

 some, dark green pods, which are all well filled with large 

 Peas of the finest quality. The season is the same as that 

 of the Telephone, but the vines being of dwarf growth and 



not needing brush, it is a more desirable variety for small 

 gardens as well as for field culture on a large scale. As the 

 rows can be planted more closely together, a crop nearly as 

 large can be gathered from the dwarf vines as from the^ tall 

 sorts, which require brush. Qt., 20c.; peck, $1.25. 



SUGAR PEAS.— Edible Pods. 



Dwarf Gray 'Susrar.— Vines of dwarf bush-like 

 growth, only fifteen inches in height, with purplish blos- 

 soms. Sugar Peas are not shelled like ordinary varieties, 

 but pods are gathered when the seed is partly developed 

 and used in same manner as string beans; they have a rich 

 sugary flavor. Qt., 30c. 



•'Mammoth Melting Sugar. — This is by far the 

 largest and finest of the true sugar or edible podded Peas. 

 The vines are of strong, vigorous growth, frequently four 

 to five feet in length, and the pods come rather late or about 

 the same time as the Telephone and Stratagem Peas. The 

 vines are very productive, of enormous pods and continue 

 bearing for a long time. Pods average five to six inches in 

 length and one and a half inches broad; thick and fleshy. 

 Broken and boiled like string beans and served with butter 

 sauce, they have a luscious flavor. Qt., .30c. 



Pumpkins. 



Kurbis. 



1 oz. to 15 hills; 4 per acre, in hills ten by ten feet apart. 



Pumpkins are grown largely both for cooking and for 

 stock feeding. They are frequently planted in corn fields, 

 seed being planted in hills with the corn when hoeing the 

 latter, and vines allowed to run when the corn is laid by. 

 To allow ample room in which to grow, seed should be 

 planted only in every fourth hill and every fourth row, or 

 even farther apart for the very strong-growing sorts. They 

 are grown also as a second crop on land after early peas, 

 etc. They are distinct from the Winter squashes in having 

 a thinner and more tender skin. They are more easily pre- 

 pared for use; as a rule have lighter colored flesh and do 

 not keep so long as the hard-shelled varieties of squashes. 

 Where grown as a separate crop, seed Should be planted in 

 hills eight feet or more apart each way when the weather 

 has become warm and the trees are out in full leaf. Hoe 

 frequently until well started, but do not disturb the vines 

 after they have well started to run. When leaves have been 

 cut down by early frosts the pumpkins should be gathered 

 and stored in a warm, dry place, which is out of danger of 

 freezing, but well ventilated. Cut them from the vine with 

 a portio:i of stem attached, and handle carefully to avoid 

 bruising; if bruised, they will not keep for any length of 

 time.
