POTLATCH OR BIG DINNER PEA 



The New Pea That all 

 Progressive Garden- 

 ers Should Try 



Potlatch is Chenook Indian name 

 for Big Dinner; hence the name 

 Potlatch. The vines are vigorous, 

 growing 20 to 24 inches high, 

 with unusually dark green foliage, 

 which can be distinguished from 

 that of other peas. The long pods 

 are a rich dark green in color, often 

 measuring 6 to 7 inches, with 9 to 

 10 enormous peas in a pod. The 

 growth of vine is sturdy and pods 

 are borne in pairs; it is a wonder in 

 productiveness, and the way the 

 peas shell out is remarkable. Pot- 

 latch matures early, being ready 

 for table use in 62 days on our 

 trial grounds; no variety known 

 will produce more pods, shell better, 

 or contain more tender and delicious 

 peas to the pod. Seed green, 

 wrinkled and very large in size. 

 The pea crop in 1911 was the short- 

 est in 40 years, and we consider 

 ourselves very fortunate in securing 

 a few bushels the past season, not- 

 withstanding, regret that we cannot 

 offer it in larger quantities than 4 

 quarts, and we expect to be sold 

 out early in the season. We advise 

 sending in orders as soon as 

 possible.
