Peas Smooth seeded types 
506 Maule’s Radio 
(58 days) Plants are exceptionally vigorous and pro- 
ductive, with crops generally heavier than it seems’ 
possible for so early a variety. Vines grow from 12 to 
15 in. tall and are loaded with medium-sized pods 
which, on the average, contain 6 large, round, bright 
green peas. The flavor is good. The dried seed is not 
perfectly round, but distinctly dimpled and slightly 
wrinkled. Maule imported this variety from England 
in 1924, Pkt. 10¢; 14 Ib. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 80¢; 
5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00 
488 Maule’s Earliest of All (Alaska) 
The earliest and hardiest of all garden peas (54 days) . 
The main reliance of thousands of truckers and gardeners who wish to be first in market with 
new peas. Popular with canners because of the uniformity of maturity. Vines grow about 
30 in. tall and produce in about 54 days a wonderful crop of medium-sized pods filled with 
small, round green peas of excellent flavor. Unsurpassed for extra early production combined 
with flavor, size of pod, prolificness, vigor and regularity of growth. Gardeners who are unable 
to raise any other peas because of heat or drouth find that Earliest of All solves their problem 
by maturing before hot weather comes. The later, wrinkled varieties may be expected to be 
sweeter, and under good growing conditions much higher yielding. But peas are a cool weather 
crop, and where the weather changes rapidly from cool spring to hot summer, Earliest of All 
gives the best crop insurance. Pkt. 10¢; 1% Ib. 20¢; Ib. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 65¢; 5 Ibs. $1.55; 10 Ibs. $2.80 
500 Mammoth Podded 
Extra-Early 
(56 days) Relatively new and a lusty competitor in 
the earliest group, this variety tells its story in its title. 
In some areas it has proved to be even earlier than 
Earliest of All. The oversize 4 in. blunt pods and the 
30 to 36 in. vines would be found, normally, ina much 
later group. Round-seeded, but tender and good 
quality. Pkt. 10¢; 14 1b. 25¢; Ib. 45¢; 2 Ibs. 80¢; 
5 Ibs. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $3.00

ready familiar with the advantages of planting more 
than one variety, as suggested in the Planting Guide, 
Maule assembles this collection. By planting the four 
varieties listed here, you provide for a longer pro- 
ducing season and a surer crop. 
Planting Guide for 7tll Peas 
Almost as important as the variety you plant is the speed 
you exercise in getting your peas from the garden to the table. 
Pick the pods when they're young and just before you're 
ready to serve them. The sweetest peas are the wrinkled- 
seeded varieties, but the earliest and hardiest are smooth- 
seeded. Both types should be planted as early as possible in 
the spring. In order to have peas over a considerable period, 
plant a group such as the collection offered above. Then, at 
10-day intervals until the 10th of May, continue to plant seed 
of each of those varieties. Sow again during August for a fall 
crop. Space the rows 2 to 2% ft. apart for dwarf varieties; 
2% to 3 ft. apart for tall varieties. Cover the seed 1 to 2 in. 
deep. A packet will sow about 20 ft. of row; a pound 100 ft. 
Varieties growing more than 2 ft. tall do better if staked up 
or otherwise supported. 
Edible Podded Peas 
When pods are young and peas are beginning to form, they 
are prepared and cooked like snap beans. They taste like 
fresh green peas. After the young pods have developed they 
may be shelled and cooked like other peas. 
508 Giant Butter % 
(72 days) An entirely different type of edible podded pea, possessing 
the tenderness and fleshy qualities of a snap bean. The curved, semi- 
round pods are 6 to 7 in. long, very meaty and free from fiber or 
toughness. The pod is edible until the peas are fully formed and can 
therefore be used at almost any stage of growth. Vines are sturdy and 
grow from 4 to 5 ft. tall. Wrinkled cream and green colored seeds; 
white flowers. Support of string or brush should be provided.

524 Maule’s Giant Sugar-Pod 
(70 days) Vines are well branched and make a vigorous growth about 
3% ft. tall; they carry an immense crop of large, flat, bright green 
paired pods 6 in. long and about 1% in. broad. They are of the most 
luscious flavor. The quality of the pods is at its peak just as the 
peas begin to form. Grayish brown seed; purple flowers.
