l-<^ £ ^1 • A desirable main crop sort 



Uwarr L.nanipiOn for the market or home gar- 

 den. The vines are of medium height, about two and 

 one -half to three feet, stout, vigorous and hardy, and 

 are unusually productive. The pods are large, often 

 four inches long, broad, quite straight, deep green in 

 color, handsome and very well filled with large peas 

 which are tender and unsurpassed in quality. Seed 

 large, light green, wrinkled. Dwarf Champion is sim- 

 ilar to Cliampion of England in pods only; the vine is 

 shorter and more sturdy. The stock of Dwai-f Cham- 

 pion is very superior and we believe it will meet the 

 requii-ements of the most critical trade. Pkt. 15c;

li/ff Ij.* c (Edible pods) We consider this 



Melting OUgar the best of the edible-podded sorts, 

 in which the pods are used when half grown and are 

 cooked in the same way as snap beans. The pods of 

 Melting Sugar are very large, four to fovu- and one-half 

 inches long, broad, often curved or twisted, and when 

 young, stringless, very tender and finely flavored. The 

 variety we offer, sometimes called JMammoth Melting 

 Sugar, is rather late maturing, very prolific, strong

 colored fohage. Seed medium to large smooth, round, 

 light yellowish white in color. Pkt. 15c; Lb. 75c.

 desirable for summer use but is not as sweet and ten-

FIELD PEAS 



Large White Marrowfat 



Field Peas deserve more attention for green-manur- 

 ing and for fodder than they now receive. Where planted 

 for green-manuring to add nitrogen to the soil, field 

 peas should be plowed under when in blossom. They will 

 grow on land that wil not produce clover. In the north 

 for dairy cows and for hogs, they are fully equal to 

 corn, and about six weeks earlier. For cows, the crop 

 should be cut and fed green. If intended for hogs alone, 

 they may be turned into the field as soon as the pods be- 

 gin'to ripen. 



The seed of field peas can be sown either alone or 

 with oats as early as the condition of the soil will permit. 

 If the stubble from green winter rye or other crops 

 cut in June be turned under and sown to mixed peas 

 and oats, it will furnish a large amount of forage in 

 August when grass pasture is usually short.
