"Roguing" a Crop of Laxton's Progress Peas on One of Our California Ranches 



Experienced men under expert leaders are employed at this work. 



PEAS 



Peas are planted the latter part of April near Detroit. The earUer varieties always produce 

 peas fit for table about the middle of June or soon after. We have indicated for each variety the 

 average number of days required to produce peas for table use, based on many years of observation. 

 Very often peas are gathered several days earlier than indicated here, but the average is more 

 indicative of their behavior under ordinarv circumstances.
