IMPROVED STRATAGEM S.^I^/Sf.^l.lTSe'Sero? 



peas have been so wanting? in uniformity and evenness of type as to 

 disgust American planters, but by constant effort we have developed 

 a stock of this, the best variety of that class, which comes true and 

 we do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the best of the large podded 

 sorts. The pods are of largest size and uniformly filled with very 

 large, dark green peas of tlie finest quality. One of the very best 

 wrinkled varieties for market gardeners. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 2oc; Qt. 36c;

and bearing at the top, generally in pairs, a good crop of large, 

 dark green pods well filled with large peas of good flavor. We 

 have given this variety special attention, and the stock we offer is so 

 much superior to that connnonly sold as to seem a different sort. 

 "We recommend it as one of the best of the large podded varieties.

 L^1^VJL./-%1\L/ one of the richest and 

 best flavored peas. Height four to five

IVI F I Tl Wn <5[I ir*. A I? There is a class of peas little 

 ITIL.1^1 \\^\x »3U\JMI\ known in this country, but 

 much used abroad, in which the large, sweet, brittle 

 and succulent pods have none of the tough, inner lining 

 found in the ordinary varieties of garden peas; they 

 are used in the same way as snap or string beans. 

 The best of these edible podded sorts is the Melting 

 Sugar, and our strain is exceptionally fine. The pods 

 are very large, extremely tender, fine flavored, and 

 are borne in great abundance on vines four to five feet, 

 high. Crop failed. 



IT ¥ IT ¥ T^ p Ip A ^ Field Peas deserve more general attention for fodder than they now receive. In the north 

 *- **-^*-^H-^ * mLar^\j 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. For hogs alone it can be used as pasturage. 



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. 



As fertilizer, field peas should be plowed under when in blossom. They will grow on land that will not produce clover.
