HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
PEAS— WRINKLED, MIDSEASON, AND LATE 
KINDS 
I N COMMON with the earlier kinds, the midseason and 
late varieties claim both sorts of dwarf and tall type. 
The leading tall midseason pea is Telephone. Of the 
many strains available ( Boston Unrivalled, Duke of Al- 
bany, and Alderman are all strains of it), Alderman is 
the most dependable. It grows about five feet tall, 
pods average four and a half inches long, containing eight 
large, dark green peas. The average yield for every 
fifteen-foot row is eight quarts, the first of which are 
generally ready eighty days after the seeds are sown. 
Quite Content is the largest podded sort growing on a 
five-foot vine. It is about a week later than Alderman. 
Potlach (upper two pods) is the heaviest yielder of the 
early maturing late sorts. Ready in eighty-five days. 
Dwarf Champion and Royal Salute (lower two pods) are 
both good quality sorts of still later maturity.
