“Euonymus Vegetus” 
The rarest and most beautiful ever- 
green climbing vine that bears red 
berries in fall and winter. It is en- 
tirely hardy and it will be the most 
popular of all climbing plants ever 
introduced. I have the true stock 
at low prices. Send for my list.

DeKalb Nurseries Norristown, Pa. 
we “stowed away” so many peas on the first day, 
June 7th, that we rested up a day before eating 
more. Pickings made on ihe 9th and 10th, as 
will be seen from the table, cleaned up the crop. 
By the 12th Gradus was ready, having matured in 
63 days. The last picking was on the 15th. The 
next day Little Marvel was on the job, after a 
growing period of 59 days, but the yield for some 
reason was the poorest of all the varieties sown. By 
the 1 8th it was a thing of the past. I expected 
Alderman to be next in order and have so placed 
it on the table, but it was not. British Wonder 
beat it out, maturing in about 64 days. We did 
not make our first picking of British Wonder until 
the 2 1st, making a three day gap from the last 
picking of Little Marvel; but we could have had 
it a day or two earlier had we chose. By that time- 
plenty of other “truck” was coming along and we 
believed a change would do us good. 
We made pickings of British Wonder on the 22d, 
23d, and 24th, then switched to Alderman which 
had matured in the meanwhile. This variety took 
68 days from seed sowing to harvest. On the 27th 
we had another mess of Alderman (sounds like 
politics!) and the last of British Wonder. The 
next day we were back after Alderman again. On 
the 29th, the day following, Potlach was ready. 
This bore well until July 5th, on which day we also 
made a quarter peck clean up of pods from the 
Alderman vines. 
You will find some gaps between pickings from 
perusal of both this article and the appended table, 
but this does not mean that we could not have had 
at least a few peas every day from June 7th to 
July 5th. It would have been easy had we chosen 
to use more moderation when picking. When we 
want peas, however, we want peas. While we 
frown on the practice of eating them with a knife, 
or trying to, we likewise discourage the fashion of 
serving them in old-fashioned butter dishes, small 
size. 
The yield per ten foot of row as shown by the 
accompanying table is not high. In fact, it is 
scandalously low. The year preceding I got about 
double the yield from all my early plantings.
