(333) SUGAR CROWDER PEAS—FOR TABLE USE 
One of the earliest to mature, one of the most pro'ific and best flavored for table Peas. Sugar Crowders have 
been in great demand for years but there has been no suitable supply in anywhere near the quantity demanded. 
We Started growing them in 1921 on the Hastings’ plantation, but with increased plantings each year we've never 
been able to supply the great demand for these fine Peas. However, we harvested a wonderful crop last fall and 
hope to meet the demand this year. 
Send your order in early for these delicious Peas. Pods are long, completely filled with as many as 21 crowded 
peas of sugary flavor and excellent quality. They make a large vine growth to use for forage and for a soil im¬ 
prover by plowing under the vines. They are the best of all field peas for eating purposes. Packet, 10c. Lb., 40c. 
2 Lbs-., 70c. 
(341) LADY PEAS. Lady or Gallavant Peas are about the smallest, sweetest flavored of all the field peas for 
table use. They make good vine growth and are exceptionally heavy bearing. They are used in both the green 
and dry stages and are very popular. Lady Peas shouldn’t be classed with cow or field peas because they are 
really table peas, mighty fine for your garden and table. Plant some this year. Hastings' Plantation Grown Seed.

(317) ALASKA PEA Seeds saved from a regular crop usually planted from 
ordinary seeds, saved and cleaned by ordinary methods, 
are cheap seeds and are sometimes sold cheap. Good 
seeds are produced from special selected stock, bred or selected from only 
the very finest, true to type plants for generation after generation. 
The fields are carefully rogued of off-type plants each year. They are harvested 
properly and cleaned and recleaned with the best cleaning machinery that 
money can buy. They are properly cured and stored until time for sale or 
planting. They are true to name, high in germinating power and vitality, prac¬ 
tically free of chaff, dirt, obnoxious weed seeds and other foreign matter. 
You likely know that Hastings’ Seeds are the Standard of the South, the 
best seeds you can buy, regardless of price. -Uso it is interesting to know 
that on the Hastings' Plantation and Trial G ounds and on the seed farms 
growing Hastings’ Seeds there are ‘‘breeding plots’’: hybridizing, individual 
plant and field selections going on each year to improve our strain of each 
variety. Getting a variety to yield more per plant or per acre, more uniform 
fruit, higher sugar content, thicker flesh, richer color, stronger root systems, 
stiller stems, larger pods, are some of the things you will find being bred into 
our strains. 
Every lot of our seeds is double tested for germination in our laboratory 
before being sold, samples are taken for outdoor trials to maturity on the 
Hastings’ Plantation. The new varieties are tried out there and also stocks 
from other seedsmen for comparison with Hastings’. Our object is to supply 
you with the best that grows and we intend to do it. 
It is both pleasure and satisfaction to know that you can depend faithfully 
on Hastings’ Seeds to produce as much as your soil and season will allow.
