Clllt-lirfx l' ar fall 
VUIUlrc planting in 
Central South garden 
peas should be sown ear¬ 
ly in September, espe¬ 
cially the second early 
varieties. Extra early 
__ , sorts such as Alaska and 
John L. can be sown the 
latter part of the month and mature before frost. In 
Florida and along the Gulf Coast they may be sown 
during any of the fall months, October and November 
being preferable. Sow in drills, covering seed 2 to 3 
inches deep, according to soil. To avoid the necessity 
of sticking of brushing, plant the peas in double rows 
6 to 8 inches apart, and when the vines get large enough 
run them together. Most varieties of the earlies and 
second earlies are of sufficiently stiff growth to support 
each other and they can be handled in this manner with 
much less trouble. 
Hastings’ John L. (No. 316)— Our 
Famous Extra Early t “ r V f P ea S f either 
for market or home use. For 19 years it has held the record against the best 
strains of Extra Early peas sold by the prominent Northern houses, and 
during that time no pea has been introduced that equals it in earliness and 
productiveness in its class. The John. L. is the standard variety with South¬ 
ern gardeners both for shipping and home markets, and each year shows 
our sales of it increasing largely. The earliest time on record in this coun¬ 
try was made with the John L. by C. ,T. Montgomery, St. Augustine, Flor¬ 
ida, who planted one peck of John L. and on the 30th day from planting 
gathered one bushel of peas therefrom. Packet, 10 cents; % pint, 15 cents; 
pint, 25 cents; quart, 40c; postpaid. Peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.50; not prepaid. 
Alaska Extra Early (No. 317) best of all the round, extra 
early peas; it follows John L. in earliness, is the best in quality and the heaviest bearer of all 
the round, extra earlies. Seeds are of bluish shade, 
well rounded out and the fresh peas are almost equal 
to the wrinkled sorts in quality. A splendid shipper 
and one of the very best for home use. There are a 
great many peas being sold under the name of 
“Alaska” that are from run out stock or else not 
kept true to name; these dwarf varieties of garden 
peas have to be “rogued” very carefully every year 
to keep them true to type. This we do and when 
you buy Alaska from us you know exactly what you 
are getting. Packet, 10 cents; % pint, 15 cents; pint, 
25 cents; quart, 40 cents; postpaid. Peck, $1.25; 
bushel, $4.50; not prepaid.
