Second Early and Heavy Bearers 
UirnnKnnninn Heightof vines, 18 inches to 2 feet. Pods J to 4 Inches long, each 
r VHI llrtll lllll PO'i containing 6 to 8 wrinkled peas. Size of Peas very large, fre- 
I Ui uuui iiiy quently half an inch in diameter; quality very line. Its habit of 
growth is of peculiar branching character, forming as many as ten stalks from a single root stalk. 
The individual branches are of extraordinary strength and substance, so that when hilled up 
properly they stand up well without brushing. For continuance of bearing this variety is notable— 
a characteristic which gives it especial value for late spring and summer use. After repeated 
pickings the vines continue to be covered with blossoms and buds developing to maturity in turn. 
The quality is the best of any pea known. A variety thatshould be in every garden. Packet, 10 cts.; 
pint, 20 ctB.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts.; peck, S2.25; bushel, §8.00. 
M Pea Crops Exceedingly Short 
We have been in the seed bnsiness nearly 21 years and never in 
that time have we seen seed crops of peas so small as in 1910. The 
hot, dry weather following immediately cool rainy weather was fear¬ 
fully disastrous. The extra early varieties like John L. came through 
quick and made just about half a crop, but varieties like Bliss’ Over¬ 
hearing, Home Delight and other second early and late varieties caught 
the full effect of the heat and drought just at the most critical time and 
the general average of these varieties seems to have been about 1-6 of 
a normal seed crop. Naturally this means much higher prices, but it 
can’t be helped. 
Bliss’ Everbearing Peas 
Hastings* Home Helight Peas 
Hastings* Mammoth Podded Pea 
This pea is the mammoth of the pea family in size of pod in addition to being a heavy 
bearer of peas of the most delicious flavor. It grows when staked or bushed from 3 to 4 feet 
high, but can be grown in double rows like Bliss' Everbearing if desired, although the yield 
will not be as heavy as when “brushed” up. Foliage, pod and vine are of rich dark green 
color, showing vigor and rapid healthy growth. Our illustration shows the exact size of 
the averaiie pods, both in length and breadth. The pods are closely crowded with large 
peas of very fine flavor. In maturity this comes in just about the same as Telephone, mak¬ 
ing it a splendid variety to follow such varieties as Everbearing and Home Delight. Its 
heavy cropping qualities and delicious flavor will make it a favorite wherever planted.

Hastings’ Home Delight Peas 
This splendid variety has been planted by many thousands of our 
customers in the past years with the most satisfactory results. It is by far 
the best and earliest bearer of all the heavy croppers. It’s a strong, vigor¬ 
ous grower, coming in right after the extra early varieties, and while it is 
enormously productive, still it Is of such stiif, stalky growth that it can 
be easily and satisfactorily grown without brushing when planted in 
double rows 6 to 8 Inches apart and the rows run together as soon as they 
are high enough. In sweetness and tenderness it is unsurpassed by any 
other variety. Pkt., 10c.; ^pt., 20c.; pt.,30c.; qt., 50c.; postpaid. Peck,

When the Boll Weevil Gets You 
How will you be fixed ? We have for the last five years made 8 close study of Mr. Boll Weevil. He Is no joke nor is he to be treated with con¬ 
tempt. He Is going to be in every cotton growing State in a very few years. He has covered Texas and Louisiana, the crop in Louisiana having 
been reduced from 955,000 bales in 1906 to 275,000 bales in 1909. He is well over Mississippi, and in 1910 he Invaded the southwestern part of 
Alabama. He is marching steadily eastward every year. He Is about as sure to come as death and taxes and like them he must be met. Those of 
our customers In sections already infested know exactly how destructive he is unless you are fixed to meet him. If you are doing good farming 
grow plenty of grain, corn and hay; have a good big family garden and plant Hastini^s* varieties of cotton bred and grown to makea crop quick, 
before the weevil can destroy it, you are safe. The time to beat the weevil is right now. Don’t wait until he is in your crop. If you do the boll 
weevil will get you sure enough. We are talking here especially to the people of Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. Don’t wait until the 
weevil has destroyed a cotton crop or two for you as did the people of the States further west in the past. Get varieties of cotton now that will 
make crops before weevil can destroy them. Then you will be safe when the weevil does come to your farm as he surely will. Don t tool yourself 
Into believing that he won’t i each your farm. He is coming just ss sure as the sun rises tomorrow. Get ready.
