EDIBLE PODDED PEAS or SUGAR PEAS 
This class of peas is not generally known in this country, but is much used abroad. The sweet, brittle and 
succulent pods have none of the tough inner lining found in ordinary varieties of garden peas; they are n^ed 
in the same way as snap or string beans, and are excellent also for pickles. ~ 
MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR 
This is one of the best-known of all edible-podded peas. The vines grow luxuriantly and reach a height of 6 
to 7 feet. The pods are borne in great profusion all over the vine and they should be gathered when the seeds are 
just beginning to form. They are broken in pieces the same as string beans and make a delicious and palatable 
dish. Per pkt. 10c; Yz lb. 15c; lb. 25c, postpaid 
GIANT LUSCIOUS EDIBLE POD 
The pods, which are five to six inches long, are very fleshy, curved or scimitar shaped and of light green 
color. When young the pods are very tender and free from strings and when cooked are of superior quality and 
delicious flavor. The vines average about four feet high and are vigorous and productive.

DWARF GRAY SUGAR 
Grows 18 inches high and produces a heavy crop of small flat pods, 3 inches long. The pods are gathered, 
broken and cooked like string beans when the peas begin to develop in the pod.

PEANUT CULTURE 
As the Peanut is a tender, warmth-loving plant the seed should not be planted until the soil has become warm and 
the Maple trees are out in full leaf. They succeed best in light, easily worked soil but can be grown in heavy, well- 
drained ground if kept well cultivated. When planting remove the shells, planting the kernels one in a place fifteen to 
twenty inches apart in the row. The cultivation is the same as for Bush Beans and the soil should be frequently hoed 
or cultivated to promote strong, rapid growth until the plants commence to flower. The flowers appear at the base of 
the stalk and when they appear loose earth should be hilled up around the stalks so that the nuts may bury themselves 
in the soil. When the fohage is touched by frost, lift or pull up the plants with the nuts attached and hang up to dry 
in a cool, airy room or shed. 
PEANUTS 
Jumbo (See illustration)—The plants produce a large quan¬ 
tity of nuts, adapted for culture in our northern climate, 
especially in light or sandy soils.

Spanish—This is an excellent forage plant for light land in 
hot, dry seasons. The tops are cut and cured for hay just 
before frost. The plants also set a large crop of the small nuts, 
which make an excellent fattening food for hogs.

PEPPER 
Peppers are used very extensively as a condiment. 
In Mexico the hot varieties are eaten raw as we would 
eat radishes, but the greatest use is for seasoning 
other dishes. The large, thick-fleshed, sweet varieties 
are eaten more extensively farther north and are 
served in various ways, green or ripe, with vinegar 
and salt, like tomato salad, or made into mangoes, by 
cutting one side, removing seeds and filling with 
chow chow pickles. 
The culture of peppers is the same as for egg plant 
and the plants need quite as much heat to perfect 
them. Guano, hen dung, or any other bird manure 
hoed into the surface soil when the plants are about 
six inches high, will wonderfully increase the product 
and also improve the quality of the fruit. 
Chinese Giant—This standard variety is larger than 
"Ruby King.” It is very prolific for so large a pepper. 
The productiveness may be increased by pinching off 
the first or "King blossoms.” The fruit grows 4 to 5 
inches broad on top and of equal length, and quite 
uniform in size; the flesh is unusually thick, mild 
flavor and makes a very fine salad sliced and served 
like tomatoes. The color is green turning to glossy 
scarlet when ripe. ..

Bell or Bull Nose—Do not confuse this with the 
Chinese Giant. It is similar in shape but scarcely more 
than half as large. It is much more prolific and a 
very desirable variety for the home garden.
