The Stratagem has been a favorite among mar- 
Oiraiagem k e t gardeners and it is just as good for the 
home garden as it is for larger acreages. The pods are a dark 
green color and remain firm several days after picking. It is a 
strong grower, very prolific, the pods are of good size and are 
always well filled. The vines usually stand upright, to a height 
of about 2 feet on good soil and they are very productive. 
The dark green color of the pod makes it a good seller in all 
markets and in addition to this the grower is usually rewarded 
with a good yield. 83 days. (Pkt. 5c) (Jumbo Pkt. 15c) ([/ 2 lb.

fulfill-^ Peas are very susceptible to soil and cli- 
VUllure mate. Within the radius of a few miles of 
Los Angeles and in one locality or another, peas may be 
grown every month of the year. 
In a thermal zone plant peas from September 1st to 
February 1st, and in lowlands from January 1st to Sep¬ 
tember ist. In summer months, from May to September, 
plant two inches deep in heavy soil and deeper in sandy 
soil. From December to April plant not more than one 
inch deep. The object of this is to have the seed deep 
enough to lie in the moist earth, and shallow enough to 
get warmth from the sun. Never irrigate after planting 
peas until they come up. Irrigate before planting, but 
do not plant until the soil is tillable. , 
Peas will rot in soil that is too wet, especially during 
the winter months. They will stand a great deal of frost 
and cold weather until they bloom, but after they bloom a 
heavy frost will destroy the pods, and if cold enough, will 
kill the vines. Many planters sow one hundred pounds 
of seed per acre, but fifty pounds of seed per acre drilled 
in rows and well cultivated will produce larger pods and 
more peas per acre; besides, there will be less mildew. 
If mildew appears, dust with sulphur. Put the rows north 
and south for winter planting to give them as much sun 
as possible. Drill in rows 2-2% feet apart. For the home 
garden 1 lb. will plant 150 feet. 
All varieties listed are suitable for spring but the fol¬ 
lowing are best adapted for planting in the fall in Cali¬
