A FINE VARIETY OF PEAS 
AMERICAN DROUGHT-PROOF PEA 
Laughs at Drought-, Smiles at Rain 
American Drougrht'-Proof will do well under a wider range of weather and soil condi¬ 
tions than any other variety. It will grow a crop during the driest, hottest summer 
months, at a time any other variety would be a failure. In the hot, dry localities of 
the West t'his variety will grow a large crop without irrigation and without a single 
drop of rain falling upon it from seed time to harvest. For mid-summer or late 
summer planting this is the variety to plant. If it rains and the soil is kept moist 
this variety will produce as large a crop as any variety we know of; if it' doesn’t 
rain, and it gets hot and dry, you will get a crop anyway. The handsome round pods 
are well filled with from 7 to 10 peas in a pod; quality excellent, 
sweet and tender, even when the peas are large. Vines grow 
2 feet high, and require no support. This is the Pea that will 
do its best in the North, South, East or West. Don’t fail to 
give it a trial. Pkt. 10c — 7 oz. 25c—14 oz, 45c, Postpaid. 
LIMA PEAS 
Or Frost-Proof Bean 
The Lima Pea or Frost-Proof Bean is highly esteemed in 
Europe, and is known there as the Broad Bean. They are not 
sensitive to cold, so should be planted as early in the spring as 
possible. The beans are as large as the largest Lima, and 
nearly the same shape. The flavor is more like peas than 
beans. Used like the Lima Bean; delicious either cooked fresh 
or as a winter shell bean. Wonderfully productive.
