Garden Peas of Special Merit 
SELECTED FOR OUR CRITICAL TRADE 
Our list embraces the newest and highest types in Pea culture. 
Peas are different from all other vegetables—the seeds are large and only one stem grows from each seed. They do not 
tiller; the plant is not bushy. They must be planted close together—12 to 16 seeds to the foot. 
While a 1 O-cent packet of lettuce or radishes might suffice for the family garden and yield sufficient portions for numerous 
meals, a like amount of Peas will not. It requires 1 pound to plant 40 feet of row. Peas from a profitable crop to grow. Plant 
all you have room for. 
All varieties growing more than 1 Vz feet high do better if staked up or otherwise supported when 4 to 6 inches tall. This 
support is usually given by sharpened branches of trees set between the double rows. The crop should be gathered as fast as it 
is fit for use. Even though just a few pods begin to ripen, new pods will cease to form, and those partly advanced will stop 
growing.
