PEAS 
Garden Peas 
German—Erbsen 
Italian—Piscllo 
Spanish—Gulsante 
Culture: There are two different kinds of pea seed, the 
smooth and the wrinkled. Smooth peas are the earliest but 
not the sweetest, and stand the cold weather much better than 
the wrinkled varieties and they may be planted much earlier 
or as soon as the ground can be worked, but the wrinkled 
varieties should not be planted until it is warmer or they may 
decay in the ground. Sow in single or double rows from V /2 
to 3 feet apart. Growing peas in the mountains is very profit' 
able as they are better and ready for market at a time when 
few other sections can produce them. 
Alaska. 60 days. Used by market gardeners for a first early 
variety. Vines slender, light green, 30 inches high. Pods 
single, 3 inches long, blunt, light green, round, straight, 
contain 6 to 8 peas of fair quality. Seeds small, round, 
smooth, bluish green. Crop matures evenly. Our strain is 
the first pure line, pedigreed stock of this variety ever de' 
veloped, is noted for its pod size and productivity.

very productive. Vines, 12 to 14 inches high, dark green, 
fairly coarse. Pods 2% inches long, single and double, light 
green, blunt, straight, and well filled with 6 peas. Seeds

wrinkled sweet pea for home garden. Vines 18 inches high, 
strong, sturdy. Foliage and pods very dark, 6 to 8 very 
dark green peas of high quality. This extra early fine pea 
has superseded American Wonder, Nott’s Excelsior and 
such varieties and is really the best of its class. 
Thomas Laxton. 63 days. Very similar to the Gradus ex¬ 
cept for pods.

dark green vines are vigorous and productive, averaging 
18 inches in height and when bearing are filled with im¬ 
mense dark green pods 4 to 4j/^ inches long, straight and 
pointed. On account of its earliness, productiveness and 
large dark green pods, is being grown extensively by market 
gardeners. Is one of the best for home gardens. 
Dark Dwarf Telephone. 75 days. This variety was devel¬ 
oped from the Improved Stratagem and Dwarf Defiance.

deners. Vines dark green, stocky and branching. Pods form

bred especially for its large, dark pods and vigorous vines. 
It grows about 2 feet tall. Vines are coarse, of light green 
color, but the pods are dark, usually 4 I /2 to 5 inches in

pods about 2/i inches long, of very fine quality. A constant 
bearer and produces an abundance of pods. 
Mammoth Edible Pod or Luscious Sugar. 78 days. 
Without an equal for sweetness and tenderness, it is a double 
purpose pea. The pods when half grown can be cooked the

and is equal to the sweetest wrinkled variety. They are 
grown the same as any other variety of pea.
