HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
GARDEN PEAS 
Are Sweetest from Your Own Garden 
Peas are rich in sugar, which begins to turn to starch when they are picked; thus home gardeners 
alone can enjoy this crop at its best. It is said that the more wrinkles a pea has, the more sugar. 
Smooth seeded varieties are not so sweet and tender, but they can be planted earlier, as they resist rot 
in cold ground. 
Where hot dry summer weather cuts short the crop, the problem is to get the heavy yield, large size 
and sugar content of the late sorts into early yielding varieties which will bear a crop before the sum¬ 
mer’s drouth arrives. Our strains are constantly selected to improve these qualities. Quantity needed 
for 100 ft., 1 lb.
