After trying to grow Peas without any success, 
for quite a number of years, I thought I would 
try once more, so last spring I bought a pound of 
Giant Laxtonian from you and I have just finished 
picking the crop grown from those Peas. I was 
very well pleased-—so much so that I weighed 
them, and I found that I had grown 27 pounds of 
fine peas from the pound of seed so I will praise 
them up to everybody that plants peas especially.

YOUNG GARDEN-FRESH PEAS ARE LUSCIOUS, SWEET AND TENDER 
Sow 1 pound for 50 feet of drill; 2 to 3 bushels per acre. 
In order to have luscious, tender peas throughout 
the summer, even after hot weather sets in, plant all 
your peas early in spring, at the same time, using ex¬ 
tra early, main crop, and late sorts. Peas require cool, 
moist weather and early planting, to develop their 
roots and set the crop. They may be planted as soon 
as the ground can be worked, from April 1 to May 15, 
in this latitude. By planting such varieties as Extra 
Early Eight Weeks, Little Marvel, Thomas Laxton, 
Laxton’s Progress, Potlach and Quite Content, you 
can pick peas from your garden almost until fall. 
CULTURE —Garden Peas do best in light, rich soil, 
and are quite hardy, requiring fairly cool weather. 
The extra early varieties can be sown just as soon as 
the ground can be worked, early in April here. Sow 
in rows 24 to 26 inches apart, covering the seed about 
2 inches deep. The tall varieties should be supported 
with brush, or twine and light stakes.
