Home arrown peas are 
delicious. They thrive 
in any good garden 
soil. Peas like a mod¬ 
erate temperature and plenty of moisture. Start them early 
for June peas, and again in August for the fall. One half 
pound for 50 ft. of row. A packet for 8 or 9 feet of row. 
Mammoth Melting Sugar

riety are cooked with

a very high sugar con¬ 
tent, are very tender 
and stringless, mak¬

the menu. Pods are 4
