Do You Know 
This Secret? 
Do you know how to avoid the usual 
disappointment of a poor Pea crop 
after mid-July? It is easy to get big 
crops of luscious juicy Peas “falling 
right over one another,” in steady 
succession even up to late August— 
if you learn this secret: 
Instead of planting at 2- to 3- 
week intervals, get the following 
picked varieties and plant all at 
once in early spring, the moment the 
ground can he worked. This will 
allow a good root-system to develop 
before hot weather comes. The 
varieties will bear in the order 
shown below (and pictured opposite), 
beginning about June 20 and keeping 
up a steady succession of big mouth¬ 
watering crops until late August.

You may even prolong the season for another week or two by making a second planting of No. 6 (Heroine) 
about 2 to 3 weeks later, but not after May 10. All varieties except No. 3 grow fairly tall and require sup¬ 
port. We advise planting in double rows with a center support to which the vines of both rows can cling. 
Cover seed from 3 to 4 inches and allow a space of 3 feet between double rows of each variety.
