World’s Record—World’s Record is an English 
variety which has proved to be perfectly adapted to 
the Northwest. Our seed has been grown in this 
locality for several seasons, and is thoroughly accli¬ 
mated. The vines are semi-dwarf, growing about three 
feet high, and the yield, size and quality of the peas 
is wonderful considering its extreme earliness. The 
pods are large, dark green, of the Gradus type, and 
are filled with eight or ten large wrinkled peas, sweet 
and of fine flavor.

EDIBLE PODDED PEAS or SUGAR PEAS 
This class of peas is not generally known in this country, but is much used abroad. The sweet, brittle and 
succulent pods have none of the tough inner lining found in ordinary varieties of garden peas; they are used 
in the same way as snap or string beans, and are excellent also for pickles. 
MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR 
This is one of the best-known of all edible-podded peas. The vines grow luxuriantly and reach a height of 6 
to 7 feet. The pods are borne in great profusion all over the vine and they should be gathered when the seeds are 
just beginning to form. They are broken in pieces the same as string beans and make a delicious and palatable 
dish. Per pkt. 10c; Yt lb. 15c; lb. 30c, postpaid 
GIANT LUSCIOUS EDIBLE POD 
The pods, which are five to six inches long, are very fleshy, curved or scimitar shaped and of light green 
color. When young the pods are very tender and free from strings and when cooked are of superior quality and 
delicious flavor. The vines average about four feet high and are vigorous and productive.

PEANUT CULTURE 
As the Peanut is a tender, warmth-loving plant the seed should not be planted until the soil has become warm 
and the Maple trees are out in full leaf. They succeed best in light, easily worked soil but can be grown in heavy, 
well-drained ground if kept well cultivated. When planting remove the shells, planting the kernels in a place 
fifteen to twenty inches apart in the row. The cultivation is the same as for Bush Beans and the soil should be 
frequently hoed or cultivated to promote strong, rapid growth until the plants commence to flower. The flowers 
appear at the base of the stalk and when they appear loose earth should be hilled up around the stalks so that 
the nuts may bury themselves in the soil. When the foliage is touched by frost, lift or pull up the plants with 
the nuts attached and hang up to dry in a cool, airy room or shed. 
PEANUTS 
Jumbo (See illustration)—-The plants produce a large quan¬ 
tity of nuts, adapted for culture in our northern climate, 
especially in light or sandy soils.

Spanish—This is an excellent forage plant for light land in 
hot, dry seasons. The tops are cut and cured for hay just 
before frost. The plants also set a large crop of the small nuts, 
which make an excellent fattening food for hogs.
