PEAS 
A pound of seed will sow 100 feel of row. Two to four bushels per acre. 
Note: A pound is about a pint and 15 lbs. equals a peck; half bushels or more of one variety are sold 
at the bushel price. If your order including peas amounts to $20 or more, we will pay transportation on 
peas in quantities listed “not paid.” See inside front cover. 
Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable that we know of than fresh, young green peas picked right 
off the vines in your garden and cooked immediately. If the garden is small, sow all the land you 
can spare. When you are eating and enjoying luscious green peas from your own garden you 
will not regret the space they take. After the peas are gone the land can be used for late cabbage, 
turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same time so they will mature in succession. 
This is better than to sow one kind three or four times during the season. 
Early Varieties 
THOMAS LAXTON. (3 ft.) One of the most popular early peas for both home and 
market gardeners. The vines are very productive of large pods (2)4 to 3)4 inches long) 
of the finest quality. Season same as Gradus, matures right after the first early kinds.

WORLD’S RECORD. (2 )4 ft.) This is the earliest wrinkled pea with large 
—pods maturing a few days later than Mammoth 
Podded Extra Early. It is really an improved Gradus. We recommend this variety 
most highly. The pods are 3)4 to 4 in. long and filled with large peas which are very 
tender and sweet. The sturdy vines bear heavily.

LAXTON'S PROGRESS. (18 in.) This is the largest and we consider it 
- - the best of the medium early dwarf varieties. 
The pods resemble Hundredfold very closely but are a little larger and mature a day 
or two earlier. The vines are 15 to 18 in. high and the pods 4 to 4)4 in. long, deep 
green and well filled with dark green peas of high quality. This variety should be 
included in every home and commercial planting.

or four days later than the earliest kinds like Alaska and First and Best, has much 
larger pods, and is of much better quality. The pods are 3 to 3)4 in. long and are 
filled with large peas which are very sweet and tender.

MAMMOTH PODDED EXTRA EARLY. T h f E *V a 
_—- Early Variety. (3 ft.) 
This fine variety is almost as early as Alaska with much larger pods. The peas are semi- 
wrinkled and can be sown very early without danger of rotting. The pods are as 
large as Gradus but are not as good quality and mature a few days earlier. This has 
proved the most profitable market variety.

LITTLE MARVEL. (15 in.) This pea is certainly rightly named and is one of the 
-1 best and most popular kinds for the home gardener. It is

between Gradus and Hundredfold. They stand longer than most kinds without becom¬ 
ing tough and tasteless.

USE GYPSUM 
Many people find that after they have raised peas a few years in their garden, the vines begin to turn 
yellow and die. This is caused by a disease known as Root Rot. II has been found that ordinary gypsum 
will control this trouble. Simply spread it broadcast over the ground just before you sow the seed and rake 
it in. Use it at the rale of 1 lb. to three square yards. Most dealers of building supplies sell gypsum. If you 
cannot obtain it locally, we can supply. See back pages of catalogue.
