HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
GARDEN PEAS 
Arc Sweetest from Your Own Garden 
Peas are rich in sugar, which begins to turn to starch 
when they are picked; thus home gardeners alone can enjoy 
this crop at its best. It is said that the more wrinkles a pea 
has, the more sugar. Smooth seeded varieties are not so sweet 
and tender, but they can be planted earlier, as they resist 
rot in cold ground. 
Where hot dry summer weather cuts short the crop, the 
problem is to get the heavy yield, large size and sugar con¬ 
tent of the late sorts into early yielding varieties which will 
bear a crop before the summer's drought arrives. Our strains 
are constantly selected to improve these qualities. Quantity 
needed for 100 ft., 1 lb.
