LANDRETHS’ PEAS ARE CAREFULLY BRED AT OUR WESTERN STATIONS 
63 
PEAS 
Peas probably originated in Asia from the Caucasus to Persia. Four Pounds of Seed Will Sow 
100 Yards of Row. 120 to 180 Pounds Will Sow an Acre, depending whether in rows or broadcast. 
Breaks ground in 7 days. One inch high in 10 days under most favorable circumstances in 
greenhouse. 
Peas are among the first seeds that can be sown at close of Winter. Tlie round seed('d sorts, as tliey are 
hardier, frequently are sown before sharp frosts are fully over. The drilling of Peas may be safely com¬ 
menced before the Peach is in bloom or as soon as the land can be plowed, and continued at intervals up to 
within seventy days of Autumn frost, for the early kinds, or eighty days for the intermediate varieties, or 
eighty-five days for the late sorts. Late-sown Peas are never as productive as those sown in the Si)ring, 
and often are subject to mildew. Wrinkled varieties are most susceptible to cold or wet weather; therefore, 
cannot be planted as early. Landreths’ Extra Early and Ameer will be found to be the best for August aiul 
September sowings, because of their early ripening habit and their ability to resist mildew. The dwarf 
varieties may be drilled at 30 inch rows if cultivated by horse power, or 20 inches if to be hoed b}^ hand. 
The varieties of medium length should be drilled no closer than 3 feet, and the tall growing sorts at 4 feet 
apart. The number of Peas in a row may vary from 24 to the foot, in the case of the very dwarf kinds, and 
18 to the foot of the medium tall varieties, and 15 to the foot of the very tall kinds. Yield of Green Pods 
is 100 to 300 bushels per acre, depending on cultivation and weather conditions. 
This Company believes that the best smooth Peas for early planting arc Landreths’ Extra Early, 
Ameer, Alaska, Laxton’s Superb. For later planting. World’s Record, Thomas T^axton, and Laxtonian types. 
For late planting Alderman, and Prince Edward, which is the best type of late Telephone. No garden 
should be without Peas. We, ourselves, prefer Ijandreths’ Extra Earlies, Alaskas, Ameer, oi- Bountiful to 
any Peas we can plant in our home garden, when picked early. We think they aie the b('st flavored, and do 
not produce hulls like the skin of a grape as do all the monstrous Peas, and they are much more j)alatable.
