PEAS 
Garden Peas 
German—Erbsen. Spanish—Gulsante. 
Italian—Pisello. 
Culture: There are two different kinds of pea seed, the 
smooth and the wrinkled. Smooth peas are the earliest 
but not the sweetest, and stand the cold weather much 
better than the wrinkled varieties and they may be planted 
much earlier or as soon as the ground can be worked, but 
the wrinkled varieties should not be planted until it is 
warmer or they may decay in the ground. Sow in single 
or double rows from l x / 2 to 3 feet apart. Growing peas 
in the mountains is very profitable as they are better and 
ready for market at a time when few other sections can 
produce them. 
Alaska. 60 days. Used by market gardeners for a first 
early variety. Vines slender, light green, 30 inches high. 
Pods single, 3 inehes long, blunt, light green, round, 
straight. Contain 6 to 8 peas of fair quality. Seeds 
small, round, smooth, bluish green. Crop matures evenly. 
Can be planted very early. 
American Wonder. 61 days. Used for home garden and 
very productive. Vines, 12- to 14 inches high, dark green, 
fairly coarse. Pods 2% inches long, single and double, 
light green, blunt, straight, and well filled with 6 peas. 
Laxtonian. 63 days. A very popular and extensively used 
early, large podded, dwarf, wrinkled variety. The dark 
green vines are vigorous and productive, averaging 18 
inches in height and when bearing are filled with im¬ 
mense dark green pods 4 to 4% inches long, straight and 
pointed. On account of its earliness, productiveness 
and large dark green pods, is being grown extensively 
by market gardeners and for home gardens. 
Little Marvel. 64 days. A very early, extra fine variety, 
especially recommended for home gardens as it is the 
sweetest and best flavored of all peas, but we recommend 
it only for a second early crop. The larger podded 
varieties are best for main crop. Foliage and pods very 
dark. Pods 3 inches long. 
Thomas Laxton. 63 days. Very similar to the Gradus ex¬ 
cept for pods. 
Gradus or Prosperity. 65 days. An early wrinkled variety. 
The vines are very vigorous and robust, growing to a 
height of about 3 x / 2 feet. It is not only an abundant 
producer, but bears continually through the season. The 
pods are 4 inches long. 
Laxton's Progress. 65 days. The largest podded and most 
attractive of the Laxtonian family. Popular for ship¬ 
ping to distant markets, also for home and market gar¬ 
den planting. Vines medium dark green. Pods single, 
4 y 2 inches long, dark green, somewhat curved, pointed, 
handsome; contain 7 to 9 large peas of good quality. 
Dark Dwarf Telephone. 75 days. This variety was devel¬ 
oped from the Improved Stratagem and Dwarf Defiance. 
Pods are very dark; little longer than the Stratagem, 
4% inches. Also heavier yielder as the vines are dwarf, 
sturdy and have heavier stems. 
Asgrow No. 40. 75 days. Resembles Stratagem but 4 to 
5 days earlier. Bred particularly for shippers and 
market gardeners. Vines dark green, stocky and branch¬ 
ing. Pods form single and double. 5 to 6 inches long, 
round, dark green, plump, pointed; contain 8 to 10 large 
peas. 
Rogers No. 95 or leer. 76 days. This is a new variety 
bred especially for its large, dark pods and vigorous 
vines. Pods 4 x / 2 to 5 inches. We especially recommend 
this variety for large growers who produce peas for 
shipping to eastern markets. 
Alderman. 77 days. A handsome, large podded variety. 
Vines dark green, coarse, 3 x / 2 feet tall. Pods 4% to 5 
inches, very broad, plump, straight, dark green, pointed; 
contain 8 to 10 peas of highest quality. 
Dwarf Telephone. 77 days. A very sturdy grower, vines 
dwarf and a heavy yielder. Very desirable for main 
crop. Pods rather light in color, measuring 4 to 5 inches 
in length. 
Dwarf Alderman. (Rogers.) 77 days. One of the best 
main crop commercial varieties. As the name implies, 
this pea is very similar to the Alderman as to color, size, 
shape of pods, etc., except that the vines grow 20 to 24 
inches in length instead of 40 to 44 inches. Is a heavier 
yielder. Highly recommended as a shipping variety. 
Improved Stratagem. (Gold Seal Quality.) 78 days. Very 
popular in the mountains and it is a very hardy and a 
very heavy yielder, of fine well-filled pods which meas¬ 
ure about ±y 2 inches long. Vines are dwarf, grow 2 x / 2 
to 3 feet high. 
Everbearing Peas. 78 days. Grows about 36 inches high; 
pods about 3 inches long, of very fine quality. A con¬ 
stant bearer and produces an abundance of pods. 
Mammoth Edible Pod or Luscious Sugar. 78 days. With¬ 
out an equal for sweetness and tenderness, it is a double 
purpose pea. The pods when half grown can be cooked 
the same way as snap beans, or it can be used as a shell 
pea, and is equal to the sweetest wrinkled variety.
