WINTER PEAS—STANDARD LIST 
The question of varieties in Winter Peas or any other crop we grow is very important. Varying growing conditions and markets 
explain why this is so, and it pays well to give it attention, especially if you grow for market, in which case you will want to stay close 
to the best standard colors. Their value is generally in the order named: Pink, lavender, white, and blue. While our list of the 12 Best 
Varieties we feel should be largely depended upon, other varieties find favor, explaining the need of an extended list. 
IN SOWING SEED 
Three years ago we introduced the treatment of seed with Cuprocide or red oxide to protect it from rotting after sowing. This has 
proved generally successful, clearly demonstrating that when Pea seed rots after sowing it does not at all prove it old or dead. When 
greenhouse soil is protected from the cleansing effect of outdoor elements, rot accumulates, explaining why seed sometimes rots or seed¬ 
lings damp off. If clean soil and our Cuprocide treated seed are used, little rot will develop. Another precaution, especially in hot 
weather, is avoid sowing in or maintaining soil wet. Sow in fairly moist soil and don’t add a drop of water until after seedlings are up. 
This procedure is necessary with white-seeded varieties and should be used with black-seeded kinds as well.

LATE or SUMMER PEAS 
In many sections, particularly south of the Ohio River, the late class is sown outdoors late in fall. In well-drained soil and with 
some covering they winter over and have a fine start for a June crop. This class is also sometimes sown with indoor Earlies started 
late or after ’Mums. The Lates do not climb up with the Earlies, branching freely until the Earlies begin to give out after which the
