Laughs at Drought, Smiles at Rain 
Burgess’ Drought-Proof will do well under a wider range of weather and soil condi¬ 
tions than any other variety. It will grow a crop during the driest, hottest summer 
months, at a time any other variety would be a failure. In the hot, dry localities of 
the West this variety will grow a large crop without irrigation and without a single drop 
of rain falling upon it from seed time to harvest. For mid-summer or late summer 
planting this is the variety to plant. If it rains and the soil is kept moist this variety 
will produce as large a crop as any variety we know of; if it doesn’t rain, and it gets 
hot and dry, you will get a crop anyway. The handsome round pods are well filled 
with from 7 to 10 peas in a pod; quality excellent, sweet and tender, even when the 
peas are large. Vines grow 2 feet high, and require no support. This pea is resistant 
to Fusarium Wilt and will do its best in the North, South, East or West. Don’t fail to 
give it a trial. Pkt., 10c; y 2 pt., 20c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c; 2 qts., $1.10, postpaid. By 
express, not prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.60; 25 lbs., $3.75; 100 lbs., $14.00. 
Large White Marrowfat or Baking Pea 
This is an old variety which many people prefer to varieties that are sweeter. Used 
extensively for green peas, and the dried peas make a most palatable dish when prepared 
the same as baked beans. If you have never tried baking dried Marrowfat Peas, plant some 
of this variety this year and give them a trial. You will be delighted with them. This 
variety is also used for sowing with oats for feeding stock. It is of strong growing habits, 
vines about 4 y 2 feet high, and bears prolifically. Pods 3 inches long, containing 5 to 6 
large white Peas. Pkt., 10c; y 2 pt., 18c; pt., 32c; qt., 53c; 2 qts., 95c, postpaid. By ex¬
