paired, wide, nearly round, straight, pointed, dark green. Con¬ 
tain 8 to 10 tender Peas.

20 inches high, pods large of fine color that stands long dis¬ 
tance shipping well and are well filled with large peas of fin¬

2 feet apart, and thin plants out to 1 foot apart in the row. 
The ground should be deeply trenched and well manured. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb. 60c. 
Hollow Crown, Thick Shoulder. This is the best and most 
popular variety in cultivation. The skin is smooth and white, 
while the flesh is tender. The roots grow 18 to 20 inches in 
length, but the first 8 inches from the top is the best part.

gradually tapering downward. The skin is light in color and 
quite smooth. The flesh is fine grained, tender, and sweet. A 
productive variety, considered the best for table use. 
PEAS 
PEPPER 
54 oz. to 100 ft., 1 to 2 lbs. per acre. 
Culture and soil and temperature requirements are about 
the same as for Eggplant. A moderate dressing of Guano, 
poultry manure, or complete commercial fertilizer, hoed into 
the soil after the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall, will be very 
beneficial. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 60c; 54 lb. $1.75. 
154 lbs. to 100 ft., 90 to 180 lbs. per acre. 
CtTLTURE. In a thermal zone plant peas from September 
1st to February 1st, and in lowland from January 1st to Sep¬ 
tember 1st. In summer months, from May to September plant 
1 54 inches deep in heavy soil and more deeply in sandy soil. 
From December to April plant not more than 1 inch deep. 
The object of this is to have the seed deep enough to lie in 
moist earth, and shallow enough to get warmth from the sun. 
Never irrigate after planting peas until they come up. Irrigate 
before planting, but do not plant until the soil is tillable. 
Peas will rot in soil that is too wet, especially during the 
winter months. They will stand a great deal of frost and cold 
weather until they bloom, but after they bloom a heavy frost 
will destroy the pods, and if cool enough will kill the vines. 
Many planters sow 100 pounds of seed per acre, but 60 pounds 
of seed per acre drilled in rows and well cultivated will pro¬ 
duce larger pods and more peas per acre; besides there will be 
less mildew. Put the rows north and south for winter planting 
to give them as much sun as possible. 
At the first appearance of mildew, spray with the best 
sulphur obtainable, and do the spraying in the morning. If 
your soil is sandy it would be well to inoculate the seed with 
Nitrogen Producing Bacteria. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50. 
Alderman. Similar to Tall Telephone. The vine is extra vigor¬ 
ous and the pods are dark green and always well filled with 
fine large peas. It is the very finest and best pea of this class. 
Dwarf Telephone. Only about 2 feet tall. Resembles Tele 
phone, and the pods are well filled with Peas of the same 
good quality. It is an excellent variety to follow the early 
Peas in the home garden. Seeds large, wrinkled, green. 
Hundredfold. Is a recognized leader among the early dwarf 
varieties used very largely by market growers and shippers 
throughout the country, and given first place by many of the 
large shippers. Grows 18 inches to 20 inches high, dark green 
foliage, pods heavy with a dark green straight well filled 
pod of finest quality. Whether you plant a few rows in your 
garden or a large acreage you will find this one of the best. 
Anaheim Chili. This is the chili so well known locally. One of 
the most profitable crops for the gardener. Bears pods from 
6 to 9 inches long in great profusion. 
California Wonder. Thickness of flesh alone, which is often 
% of an inch, places this sweet Pepper above all others. It is 
crisp and juicy, too, without a trace of pungency. Vigorous 
growing plants bear a heavy yield of blocky fruits that become 
as much as 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. 
Floral Gem. This beautiful yellow pepper became popular 
several years ago. It is 1% to 3 inches long, delightfully 
pungent with a flavor quite distinct from other peppers and 
commands an independent price. The suply has not yet 
caught up with the ever-increasing demand. This pepper turns 
from green to a beautiful waxy yellow. When mature it is 
red. It is marketed when yellow. 
Perfection Pimiento. A splendid canning variety, adapted to 
home and market garden culture. Plants large, erect, prolific. 
Fruits heart shaped, very smooth; flesh exceptionally thick, 
sweet and mild.
