PEAS 
A pound of seed will sow 100 feet of roiv. Two to four bushels per acre. 
Piselli (It.) 
Note: A pound is about a pint and 15 lbs. equals a peck; half bushels or more of one 
variety are sold at the bushel price. If your order including peas amounts to $20 or more, 
we will pay transportation on peas in quantities listed “not paid." See inside front cover. 
Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable that we know of than fresh, young green peas 
picked right olf the vines in your garden and cooked immediately. If the garden is 
small, sow all the land you can spare. When you are eating and enjoying luscious 
green peas from your own garden you will not regret the space they take. After the 
peas are gone the land can be used for late cabbage, turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same time so they will mature 
in succession. This is better than to sow one kind three or four times during the 
season. 
USE GYPSUM 
Many people find that after they have raised peas a few years in their garden, 
the vines begin to turn yellow and die. This is caused by a disease known as Root 
Rot. It has been found that ordinary gypsum will control this trouble. Simply spread it 
broadcast over the ground just before you sow the seed and rake it in. Use it at the 
rate of 1 lb. to three square yards. Most dealers of building supplies sell gypsum. If you 
cannot obtain it locally, we can supply. See page 86.

THOMAS LAXTON. (3 ft.) One of the most popular early peas for 
- - both home and market gardeners. The vines are 
very productive of large pods (2Y to 3Y inches long) of the finest quality. Season 
same as Gradus (see below) matures right after the first early kinds.

WORLD’S RECORD. (2Y ft.) This is the earliest wrinkled pea with large 
-- pods maturing a few days later than Mammoth 
Podded Extra Early. It is really an improved Gradus. We recommend this 
variety most highly. The pods are 2>Y to 4 in. long and fdled with large peas 
which are very tender and sweet. The sturdy vines bear heavily.

Rogers Gilbo Peas 
These large pods contain 8 to 9 delicious large peas. 
See description on next page. 
GRADUS also called Prosperity. (3 ft.) One of the most popular 
- early large podded peas both for home gardens and 
commercial growers. It matures only three or four days later than the 
earliest kinds like Alaska and First and Best, has much larger pods, and 
is of much better quality. The pods are 3 to 3J^ in. long and are filled 
with large peas which are very sweet and tender. 
Y Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 1Y Lbs. $1.95 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
LITTLE MARVEL. (15 in.) Should be in Every Home Garden. This pea is 
certainly rightly named and is one of the best and most popular kinds for the 
home garden. The vines are wonderfully prolific, producing deep green peas 
of high quality which mature between Gradus and Hundredfold. They stand 
longer than most kinds without becoming tough and tasteless. 
Y Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; lYl Lbs. $1.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 
15 Lbs. $2.70; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
HUNDREDFOLD or BLUE BANTAM. (20 in.) Resembles the old 
Laxtonian but is larger, has darker pods and is more prolific. The pods 
are 3Y to 4 inches long and well filled with large deep green peas of fine 
quality. The vines are very strong, maturing a few days after Gradus 
and Thomas Laxton.

Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.70; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.40. 
MAMMOTH PODDED EXTRA EARLY. (3 ft.) 
Almost as early as Alaska with much larger pods. The 
peas are semi-wrinkled and can be sown very early 
without danger of rotting. The pods are as large as 
Gradus but are not as good quality and mature a 
few days earlier. Crop very short.

LAXTON’S PROGRESS. 
(18 in.) This is 
the largest and 
we consider it the best of the medium early dwarf 
varieties. The pods resemble Hundredfold very close¬ 
ly but are a little larger and mature a day or two 
earlier. The vines are 15 to 18 in. high and the pods 4 
to 4 Y in- long, deep green and well filled with dark 
green peas of high quality. This variety should be 
included in every home and commercial planting.
