There Is Seldom an Over-production of English Peas, and They Are Rarely Molested by Insects or Frosts 
ENGLISH or GARDEN 
PEAS 
Plant 1 bushel per acre in single rows; 1^2 bushels per acre in double rows. 
Our pea seed is strictly first class, high germinating, 
disease-free, western - grown stock, and our different 
varieties are absolutely true to type. 
Although there are hundreds of distinct varieties of English 
or Garden Peas, we list only a few which we have found par¬ 
ticularly well-adapted to southern growing conditions, and on 
which few varieties we have concentrated our efforts in an en¬ 
deavor to maintain stocks second to none for the South. Our 
plant breeders are continually improving the varieties we list by 
using pedigreed stocks in the production of our seed crops. 
Culture. English Peas are very hardy and are not commonly 
attacked by insects. Frost does not hurt them, except while in 
blossom, and then only that part of the crop in bloom; they 
will put on another crop immediately. If frost destroys the 
bloom it is a good idea to give the plants an application of Ni¬ 
trate of Soda, at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. Peas can be 
grown on almost any kind of soil and with about the same cul¬ 
tivation as beans. Planting in double rows, six to eight inches 
apart, is a good plan, because this enables the plants to sup¬ 
port each other. Single rows should be spaced two and a half 
to three feet apart, and double rows three to three and a half 
feet apart from center of double rows. Drop seed one to two 
inches apart in the row, and cover two to three inches deep. 
By working the soil up against the stems of the plants they will 
bear much longer. Use a high grade fertilizer at the rate of 
one thousand to twelve hundred pounds per acre.

KILGORE’S WINNER. (52 days.) This variety was intro¬ 
duced by us several years ago, and it becomes more popular 
each season. It is one of the finest large early peas for Florida 
sandy loam soils, and in cool seasons is also adapted to Florida 
muck soils. As it is a very early, exceedingly large-podded va¬ 
riety, it is in great demand on northern markets. It is a surer 
cropper and a better yielder than other early large-podded va¬ 
rieties. The plants are vigorous in growth, eighteen to twenty- 
two inches in height, with heavy, very dark green vine and 
foliage, producing a great abundance of very large (4 to 4)4 
inches long) broad, deep green, straight pointed pods contain¬ 
ing usually eight large, dark green peas of unsurpassed quality. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c. 
THOMAS LAXTON. (55 days.) A very popular and profit¬ 
able variety for sandy loam soils. The vines are of rather vig¬ 
orous growth reaching a height of 2 V 2 to 3 feet, and are very 
productive. The medium green colored pods are large, averag¬ 
ing three and one-half to three and three-quarter inches Iona:, 
are straight, nearly round, and square ended, containing usual¬ 
ly seven medium dark green peas of superior quality. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
LITTLE MARVEL. (50 days.) A very desirable early vari¬ 
ety especially well adapted to Florida muck soils, where it is a 
sure cropper with well filled pods, even in warm seasons. The 
vines are vigorous, growing about W‘z feet tall, and are loaded 
with straight, round, blunt, very dark green plump pods about 
three inches long, well filled with seven to eight tender peas. 
14 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED DWARF TELEPHONE. 
(60 days.) A large podded, highly productive sort, resistant to 
Fusarium Wilt disease. Vines are light green, stocky and 
bunchy. Pods single and double, medium light green, slightly 
curved, broad, pointed and very attractive, containing eight to 
ten peas of excellent quality. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c. 
LAXTONIAN. (55 days.) This variety is quite popular 
wherever grown. The plant is a dwarf grower, about 18 to 20 
inches tall, rather coarse, vigorous and productive. Does well 
on sandy loam soils, but blasts on muck soils. It is early, pro¬ 
ducing large, (4)4 inches long), broad, slightly curved, dark 
green, pointed pods, well filled with seven to eight large peas. 
Mlb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
LAXTON’S PROGRESS. (55 days.) One of the earliest and 
best of the large podded wrinkled peas. The medium dark 
green vines grow sixteen to eighteen inches high. The hand¬ 
some pods are very large, 4)/^ to 5 inches long, and about Ys 
inch wide, curved and pointed, dark green in color, and are 
well filled with seven to nine large, sweet and delicious peas.

KILGORE’S MAMMOTH-PODDED DWARF STRATA¬ 
GEM. (New.) (62 days.) This new variety has been bred 
especially for shippers. It is resistant to Fusarium Wilt and 
produces dark green, stocky, vigorous vines, averaging about 
26 inches tall. Unexcelled in pod size. Pods are nearly twice 
as long as Little Marvels, ranging from 514 to 614 inches in 
length, round, dark green, plump, pointed, curved at the tip 
and contain eight to ten large succulent peas. Every southern 
grower of peas should give this new variety a trial this season.
