PEAS 
A packet of seed will sow about 10 feet of row, a pound 100 feet. Two to four bushels per acre. 
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 off 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 ground 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 
rale of 1 lb. to three square yards. Most dealers of building supplies sell gypsum. If you 
cannot obtain is locally, we can supply. See page 86.

(2Y ft.) This is the earliest wrinkled pea with large 
pods, maturing only a few days later than Mam¬

LITTLE MARVEL. (1 5 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.

(18 in.) This is the largest and we 
consider it the best of the medium 
early dwarf varieties. The pods resemble Hundredfold very closely 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 AY 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.

"The seeds I bought from you were good. I planted one quart of World Record peas

"We are eating and selling your Laxton s Progress peas now. It is splendid and was 
ready to sell only a few days later than Nott s Excelsior and ils appearance is so much 
finer. We have bought between $30 and $'i() worth of seeds from you this year and we 
think we have the finest garden of anybody around here, and a lot of credit is due Harris' 
Seeds.” Mrs. John F. Hough, Brandon, VI. July 7, I93S.

July 3rd, Alderman have reached the top of 6 ft. wire and are receiving lots of comment."
