ENGLISH or GARDEN 
PEAS 
Plant 1 bushel per ocre in single rows; 1 Vi bushels per acre in double rows. 
Our pea seed is strictly first class, high germinating, 
disease-free, western-grown stock, and our different vari¬ 
eties ore absolutely true to type. 
Although there are hundreds of distinct varieties of Eng¬ 
lish or Garden Peas, we list only a few which we have found 
particularly well adapted to Florida growing conditions, and 
on which few varieties we have concentrated our efforts in an 
endeavor to maintain stocks second to none for Florida. 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 com¬ 
monly 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 ap¬ 
plication of Nitrate of Soda, at the rate of 200 pounds per 
acre. Peas can be grown on almost anj'^ kind of soil and with 
about the same cultivation as beans. Planting in double rows, 
six to eight inches apart, is a good plan, because this enables 
the plants to support 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 tlie row, and 
cover two to three inches deep. By w'orking 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 Flor¬ 
ida sandy loam soils, and in cool seasons is also adapted to 
Florida muck soils. As it is a very early, exceedingly large- 
podded variety, it is in great demand on northern markets. 
It is a surer cropper and a better yielder than other early 
large-podded varieties. The plants are vigorous in growth, 
eighteen to twenty-tw'O inches in height, with heavy, very 
dark green vine and foliage, producing a great abundance of 
very large (4 to 41/2 inches long) broad, deep green, straight 
pointed pods containing usually eight large, dark green peas 
of unsurpassed quality. 
1/4 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
DARK PODDED THOMAS LAXTON. (55 days.) A very pop¬ 
ular and profitable variety for sandy loam soils. The vines 
are of ratlier vigorous growth reaching a height of 21/2 to 3 
feet and are very productive. The rich, deep green colored 
pods are large, averaging three and one-half to three and 
tliree-quarter inches long, are straight, nearly round, and 
square ended, containing usually seven medium dark green 
peas of superior quality. 
14 lb. 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 iy 2 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. We have the reputation of having developed one of 
the very finest, uniform, high yielding, uniformly true to 
type strains for Florida conditions. 
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

single and double, medium light green, slightly curved, broad, 
pointed and very attractive, containing eight to ten peas of 
excellent quality. 
14 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
LAXTON IAN. (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 
especially well on sandy loam soils but is not recommended 
for muck soils. It is early, producing large ( 41/2 inches 
long), broad, slightly curved, dark green, pointed pods, 
well filled with seven to eight large peas. 
Va lb. lOc; 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, 41/3 to 5 inches long and about 7/8 
inch wide, curved and pointed, dark green in color, and are 
well filled with seven to nine large, sweet and delicious peas. 
!4 lb. 10c; 1 lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 50c. 
KILGORE'S MAMMOTH-PODDED DWARF STRATAGEM. 
(62 days.) This variety has been bred especially for ship¬ 
pers. 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 Marvel, ranging from 51/2 to 6% 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 variety a trial this season.
