This Secret? 
Do you know how to avoid the usual 
disappointment of a poor Pea crop 
after mid-July? It is easy to get big 
crops of luscious juicy Peas “f,ailing 
right over one another,” in steady 
succession even up to late August— 
if you learn this secret: 
Instead of planting at 2- to 3- 
week intervals, get the following 
picked varieties and plant all at 
once in early spring, the moment the 
ground can he worked. This will 
allow a good root-system to develop 
before hot weather comes. The 
varieties will bear in the order 
shown below (and pictured opposite), 
beginning about June 20 and keeping 
up a steady succession of big mouth¬ 
watering crops until late August.
