Peas—Garden 
German—Erbsen. Spanish—Gulsante. 
Italian—Pisello. 
Culture: There are two different kinds of pea seed, the 
Pea Culture: Peas require moderate temperature, plenty 
of moisture and good, fairly rich soil. The earliest crop 
can be planted when the ground is ready to work and 
later plantings can be made which will give you fresh 
peas all summer long, especially if you are growing them 
in the higher altitudes where the summers are cool. Dwarf 
or short vine peas are best suited where space is scarce 
and soil very rich. Can be sown in single or double rows 
with about 2 inches between the seeds and rows of 1% 
to 21/4 feet apart. The seed should be planted about 1 inch 
to 1^2 inches under the surface.

early variety. Vines slender, light green, 30 inches high.

productiveness and lang dark green pods, is being grown 
extensively by market gardeners and for home gardens. 
Little Marvel. 64 days. A very early, extra fine variety, 
especially recommended for home gardens as it is the 
sweetest and best flavored of all peas, but we recommend 
it only for a second early crop. The larger podded 
varieties are best for main crop. Foliage and pods very

shipping variety. It is ready for market 5 days before

attractive of the Laxtonian family. Popular for ship¬ 
ping to distant markets, also for home and market gar¬ 
den planting. Vines medium dark green. Pods single, 
4^/4 inches long, dark green, somewhat curved, pointed, 
handsome; contain 7 to 9 large peas of good quality. 
Rogers G. O. P. (Grand Old Pod.) 74 days. A 1938 in¬ 
troduction. Especially recommended as a shipper to the 
large markets where the demand is for a large podded 
pea. This variety grows about 28 inches tall on a very 
robust vine. Pods are approximately 5 to 5% inches in 
length, and unusually broad. 
Rogers No. 95. 74 days. This pea we consider the purest 
strain and highest developed of the large shipping 
podded varieties. This strain seems better fixed running 
truer to type. The vines are vigorous, growing about 27 
inches tall, producing pods 4% to 5 inches in length 
which are plump and of dark green color. A heavy 
yielder. It is our first choice as a shipping variety. 
Dark Dwarf Tole|Miene. 75 days. This variety was devel¬ 
oped from the Improved Stratagem and Dwarf Defiance. 
Pods are very dsTk; little longer th.an the Stratagem, 
4 % iuchee. Also heavier yielder as the vines are dwarf, 
sturdy and have heavier stems. 
Asgrow No. 40. 75 days. Resembles Stratagem but 4 to 
5 days earlier. Bred particularly for shippers and 
market gardeners. Vines dark green, stocky and branch¬ 
ing, Pods form single and double. 5 to 6 inches long,

main crop commercial varieties. Vines grow 20 to 24

mended as a shipping variety. Pods 4% to 4% inches, 
dark green, well filled.

popular in the mountains and it is a very hardy and a 
very heavy yielder, of fine well-filled pods which meas¬ 
ure about 4% inches long. Vines are dwarf, grow 2^ 
to 3 feet high. 
Everbearing Peas. 78 days. Grows about 36 inches high; 
pods about 3 inches long, of very fine quality. A con¬ 
stant bearer and produces an abundance of pods. 
Mammoth Edible Pod or Luscious Sugar. 78 days. It is a 
double purpose pea. The pods when half grown can be 
cooked the same way as snap beans, or later it can be
