Erbsen (Ger.) PEAS 
A packet of seed will sow about 10 feel of row, a pound 100 feet. Two to four bushels per acre. 
Piselli (It.) 
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 trans¬ 
portation 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 lake. 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 (Land Plaster) 
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 rate of 1 lb. to three square yards. 
Most dealers of building supplies sell gypsum. If you cannot 
obtain it locally, we can supply. See page 86.

WORLD’S RECORD (2)4 ft-) We recommend this variety 
- - most highly both for home and market.

days later than Mammoth Podded Extra Early. It is really an improved 
Gradus. The pods are 3)4 to 4 in. long and filled with large peas which 
are very tender and sweet. The sturdy vines bear heavily.

MAMMOTH PODDED EXTRA EARLY. (3 ft.) Almost as early as 
Alaska with much larger pods. The peas are semi-wrinkled and can be 
sown very early without danger of rotting. The pods are as large as 
Gradus but are not as good quality and mature a few days earlier.

Alaska. We have discontinued selling this variety as Mammoth Podded 
Extra Early is so much superior in every way. 
LAXTON'S PROGRESS. (18 in.) This is the largest and we consider it 
----1 the best of the medium early dwarf varieties.

deep green and well filled with dark green peas of high quality. This variety 
matures right after Gradus and Thomas Laxton. Laxton’s Progress should be in¬ 
cluded in every home and commercial planting.
