Medium and Late Dwarf Varieties 
ROGERS GILBO. © *. 72 days. Robust, Large Pods, 
* Superior Quality. The vines are robust and 
the pods large and pointed, closely resembling Midseason Giant, but are 
a few days earlier being the earliest of the large midseason varieties. 
The vines are strong and robust and bear an abundance of pods. 
Pods 41% to 5 inches long, containing 8 to 9 large peas of superb quality. 
Although a wrinkled pea, this is a more hardy sort and can be planted 
earlier than most varieties of this class. See photo on page 31. 
We recommend this kind highly both for home and market gardeners.

DWARF ALDERMAN. (2 ft.) 72 days. This new variety has been wel- 
comed by gardeners who have wanted the large pods and large succu- 
lent peas of the old Alderman but who prefer dwarf vines. The pods 
are produced in great abundance, are nearly five inches long and are 
filled with eight to nine large green peas that are extremely delicious 
and tender. 
This is a midseason variety, maturing practically the same time as 
Alderman and is a valuable kind to fill the gap between the early and very late varieties. Have some of 
these peas in your garden. 
Pkt. 10c; 44 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 71% Ibs. $1.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.80; 
56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.70. 
MIDSEASON GIANT. (20 in.) 73 days. The vines are vigorous and resistant to dry weather producing 
fine crops of large tender delicious peas which are ready a few days before Alderman. The pods are 414 
inches long, dark green and filled with 8-9 big peas of delicious flavor. 
This is a finely bred wrinkled pea and should not be sown until the weather is settled. In our experi- 
ence we find it often yields fine crops in dry weather when other kinds 
do not do well. 
ADVANCER. (214 ft.) 69 days. One of the finest kinds we know of for Pkt. 10c; 14 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 714 Lbs. $1.95 transportation 
home canning. The quality is of the very best. Matures in mid-season paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $2.80; 56 Lbs. (Bu.) $8.70. 
between the early and late kinds. Pods are of medium size but so well 
filled they contain just as many peas as many of the very large podded 
varieties. The vines yield immense crops.

LINCOLN. (214 ft.) 70 days. This old favorite is still among the best 
main crop varieties, especially for the home garden. The handsome 
dark green pods are 3 to 3% in. long, closely packed with 8 to 9 peas 
of medium size and superb quality. They mature a few days before 
Alderman and are produced in pairs near the top of the vines so that 
they can be easily picked.

TALL VARIETIES 
Although these kinds can be grown successfully without support, they usually 
do better if the vines are grown on brush or chicken wire, etc. 
ALDERMAN (4-5 ft.) 72 days. The Best Tall Variety. This is 
* an improved Telephone and it is by far the best 
variety of this type, yielding more than any other kind. The pods are 
large, pointed, while the vines are of robust growth and very prolific. 
The pods are immense, often 5 inches long and contain 8 to 10 large 
peas: Matures medium late. For best results give the vines support.

When Different Varieties Mature 
The figures after each variety indicate the approximate number of days 
required to produce edible peas. Weather conditions, time of planting, 
etc. affect the time of maturity of peas greatly so that these figures will 
vary within rather wide limits. However they are relative and can be 
taken as a guide in selecting varieties so that you will have a succession 
of peas from one planting. Alderman Peas
