X-L VEGETABLE SEEDS 

PEAS 
Are Rich in Sugar 
Therefore they should be picked when young and tender 
and cooked at once. Smooth varieties are not as sweet but 
they can be planted earlier. Sow the early, smooth types 
as soon as you can work in the garden, then continue 
planting every 10 days or 2 weeks with the mid-season 
and finally plant the heavy yielding late varieties during 
the last of May. Sow in rows 2 feet apart; spacing the seed 
about 2 inches apart in the rows; cover seeds about 2 
inches. Be sure to inoculate with Nitragin before sowing. 
110—ALASKA OR EARLIEST OF ALL 
Smooth seeded. Pods are short, straight, and blunt. This

PEPPERS 
Like egg plants and tomatoes, peppers should be started 
indoors, as they take four to five months to mature. They 
are easy to grow, thrive in cool weather and will endure 
some frost. The plants should stand eight to eighteen inches 
apart in rows. They are constantly becoming more popular, 
both in salads and for use in cooking. A dozen plants will 
supply an average family. One packet produces 50 plants.

has passed every 
other variety in 
sales during the 
few years it has 
been on the mar- 
ket. X-L strain

other varieties.
