PEAS 
(e ARDEN PEAS is another item which we grow extensively. In Idaho, not far from our 
Bean fields, we contract and supervise the growing of thousands of acres of peas, 
each tract being produced from our own stock seed. Our own experts live in these areas 
and devote all of their time—during the planting, growing, harvesting and shipping peri- 
ods—to the production of finest quality stocks. The climate and soil of Idaho are, with- 
out question, the most satisfactory for the growing of both bean and pea seed. 
The maturity dates listed after the variety names are based on the Minnesota grow- 
ing season. They are given here for making comparisons as to the earliness or lateness.
