1 lb. will sow 100 ft. row 
Peas should be planted as soon as the frost is out of 
the ground, | inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart in row. 
Rows from 2% to 3% feet apart, depending on variety. 
LITTLE MARVEL: 62 days. One of the older vari- 
eties of early wrinkled peas but one of the best; if 
not the best. Our experience is that it will outyield 
Surprise and is more dwarf, growing only 18 inches 
tall. The pods are about 3 inches long, 7 to 8 peas 
ina pod. It is not desirable for shipping as the pods 
are too small. % lb. 20 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 Ibs. 55 
cts.; 5 Ibs. $1.35; 15 Ibs. $3.15; 100 Ibs. $18.00. 
WORLD’S RECORD: 60 days. A large podded, 
early, wrinkled pea that has met with great favor 
in some localities. However, we feel that it should 
be tested in a limited way before large plantings are 
made as it seems to be rather limited in its adapta- 
bility. Vines 2% ft. high, sturdy and bear well. 
Pods are pointed, medium dark green, 3 to 3% inches 
lone, 924 1b. 20 cts:;/1b. 35 cts.; 2:1bs.65) ctsi3/5

of the dwarf, large podded, wrinkled, local market

ety for home and market garden. First of the Lax- 
ton group to be introduced. Now largely replaced

Lawrence Bros. of Binghamton are very successful high quality 
vegetable growers. Each year their storage is filled with cabbage 
beets, carrots and parsnips grown from Robson Seeds. It’s a cold 
job getting out parsnips just before it freezes up.

MIDSEASON GIANT: 67 days. Very similar to, if 
not identical with, Asgrow 40, Giant Stride and Wy- 
oming Wonder. Matures after the early varieties 
and seems to stand the hot weather better than most 
varieties of this season. The vines grow about 20 
inches high. The 4% inch pods contain 8 to 9 large 
peas of good quality. Pods are dark green which 
make it a desirable shipping variety. 1% Ib. 20 cts.;

ALDERMAN OR DARK PODDED TELEPHONE: 
74 days. This is so much better than the old Tele-

is the late variety commonly used in sections where 
peas are grown for shipping. The vine grows about 
40 inches tall: the pod is 4% to 5% inches long, dark 
green and contains 8 to 10 plump large peas. We con- 
sider Alderman the best tall pea. % lb. 20 cts.; lb.

8 to 10 large peas in a pod. ¥% Ib. 20 cts.; Ib. 30

should be taken to have the soil in good condition before

apart. Thin seedlings to a stand of 4 inches apart in 
row. May be dug in fall and stored out-of-doors with

of the old Hollow Crown but better filled at the sides.

grow this seed from selected transplanted roots.

to the gardener who wants quality parsnips. Pkt.
