Winter Peas 
(350 seeds per oz.) 
If winter peas are successfully grown they are distinctly profitable. They 
are inherently strong in growth and free flowering. But their roots seem un- 
usually susceptible to the rot that accumulates in old greenhouse soil. For 
this reason we find it profitable to sterlize or change soil annually for peas. 
To get the vines hardened enough to hold buds and flower early in winter, 
we find it necessary to sow, quite early in July. An August sowing goes into 
the short days with growth that will usually not harden enough to hold buds 
until January. 
Progressive improvement gives us a splendid list of varieties today. In- 
creased vigor of growth which means more flowers, is especially noteworthy 
in today’s assortment. We have, in the past, done considerable work in im- 
proving peas, and we continue to carry this on.’ We will have several real 
improvements to offer next season. 
OUR 12-BEST VARIETIES 
BALL ROSE QUEEN 
A strong growing, large flowered, long-stemmed, clear rose pink. We easily 
place this at the head of clear rose pinks. A fair seed supply is promised for 
this season. 1 oz., only until new crop ready, about 8/15. 1% oz., 25c; 1 oz., 
35c; 4 ozs., $1.20; 1 lb., $4.00. 
BALL ROSE SUPREME 
This shouldn’t be confused with our old Ball Rose or its improvements. It 
is an utterly different stock, the color being a silvery rose pink without shad- 
ing. Long stemmed, large flower and strong growth. We supply quantities 
up to 4 ozs. only until new crop, ready about 8/15. % oz., 20c; 1 0z., 30c; 4 
ozs., $1.00; 1 lb., $3.50. 
BALL SALMON 
Fairly deep salmon or coral pink; deeper and more effective than Daphne 
but not extra large flowering. 4% oz., 35c; 1 0z., 50c; 4 ozs., $1.50; 1 lb., $5.00. 
MRS. HOOVER 
While this old timer will be made completely obsolete by our Ball Blue 
Supreme, that will be ready next season, we have nothing better to offer this 
season in this color. 1% oz., 20c; 1 0z., 30c; 4 ozs., $1.00; 1 lb., $3.50. We like 
Tahoe better for color but it is not mid-winter flowering. 

TWILIGHT 
A fine, large lavender, long-stemmed and clear color that greatly 
improves Harmony. But with some, this variety seems slightly 
lacking in free vigorous growth. Because of this possible objection 
to it, we must continue Harmony on this list. We supply amounts 
TREASURE ISLAND to 4 ozs. only, till new crop ready, about 8/15. % oz., 25e; 1 oz., 
Brilliant orange scarlet. Its extra size and long stems are out- 30c; 4 ozs., $1.20; 1 Ib., $4.00.
