THE BEST OF THE GARDEN PEAS 
From our own experience and from results obtained in the gardens of our customers, we offer you these fourteen kinds of 
Peas for both the home and the market garden. You will find them listed in the order in which they become ready to pick. 
The very eary, smooth Peas can be sown while some frost is in the ground. They bear very early, but are not as sweet as the 
wrinkled kinds. Sow the wrinkled varieties when the ground is warm. Plant Peas in trenches that are 3 to 4 inches deep and 2 feet 
apart, covering seed with an inch of soil. Tall varieties should be kept from trailing on the ground by supports. 
This is a little 
more trouble than in growing the dwarf kinds, but you will get more Peas from them. Pinch back the tips of the runners of the tall 
kinds; it makes a heavier crop. 
Prices on all Peas: Pkg. 10c; 2 Ib. 25c; Ib. 45c; 5 Ibs. $1.75, postpaid. 
One package will sow 12 feet of row; 1 pound, 100 feet.
