ENGLISH or GARDEN 
PEAS 
Plant 1 bushel per acre in single rows; 12 bushels per acre in double rows. 
Our pea seed is strictly first class, high germinating, 
disease-free, western-grown stock, and our different vari- 
eties are absolutely true to type. 
Although there are hundreds of distinct varieties of Eng- 
lish or Garden Peas, we list only a few which we have found 
particularly well adapted to Florida growing conditions, and 
on which few varieties we have concentrated our efforts in an 
endeavor to maintain stocks second to none for Florida. Our 
plant breeders are continually improving the varieties we list 
by using pedigreed stocks in the production of our seed crops. 
Curture. English Peas are very hardy and are not com- 
monly attacked by insects. Frost does not hurt them, except 
while in blossom, and then only that part of the crop in 
bloom; they will put on another crop immediately. If frost 
destroys the bloom it is a good idea to give the plants an ap- 
plication of Nitrate of Soda, at the rate of 200 pounds per 
acre. Peas can be grown on almost any kind of soil and with 
about the same cultivation as beans. Planting in double rows, 
six to eight inches apart, is a good plan, because this enables 
the plants to support each other. Single rows should be 
spaced two and a half to three feet apart, and double rows 
three to three and a half feet apart from center of double 
rows. Drop seed one to two inches apart in the row, and 
cover two to three inches deep. By working the soil up 
against the stems of the plants they will bear much longer. 
Use a high grade fertilizer at the rate of one thousand to 
twelve hundred pounds per acre. Increased stands and yields 
are secured by treating pea seed with Semesan at rate of 
1 oz. per bushel of seed. (See page 55.)

We list only a few varieties, which as the result of our over 
thirty year’s experience we have found to be best suited to 
the climatic and soil conditions of Florida. 
KILGORE’S WINNER. (52 days.) This variety was intro~ 
duced by us several years ago, and it becomes more popular 
each season. It is one of the finest large early peas for Flor- 
ida sandy loam soils, and in cool seasons is also adapted to 
Florida muck soils. As it is a very early, exceedingly large- 
podded variety, it is in great demand on northern markets. 
It is a surer cropper and a better yielder than other early 
large-podded varieties. The plants are vigorous in growth, 
eighteen to twenty-two inches in height, with heavy. very 
dark green vine and foliage, producing a great abundance of 
very large (4 to 4% inches long) broad, deep green, straight 
pointed pods containing usually eight large, dark green peas 
of unsurpassed quality. A very desirable sort for home 
gardens and for shipping to markets desiring a large podded 
pea of high quality. 
VY Ib. 10c; 1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 50c. 
LITTLE MARVEL (52 days.) By far the most popular 
and extensively grown pea for Florida, because of its ex- 
ceptionally high quality, earliness and consistently high yield 
of well filled pods. The most desirable early variety, especial- 
ly well adapted to Florida muck soils where it is a sure 
cropper with well-filled pods, even in warm seasons. The 
vines are vigorous, stocky, dark green in color, growing 
about 11% feet tall, and are literally loaded with single and 
double, straight, round, blunt, very dark green, plump pods 
about 3 inches long, well-filled with 7 to 8 tender peas. A 
heavy yielder and sure cropper, valuable for home garden 
and for early shipping. 
VY |b. 10c; 1 Ib. 30; 2 Ibs. 50c. 
DARK PODDED THOMAS LAXTON. (50 days.) A very pop- 
ular and profitable variety for sandy loam soils. The vines 
are of rather vigorous growth reaching a height of 2% to 3 
feet and are very productive. The rich, deep green colored 
pods are large, averaging three and one-half to three and 
three-quarter inches long, are straight, nearly round, and 
square ended, containing usually seven medium dark green 
peas of superior quality. Our improved, dark podded strain 
is very early, and has darker colored, more attractive pods 
than other strains of Thomas Laxton. 
VY Ib. 10c; 1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 50c. 
LAXTONIAN,. (51 days.) This variety is quite popular 
wherever grown. The plant is a dwarf grower, about 18 to 20 
inches tall, rather coarse, vigorous ‘and productive. Does 
well on sandy loam soils but blasts on muck soils. It is early, 
producing large (41% inches long), broad, slightly curved, 
dark green, pointed pods, well filled with seven to eight large 
peas. Valuable for home gardens and for shipping. 
V4 Ib. 10c; 1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 50c. 
KILGORE’S MAMMOTH-PODDED DWARF STRATAGEM. 
(60 days.) This variety has been bred especially for shippers. 
It is resistant to Fusarium Wilt and produces dark green, 
stocky, vigorous vines, averaging about 26 inches tall. Pods 
are much longer than Little Marvel, averaging about 5 inches 
in length, round, dark green, plump, pointed, curved at the 
tip and contain eight to ten large succulent peas. Every 
southern grower of peas should give this variety a trial. 
Va Ib. 10c; 1 Ib. 30c; 2 Ibs. 50c.
