When Different Varieties Mature 
The figures after each variety indicate the approximate number 
of days required to produce edible peas. Weather conditions, time 
of planting, etc. affect the time of maturity of peas greatly so that 
these figures will vary within rather wide limits. However they are 
relative and can be taken as a guide in selecting varieties so that 
you will have a succession of peas from one planting.

MIDSEASON GIANT, @° in) 73 days. The vines are 
vigorous and resistant to dry weather 
producing fine crops of large tender delicious peas which are ready a few 
days before Alderman. The pods are 41% inches long, dark green and 
filled with 8-9 big peas of delicious flavor. 
This is a finely bred wrinkled pea and should not be sown until the 
weather is settled. In our experience we find it often yields fine crops 
in dry weather when other kinds do not do well.

DWARF ALDERMAN. (2 ft.) 72 days. This new variety has been wel- 
comed by gardeners who have wanted the large pods and large succu- 
lent peas of the old Alderman but who prefer dwarf vines. The pods 
are produced in great abundance, are nearly five inches long and are 
filled with eight to nine large green peas that are extremely delicious 
and tender. 
This is a midseason variety, maturing practically the same time as 
Alderman and is a valuable kind to fill the gap between the early and eG 
very late varieties. Have some of these peas in your garden. °

LINCOLN. (214 ft.) 70 days. This old favorite is still among the best main crop varieties, especially for 
the home garden. The handsome dark green pods are 3 to 3% in. long, closely packed with 8 to 9 peas of 
medium size and superb quality. They mature a few days before Alderman and are produced in pairs near 
the top of the vines so that they can be easily picked. 
In our opinion this is one of the most delicious peas grown and we always plant an extra lot for our own 
use. If you have not grown Lincoln, try some in your garden this year.

Tall Varieties 
The tall growing peas produce enormous crops in comparatively small 
space if given support for the vines. Many growers use brush stuck in 
ground along the row, and others use chicken wire or a light trellis. When 
grown in this manner they are not only more productive but much easier 
to pick. 
ALDERMAN. (4-5 ft.) 72 days. The Best Tall Variety. This is 
an improved Telephone and it is by far the best 
variety of this type, yielding more than any other kind. The pods are 
large, pointed, while the vines are of robust growth and very prolific. 
The pods are immense, often 5 inches long and contain 8 to 10 large 
peas. Matures medium late. For best results give the vines support.
