Main Cron Duar, Varieties 
180 MIDSEASON GIANT. Large Pods and Fine Quality 
; (20 in.) 72 days. One of the finest 
midseason peas for both home and market. Vines are about 20 inches 
tall, vigorous and stand up well even in dry weather. The pods are 
444 to 5 inches long, broad and slightly curved; they are dark green 
in color and well filled with 8-9 big peas of wonderful flavor and 
tenderness. The large pods and delicious flavor make them ideal for 
market, canning or table use. Also excellent for freezing. 
Midseason Giant ripens about the same time as Alderman and 
produces tremendous crops. It is a very finely bred, high quality 
pea and should not be sown until the weather is settled.

155 DWARF ALDERMAN. (2 ft.) 72 days. This variety has been 
welcomed by gardeners who have wanted the large pods and large 
succulent 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 be- 
tween the early and very late varieties.

168 LINCOLN. The Sweetest Midseason Pea. (214 ft.) 70 days. 
A favorite of ours for many years and still one of 
the best main crop varieties, especially for the home garden. The hand- 
some dark green pods are slender, 3 to 3% in. long, and closely packed 
with 8 to 9 peas of medium size and superb quality. They mature sey- 
eral 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.

When Different Varieties Mature

are large and pointed, closely resembling Midseason Giant, but are a 
few days earlier being the earliest of the large midseason varieties. 
The vines are strong and bear an abundance of pods. Pods 414 to 5 
inches long, containing 8 to 9 large peas of fine quality. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c; 71% Lbs. $2.65. 
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. 
152 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.

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.
