PEAS 
A packet of seed will sow about 10 feet of row, a pound 100 feet. Two to four bushels per acre. 
A pound is about a pint and 15 lbs. equals a peck. 
Sow Plenty of Peas 
There is no more delicious vegetable than fresh, young green peas 
picked right off the vines in your garden and cooked immediately. If the 
garden is small, sow all the land you can spare. When you are eating 
and enjoying luscious green peas from your own garden you will not 
regret the space they take. After the peas are gone, the ground can be 
used for late cabbage, turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same time so they 
will mature in succession. This is better than to sow one kind three or four 
times during the season. See collections on next page.

195 WORLD’S RECORD. ae ad: sid be 
earliest pea of high quality, and tremendously popular for 
both home and market. The pods are large, 314% to 4 inches 
long, pointed and well filled with large peas of fine flavor and 
sweetness. The vines are strong and bear heavily. These 
large sweet peas coming early in the season are a real treat. 
Our strain of World’s Record is the best obtainable, for it 
is more uniform and prolific and ripens much earlier than 
most strains. It will satisfy the most critical market gar- 
dener, and is the earliest and finest for home use.

158 GRADUS also called Prosperity. (3 ft.) 60 days. Ripens 
just after World’s Record and is one of the most popular 
early large podded peas. The pods are 3 to 3% in. long and 
are filled with large peas which are very sweet and tender.

Many people find that after they have raised peas a few years in their 
garden, the vines begin to turn yellow and die. This is caused by a disease 
known as Root Rot. In sections where it is not too severe, ordinary gyp- 
sum (land plaster) usually gives fairly good control of this trouble. Simply 
spread it broadcast over the ground just before you sow the seed and rake 
itin. Use it at the rate of 1 lb. to three square yards. Most dealers of building 
supplies sell gypsum. 
At the prices here quoted, we prepay transportation charges on 
peas to places in the United States. For larger quantities write 
for special prices. 

190 THOMAS LAXTON. Early and Very Delicious. (3 ft.) 61 days. One of the finest and most 












| World’s Record Peas 


popular early peas for both home and market garden. The vines are 
strong and vigorous and very productive of good pods (24% to 3% inches long) of the finest quality. The 
peas have a very delicious flavor and are exceptionally tender and sweet. Pods blunt, as shown in the 
photo aboye, and very well filled. 
Thomas Laxton is highly recommended for canning and is by far the best early kind for freezing. They 
are not only wonderful to eat fresh but they hold their quality longer than most kinds.

170 LITTLE MARVEL. (15 in.) 62 days. Should be in Every Home Garden. This pea is certainly rightly 
named and is one of the best and most delicious kinds for the home garden. The vines are wonderfully 
prolific, producing deep green peas of high quality which mature shortly after World’s Record. The peas 
are sweet, have remarkably fine flavor, and stand longer than most kinds without becoming tough. Pods 
2% to 3 in. long and very tightly filled.

165 LAXTON’S PROGRESS. “arse Podded. (18 in.) 63 days. One of the best of the 
medium early dwarf varieties. The vines are 15 to 18 in. 
high and the pods 4 to 41% in. long, deep green and well filled with dark green peas of high 
quality. This variety matures right after Thomas Laxton. It is the standard medium early 
variety and is one of the most widely grown peas, both for home and commercial use.

163 HUNDREDFOLD or BLUE BANTAM. (20 in.) 65 days. Resembles Laxton’s Progress but 
is later and has slightly taller vines. The pods are 31% to 4 inches long and well filled with large 
deep green peas of fine quality. The vines are very strong and bear over a long season. This 
variety is especially valuable as it helps to fill the gap between the early varieties and the 
midseason or late kinds.

When Different Varieties Mature 
The figures after each variety indicate the approximate number of days required to pro- 
duce 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 succes- 
sion of peas from one planting.
