Main Crop Dwarf Varieties 
180 MIDSEASON GIANT. Large PodsandFine 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 41% 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 delicious 
and tender. They mature at practically the same time as Alderman 
and are very popular with many growers. 
Pkt. 10c; 44 Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 85c; 74% Lbs. $2.40; 15 Lbs. $4.50. 
185 ROGERS GILBO. (2 ft.) 70 days. Large Pods, Superior Qual- 
ity. The vines are robust and the pods 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 vigorous and bear an abundance of big 
pods. Pods 41% to 5 inches long, containing 8 to 9 large peas of 
superb quality. This variety is definitely hardier and can be planted 
earlier than most wrinkled peas of this class. We highly recommend 
it for both home use and market. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 85c; 714 Lbs. $2.55; 15 Lbs. $4.80. Lincoln Peas 
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 314 in. long, and closely packed with 8 to 9 peas of medium size 
and superb quality. They mature several days before Alderman and are produced in pairs near the top of 
the vines so that they can be easily picked. 
# , o In our opinion this is one of the most delicious peas grown and we always plant an extra lot for our own 
Midseason Giant ie “ you have not grown Lincoln, try some in your garden this year. They are wonderful for both canning 
and freezing. 
Delicious large peas. Pkt. 10c; 14 Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c; 714 Lbs. $2.55; 15 Lbs. $4.80. 
The tall growing peas produce enormous crops in comparatively small 
space if given support for the vines. Many growers use brush stuck in the 
ground along the row, and others use chicken wire or a light trellis. When 
grown this way they are more productive and much easier to pick. 
152 ALDERMAN. one ft.) 72 days. The Best Tall Variety. 
his is an improvement on the old Telephone 
pea, and it is by far the best variety of this type, yielding more than any 
other kind. The vines are of robust growth, bearing immense pointed 
pods often 5 inches long, containing 8 to 10 large peas. The quality is 
excellent and they hold up remarkably well. In many sections of New 
England and at high elevations where the nights are cool, they can be 
planted late to mature in midsummer and thus prolong the season. 
When the vines are given support, they produce astonishing crops of 
delicious peas.
