75 days. Extremely large pods, 5 to 5% in. long, broad, slightly 
curved, pointed, very dark green, and contain up to 10 extra- 
large peas that are sweet and most delicious. Quality is excel- 
lent; very good for freezing. For a main-crop home garden pea, 
or for markets where size of pods is important, we recommend 
Fordhook Wonder for any section where late peas do well. 
Plants are very vigorous, dark green, coarse, 24 to 30 in. tall; 
peas are of the finest flavor and they retain their sweetness for 
an unusually long time after the pods are ready to pick.

and more in length, straight, pointed; well filled with 8 to 10 extra-large, 
extra-sweet peas which hold their green color well in cooking. An ideal, high 
quality pea of unsurpassed flavor for home, market, shipping and freezing. 
Does best in cooler regions as do all the largest podded varieties. .

crop of attractive large pods, 4% in. long, broad, slightly curved, and 
pointed, each containing 7 to 9 large, round, luscious peas of the most 
excellent quality and fine flavor. A standard market variety and popular 
medium-tall, large-podded pea for the home garden as the vines are short 
and bushy enough not to require support. Suitable for quick freezing.

varieties. A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of row; 1 lb. 100 ft. 
given support of string or brush to climb upon for best results. 
Peas make their best growth during cool weather so that the first planting of seed should be 
made as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. Sow an early variety two or three times at 
10-day intervals or choose from the smooth-seeded early, wrinkled-seeded early and main-crop 
varieties. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop. Planting space available more or less governs 
the number of sowings and the choice between tall and dwarf varieties. Peas are usually planted 
in double rows 3 in. apart, the seeds dropped 2 in. apart and covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Double 
rows should be spaced about 2% ft. apart. For best results, provide supports for the tall-growing

EDIBLE-PODDED or SUGAR PEAS | 
PODS ARE COOKED LIKE SNAP BEANS 
Sugar Peas possess the tenderness and fleshy podded qualities of a snap bean and the flavor and sweet- 
ness of fresh green peas. When young the pods are cooked like snap beans; the peas are not shelled. 
At this stage, pods are stringless, brittle and succulent. Should pods develop too fast for use as snap beans, 
seeds may be eaten as shelled peas and are of the best flavor before they have reached full size. The fol- 
lowing varieties are entirely free of fiber or parchment. Vines of the taller growing varieties should be
