PEAS 
One pound plants 50 feet 
CuLtTuRE: Peas mature earliest in light, rich soil. For general crop use a 
rich, deep loam. When grown in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches 
apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties 
as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; plant for a suc- 
cession every two weeks until June, then discontmue until the middle of 
August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing extra-early and early 
sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during 
the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small, round 
sorts and if planted early should have a dry soil or they are liable to rot in 
the ground. They are, however, the sweetest and best-flavored varieties. 
The dwarf sorts are best suited for small gardens. 
Tasco Market. (58 days.) Its extreme earliness and fine quality have 
established this kind among growers anxious to get into market with 
high-quality Peas first. Plants are dwarf and need no support. Pods 
measure 4 to 5 inches and are packed with high-quality sweet Peas. 
It is a heavy cropper, too. Pkt. 10c.; Ib. 35c.; 3 to 24 Ibs. @ 24c. per 
Ib.; 25 to 99 Ibs. @ 21c.; 100-Ib. bag @ 19c. 
Pride. (65 days.) A midseason variety ideal for planting along with 
Tasco Market for a succession of Peas. Pride grows 30 inches tall and 
yields a quantity of straight, plump green pods each containing 7 to 
9 Peas. Pkt. 10c.; Ib. 35c.; 3 to 24 Ibs. @ 24c. per Ib.; 25 to 99 Ibs. @ 
21c.; 100-Ib. bag @ 19c. 
Little Marvel. (60 days.) The most prolific Pea available. Dwarf 
plants set large numbers of small but tightly packed pods. Eating 
quality very good. Where yield is of top importance, plant this sort. 
It’s very early, too. Pkt. 10c.; Ib. 35c.; 3 to 24 Ibs. @ 23c. per Ib.; 
25 to 99 Ibs. @ 20c.; 100-Ib. bag @ 18c. 
Laxton’s Progress. (62 days.) This fine sort has been a favorite of 
market growers for many years. Selective breeding has given us ex- 
tremely large pods, dwarf plants, heavy production without sacrifice 
of earliness. Compare our strain with others; you will find it hard to 
beat. Pkt. 10c.; Ib. 35c.; 3 to 24 Ibs. @ 24c. per Ib.; 25 to 99 Ibs. @ 
21c.; 100-Ib. bag @ 19c.
