The importance of peas as a food is emphasized when we realize how extensively they are 
grown and how often they appear on our menu. It is a tremendous industry which places a big 
responsibility upon the seedsmen to have available sufficient quantities of seed true to variety.and 
bred to produce a profitable crop in a given locality for a definite purpose whether it be for the 
gardener, shipper, canner or freezer. 
In accepting our share of the responsibility we carry on a perpetual breeding program to 
constantly improve, instill disease resistance, and develop new varieties to meet the ever changing 
demand. The carefully chosen production areas for our Keystone Pea Seed is indicative of their 
excellent quality. 
Peas are a cool season crop. Their best performance will be obtained when planted as early 
as weather conditions will permit and on a soil of high fertility.
