770 Fordhook Wonder © — Ideal quality pea for all purposes : 
79 days.’ Extremely large pods, 5 to 5% in. long, nearly round, dark green, and contain up 
to 10 extra-large peas that are sweet and most delicious. Quality is excellent; 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, 28 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. Very productive. =

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

peas can be grown satisfactorily, Potlatch is valuable for home and market; 
desirable for freezing and shipping. Quite resistant to fusarium wilt.

To enjoy the sweet, delicious flavor of peas, pick pods before they 
become fully developed and while still green; then cook as soon as 
possible, because they lose flavor, sweetness and quality rapidly after 
picking, the sugar changing to starch. Grow your own and get the 
real, sweet flavor of garden fresh vegetables at their very best. 

How to Grow Peas 
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 eS 
covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Double rows should be spaced 
about 2% ft. apart. For best results, provide supports (wire, 
brush or string) for the tall-growing varieties to climb upon. 
A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of single row; 1 lb. 100 ft.

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 
given support of string or brush to climb upon for best results. \ x
