24 ROBSON QUALITY SEED, HALL, NEW YORK 
PEAS 
Vitamins a Bc G 
1 Ib. will sow 100 ft. row 
All peas are treated with Spergon before shipment. 

Peas should be planted as soon as the frost is out of the ground, | inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart in row; 
rows from 2% to 3% feet apart, depending on variety. 
Many new varieties of peas have been introduced in the last few years. Some of them have looked very 
promising but when thoroughly tested most of them have been found to be inferior or at least no better than the 
older, standard varieties. Our records show that although the pods of Little Marvel are rather small, it usually 
will outyield other early peas and is fine for home canning, freezing, and fresh for the table. Thomas Laxton 
is the most popular commercial freezing variety. Greater Progress, Alderman, and Dwarf Alderman are grown 
extensively for the fresh market while Midseason Giant seems to stand late planting and hot weather better than 
most varieties. 
At the suggestion of the New York State Experiment Station we are adding Freezonian to our list. 
variety has been specially bred for quick-freezing. 

We still prefer Little Marvel pea for our garden. It is early, 
productive, sweet, and melts in your mouth. This picture of Ane 
was taken last summer on our trial grounds.
