THE OLD GARDENER 
ON PEAS... 
The sweetest garden peas are grown 
during the cool of the year, Peas lose 
their delicious flavor mighty fast after 
harvest, so it is best to cook them at 
once, or store them unshelled in your 
coolest spot until ready for them. 
Of course, you can’t be expected to 
know how much better garden-fresh 
peas are over market peas until you 
grow some yourself! 
The trick in growing peas is to sow 
them early enough so the crop can 
mature during cool weather, and at the 
same time, get by without frost damage 
to the blossoms and young pods. The 
vines stand considerable cold. 
You'll enjoy a long picking season of 
top quality peas by sowing a row each 
of either Little Marvel, or Laxton’s 
Progress; then follow with Alderman, 
or Dwarf Telephone; and end up with 
Giant Stride or Improved Stratagem. 
Most of these are resistant to wilt 
disease. Alderman is the only one in 
the group that you'll have to stake. 
Peas stop bearing if you don’t pick the 
vines clean. 
Alaska or Petits Pois is a dandy, smooth- 
seeded, very early canning variety that 
can’t be drowned by rain. 
‘Treating the seed of wrinkled varieties 
with Spergon will prevent their rotting 
in the ground if a heavy rain hits them 
before they can sprout. 
If you've wondered where the Chinese 
get those tender, sugary peas that are 
eaten without shelling, pod and all, ask 
for Melting Sugar or Edible Pod.
