79 days. Extremely large pods, 5 to 534 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. _

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 
covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Double rows should be spaced 
about 2%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 Ib. 100 ft. 

EDIBLE-PODDED or 
SUGAR PEAS | 
PODS ARE COOKED LIKE SNAP BEANS pe 
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 snapbeans, _ 
seeds may he 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. {oy ae ae ©
