PEAS 
A packet of seed will sow about 15 feet of row, a pound 100 feet. Two to four bushels per acre. 
A pound is about a pint and 15 Ibs. equals a peck. 
SOW PLENTY OF PEAS 
There is no more delicious vegetable than fresh, young green peas picked right off the vines in your 
garden and cooked immediately. If the garden is small, sow all the land you can spare. When you are eating 
ae enjoying luscious green peas from your own garden you will not regret the space they take. After the 
peas are gone, the ground can be used for late cabbage, turnips, spinach, lettuce, etc. 
Peas should be planted as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. Make a trench about 2 in. deep 
and scatter the peas just so they are not touching each other. The rows should be 21% to 3 ft. apart. 
It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same time so they will mature in succession. This is 
better than to sow one kind three or four times during the season. See collections on next page. 
At the prices here quoted, we prepay transportation charges on peas to places in the United 
States. For larger quantities write for special prices. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Peas. 
(22 ft.) 59 days. Without question, this well 
known and popular variety is recognized as 
the best early kind, both for home garden 
and market. It combines earliness, high qual- 
ity, large pods and heavy yield. The pods are 
31% to 4 in. long and filled with large peas that 
are very tender and sweet. The vines are 
strong, bear heavily and produce big crops 
right from the start. There is nothing quite 
so delicious as these large succulent peas right 
out of your garden early in the season, and 
our strain of World’s Record will give you the 
biggest and best early peas to be obtained any- 
where. Be sure to plant some this year, as there 
are no better peas in this class.

158 GRADUS also called Prosperity. (3 ft.) 60 days. Popular early large podded pea, closely

peas which are very sweet and tender.

canning and unsurpassed for eating fresh. See full description on page 6. :

Greater Progress 
160 GREATER PROGRESS. (18 in.) 62 days. Large Podded Early Type. A 
wonderful variety, introduced by us several years 
ago, and now the leading large early pea, for both home and market growers. It has re- 
placed the old Laxton’s Progress because it has proved to be earlier and a better producer, 
and the handsome pods are more uniform and attractive. 
The vines are dwarf—only about 18 inches high, but they are literally loaded with 
large, dark green, well-filled pods 4 to 41% inches long. The peas are sweet and tender and 
the pods are the most uniformly large and attractive we have seen in a pea of this type. 
If you want the best in large-podded peas, plant Greater Progress.

190 THOMAS LAXTON. (3 ft.) 62 days. Delicious Early Variety. Fine, high quality 
peas for home, market garden and commercial use. Thomas Laxton has been justly 
famous for years, but now we strongly recommend that our customers grow the new 
Freezonian, an improved strain of the same type. (See description above and on page 6.)

170 LITTLE MARVEL. Large Podded Strain. (15 in.) 62 days. This pea lives up to its 
name—it is a real “‘‘marvel’’ for home gardens because of its tremendous yields and 
delicious quality. Although not a large-podded variety, its pods are now broader and 
slightly longer than when originally introduced and the peas are considerably larger. They 
are just as sweet and fine flavored as ever and they stand longer than most kinds without 
getting tough. The dwarf vines are wonderfully prolific, producing great quantities of 
tightly filled, deep green pods, averaging a good three inches long, and ripening shortly 
after World’s Record. Well adapted for quick freezing.
