PEAS 
Vitamins a BcG 
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. We have found, however, that there are two new varieties, Wando and Victory Freezer, 
that are outstanding and worthy of trial under your conditions. Wando is an excellent quality pea both fresh 
and frozen and is quite heat resistant—plantings made through the end of June mature good crops. Victory 
Freezer was developed especially for freezing and is highly recommended. 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, freez- 
ing, and fresh for the table. Frreezonian is similar to Thomas Laxton and is a good quality freezing pea. 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. 
*503 WANDO PEA: 68 days. Vines dark green, 2% 
ft. long, heavy. Pods dark green, 3 inches long, 
straight, blunt-ended and filled with 7 to 8 excellent 
quality peas. Pod and peas are about the same 
size as Little Marvel. We have tested Wando in 
our trials for four years and have found it quite 
heat resistant. Successive plantings made through 
the end of June mature good crops. Freezes well.

Many gardens are planted too late for ordinary varieties of peas 
to make a satisfactory crop. Wando is heat resistant and can 
be successfully planted much later than other kinds.
