(60 days.) Considered by many the best all- 
around early wrinkled Pea for a spring or 
fall crop, either for the market or the home 
garden. It has a vigorous hardy constitution 
resistant to Fusarium Wilt, is remarkably pro- 
ductive and matures the crop with remark- 
able uniformity. The pods, of our market 
gardeners strain are dark green, blunt at the 
end, and average about 31/4 inches in length, 
and usually contain 8 or 9 large Peas of the 
best quality. Good for canning and freezing.

Two pounds (one quart) will sow a row 100 feet long; 75 to 100 Ibs. for an acre. 
Smooth seeded varieties weigh 60 pounds to the bushel, and 
wrinkled-seeded varieties weigh 56 pounds to the bushel. 
Culture: Dry and moderately rich loam is best adapted to early Peas, while heavy soil is preferable 
The early varieties are usually planted about 2 inches deep, from the middle of 
January to the middle of March; wrinkled Peas, being so liable to rot in cold, wet ground, they 
should not be sown before the latter part of February.

allowing 2/2 feet for the ordinary extra earlies. Commence cultivating when the Peas are 2 inches 
high, and draw the earth up on each side to help in supporting the vine. 
a fall crop of Peas may be planted between the middle of August and the tenth of September.
