The importance of peas as a food is emphasized when we realize how extensively they 
_ are grown and how often they appear on our menu. It is a tremendous responsibility 
upon the seedsmen to have available sufficient quantities of seed, true to variety and 
_ bred to produce a profitable crop in a given locality, for a definite purpose, whether it be 
_ for the gardener, shipper, canner or freezer. 
In accepting our share of the responsibility we constantly carry on a perpetual breeding 
program to improve, instill disease resistance, and develop new varieties to meet the ever 
| changing demand. The carefully chosen production areas for our Keystone Seed Peas 
| is indicative of their excellent quality. 
Peas are a cool season crop. Best performance will be obtained when they are planted 
as early as weather conditions will permit and on soil of high fertility. 
Additional information as to sieve size and heat unit requirements will be furnished
