PEAS 
1% lbs. to 100 ft., 90 to 180 Ibs. per acre 
FIRST EARLY VARIETIES 
Alaska. (55, days.) This variety is ex- 
tremely early. The round pods, 2% 
inches long, contain 5 to 8 peas which 
are ready for use in about 55 days. The 
peas are small, round, and tender. The 
vines are 2% to 3 feet tall. 
Gradus. (55 to 62 days.) A very popular 
second early, large podded variety for 
home use and market. Vines 36 inches 
tall, medium green, stocky. Pods single, 
broad, plump, pointed, medium green; 
contain 8 to 10 large, delicious peas. (F'z.) 
Laxton’s Progress. (60 days.) A little 
earlier than other dwarf large podded 
peas, this variety is generally considered 
the best of its class. The blue green pods 
are often more than 4 inches long and 
contain 8 dark green peas of finest qual- 
ity. The seeds are large, wrinkled green 
and cream. (EF z.) 
Little Marvel. (64 days.) Outstanding 
among dwarf peas for the exceptional 
quality and yield. Valuable for home gar- 
den and early market. Vines dark green, 
18 inches tall, stocky. Pods single and 
double, dark green, blunt, plump, well 
filled with 7 to 8 tender peas. 
MAIN CROP 
Mature to pick in about 75 days 
Tall Telephone or Alderman. A hand- 
some, large podded variety. Unexcelled 
for home gardens, for local market and 
for shipping. Bears immense crops. Wilt 
resistant. Pods single, very broad, plump, 
straight, dark green, pointed, contain 8 
to 10 peas of highest quality. (Fz.) 
Dwarf Telephone. Only about 2 feet tall, 
otherwise resembling Alderman. The 
pods are well filled with peas of the same 
good quality. It is an excellent variety 
% oz. to 100 ft., 1 to 2 lbs. per acre 
Culture, soil and temperature require- 
ments are about the same as for egg- 
plant. A moderate dressing of guano, 
poultry manure, or complete commercial 
fertilizer, hoed into the soil after the 
plants are 6 to 8 inches tall, will be very 
beneficial. 
California Wonder. Thickness of flesh 
alone, which is often 34 of an inch, places 
this sweet pepper above all others. It is 
crisp and juicy, too, without a trace of 
pungency. Vigorous growing plants bear 
a heavy yield of blocky fruits that be- 
come as much as 5 inches long and 4 
inches wide. 
Long Red Cayenne. This well known, 
medium early pepper is especially good 
for drying purposes. The fruit is 4 inches 
to follow the early peas in the home gar- 
den. Seeds large, green, wrinkled. 
Thomas Laxton (62 days). Excellent all- 
purpose variety. Plant deep green and 
medium heavy. The single, deep green 
plump pods contain 7-8 large, tender 
peas of high quality. Seeds of medium 
size, cream and green.

PUMPKIN 
4 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 lbs. per acre 
Pumpkins are typically American, and 
pumpkin pie is one of our truly American 
dishes. They are less sensitive to un- 
favorable conditions of soil and weather 
than melons or cucumbers, but they are 
cultivated in about the same way. 
Kentucky Field or Dickenson. Fruits 
very large, flattened, furrowed. Skin 
creamy buff; flesh extremely thick, deep 
salmon-yellow and of good quality. De- 
pendably early and heavily productive. 
Good for canning. Squash bug resistant. 
Large Yellow or Connecticut Field. This 
sort is grown largely in the corn field for 
stock, but the flesh is moderately fine 
grained, highly flavored, and very good 
for pies. The fruits weigh about 20 
pounds and are a deep orange yellow. 
Sugar or New England Pie. The earliest 
and best variety for pies. Fruits com- 
monly 6 inches long and 8 to 9 inches in 
diameter; flattened, furrowed. Skin 
smooth, of a rich, reddish-orange color; 
rind hard. Flesh thick and orange yellow. 
Winter Luxury. This variety is very 
popular for the home garden. The fruit 
matures in 75 to 80 days, weighs 8% 
pounds, and is nearly round. The skin is 
light yellow with a russet tinge and 
finely netted; the flesh is rich creamy yel- 
low, thick, sweet, and finely flavored.
