Peas 
A packet of seed will sow about 10. feet of row; 1 pound 100 feet; 120 pounds will sow an acre. 
What is more delicious than young green Peas freshly picked off the vine and cooked immediately. Plant 
Peas to eat fresh and to can. Sow thickly, allowing 12 to 16 plants to grow per foot of row. Seeded in 
early spring, cover with 1 to 2 inches of pulverized soil. Many gardeners increase their yields by using 
seed inoculants. (See page 59.) The sowing of early, medium and late varieties is preferred to successive 
seedings of one variety. Tall growing and late varieties will need support such as chicken wire or brush. 
186 FREEZONIAN PEA 
(Improved Thomas Laxton) 
Early and Sweet 
(62 days.) For sweetness and delicious flavor there is no 
finer early Pea than the standard Thomas Laxton, and now 
Freezonian brings you a larger and huskier strain of the 
same type with the seme superb quality. It is wilt-resistant, 
with taller, more vigorous vines, slightly larger and more 
uniform pods, and even better yie'ds. Ripening about a day 
later, the pods are well filled with large, tender Peas, per- 
fectly adapted for quick freezing, as well as canning and 
fresh use. Freezonian is a variety of the very finest quality, 
high in sugar and unusually tender. Yet it is hardy, pro- 
ductive and dependable, and we highly recommend it for 
home gardens as well as market and roadside stands. Pkt.,

large peas of good quality. The vine is dwarf, 16 to 18 inches, World’s Record 
producing larger pods of more uniform size. Now recognized 
as the best early main crop variety. It has now replaced the old 
Laxton’s Progress because it has proved to be earlier and a 
better producer.
