770 Fordhook WonderO 
Named after Burpee’s Fordhook Farms 
79 days. Extremely large pods, 5 to 51% in. long, nearly round, 
dark green, and contain up to 10 extra-large peas that are sweet 
and most delicious. Quality is excellent; very good for freezing. 
For a main-crop home garden pea, or for markets where size of 
pods is important, we recommend Fordhook Wonder for any 
section where late peas do well. Plants are very vigorous, pro- 
ductive, dark green, coarse, 28 in. tall; peas are of the finest 
flavor and they retain their sweetness for an unusually long 
time after the pods are ready to pick. Valuable for shipping.

6 ft. tall and require support. Very productive over a long bearing

_ 79 days. Vines grow about 24 in. tall, are stout and invariably bear 
a good crop of attractive large pods, 4% in. long, broad, slightly 
curved, and pointed, each containing 7 to 9 large, round, luscious 
» peas. A standard market variety and popular medium-tall, large- 
podded pea for the home garden as the vines are short and -bushy 
enough not to require support. Suitable for quick freezing.

green peas. In sections where late peas can be grown satisfac- 
torily, Potlatch is valuable for home and market; desirable for 
freezing and shipping. Quite resistant to fusarium wilt.

How to Grow Peas 
Peas make their best growth during cool weather’so that the first planting of seed should be 
made as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. Sow an early variety two or three 
times at 10-day intervals or choose from the smooth-seeded early, wrinkled-seeded early 
and main-crop varieties. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop. Planting space available 
more or less governs the number of sowings and the choice between tall and dwarf varieties. 
Peas are usually planted in double rows 3 in. apart, the seeds dropped 2 in. apart and 
covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Double rows should be spaced about 2% ft. apart. For best — 
results, provide supports (wire, brush or string) for the tall-growing varieties to climb upon, . 
A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of single row; 1 Ib.,100 ft. es
