NOTE REGARDING OLD VARIETIES OF PEAS. We have discontinued several of the old varieties, such as 
Champion of England, Duke of Albany, White and Black-Eyed Marrowfat, Strategem, Bliss, Evergreen Little Gem 
and other antiquated varieties still being called for. We recommend that you try the newer and better sorts. In 
Connecticut, for the past several years, early sorts have done better than late, for they are through before hot weather 
arrives. Peas do not thrive in hot weather.

Peas belong to the legume family, and should be inoculated with Cultures, enabling them to 
improve the soil supply of nitrogen. This should be taken advantage of, especially in large plant- 
ings. See page 87.
