79 days. Extremely large pods, 5 to 5% 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.

passed flavot for home, market, shipping and freezing. Does best 
-in cooler regions as do all the largest podded varieties. .

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. Suit- 
able for quick freezing as peas hold their tenderness well.

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. cae 
A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of single row; 1 Ib. 100 ft. : : 6 T *P ELAN ata
