GARDEN ALASKA, W. R. (Smooth Seed) HC PANEL 54 
A refined strain of regular Alaska. Probably the most widely grown of all 
peas because of its heavy production of small, round, smooth peas and re- 
sistance to Fusarium wilt. It is familiar to everyone either as canned Early 
June Peas or in the home garden. Our tests indicate that, for canners, at 100 
tenderometer reading over 70% of the peas were 1, 2, and 3 sieve size. 
VINE —28 inches tall, slender, light green, uniform in growth. 
PODS—234 inches long, smooth, blunt, light green, straight, round, 5 to 7 peas. 
PEAS—Small, round, medium green, uniform. Dry seed, bluish gray-green, 
and smooth, about 2,300 per pound. 
ALASKA SUPREME, W. R. (Smooth Seed) HC PALNO 57 
A larger super-type Alaska, developing a vine four to six inches taller and of 
more vigorous, slightly coarser, growth than regular Alaska. Can be used 
farther South than regular Alaska because of its longer holding characteristic. 
Of interest to canners is the fact that at 100 tenderometer reading about 60% 
of the peas are 1, 2, and 3 sieve size, maturing slowly, requiring 3100 heat 
units to mature from 85 to 100 tenderometer reading according to our tests. 
VINE —32 to 34 inches tall, a shade darker green than regular Alaska. 
PODS—2%4 to 3 inches long, of same shape and general appearance as Alaska, 
except slightly longer, 6 to 8 peas. 
PEAS—Small round, medium green, and uniform. Dry seed, medium small, 
bluish gray-green, round and smooth, about 2,150 per pound. 
ALASKA DARK GREEN (Smooth Seed) Cc PALAS 54 
A new variety with pods and berries darker green in color than those of other 
Alaska strains. At 100 tenderometer reading about 60% of the peas are l, 
2, and 3 sieve size according to our tests. 
VINE —28 inches tall, slender, shade darker green than regular Alaska, uni- 
form in growth. 
PODS—234 inches long, smooth, blunt, dark green, straight, round, 5 to 7 peas. 
PEAS—Small, round, dark green, uniform. Dry seed, bluish gray-green and 
smooth, about 2,300 per pound. 
ALDERMAN or Dark Telephone or Telephone HMSF PYREY 75 
Heavy production, excellent quality, attractive pods and wilt resistance make 
this an excellent variety for home, market, quick freezing and shipping. Ac- 
cording to our test 85% of the peas are sieve sizes 5, 6, and 7 at 100 tender- 
ometer reading. 
VINE —4%% to 5 feet tall, dark green, coarse, hardy, prolific grower. 
PODS—4% to 51% inches long, single, broad, plump, well-filled, dark green, 
pointed, straight, 8 to 10 peas. 
PEAS—Large, dark green, tender, sweet, excellent flavor, of finest quality. 
Dry seed, squarish to flattened, wrinkled, light green in color, about 
1,425 per pound. 
AMEER or Claudit or Mammoth Pod Alaska HM PANGE 58 
A fairly large pod of Alaska type; earliness and cold tolerance make it suit- 
able for home and market gardeners. 
VINE —30 to 36 inches, uniform in height, light green. 
PODS—3 to 3% inches long, single, medium green, blunt, somewhat curved, 
7 to 8 peas. 
PEAS—Round, light green, medium quality. Dry seed, bluish green, round, 
and smooth, about 2,000 per pound.
