Early Bird or 
Laxton’s Superb Peas 
LARGE ALASKA, AMEER OR CLAUDIT 
63 Days—A popular pea with ceded for early 
planting. Vines medium green, 36 ins. tall, a heavy 
cropper. Pods green, 34% ins. long, somewhat curved, 
pointed and contain 7 to 8 peas of fine flavor, 
‘\ 
2 lbs. per 100 Ft.; 2 Bus. per Acre 
Culture—Prepare well-enriched soil and plant in 
rows 2 to 3 ft. apart, 1 to 2 ins. deep ahd 1 to 2 ins. 
apart in the row. The hardier, smooth-seeded peas 
will stand freezing weather without rotting in cold 
‘ground and may be planted as early in the Spring 
as the ground can be worked. Follow with the 
wrinkled seeded sorts which are not as hardy and 
have a tendency to rot if the ground is too cold and 
wet. Plant several varieties which will mature one 
after another; also make successive plantings every 
week to the end of Spring. Peas are a cool weather 
crop and require plenty of moisture. Discontinue 
plantings after the middle of May until the middle 
of August when an extra early sort can be sown. 
Truckers never stake peas, but it is best for the 
home gardener to supply brush or supports for the 
tall growing varieties. Cultivate until the vine inter- 
feres with the work.
