EDIBLE-PODDED or SUGAR PEAS 
THE PODS ARE COOKED AND EATEN LIKE SNAP BEANS 
Sugar Peas possess the tenderness and fleshy podded qualities of a snap bean and the 
flavor and sweetness of fresh green peas. When young the pods are cooked like snap beans; 
the peas are not shelled. At this stage, pods are stringless, brittle and succulent. Should 
pods develop too fast for use as snap beans, seeds may be eaten as shelled peas and are of 
the best flavor before they have reached full size. The following varieties are entirely free 
of fiber or parchment. Vines of the taller growing Mammoth Melting Sugar Pea should 
be given support of string or brush to climb upon for best results. 
5184 Mammoth Melting Sugar © 75 days. Well-known, productive 
and resistant to fusarium wilt. The fleshy, tender, 4 to 4% in. pods are light green, some- 
times twisted, broad and blunt-ended, stringless, sweet and delicious. Pods are often sliced for 
cooking. The dried seed is large and white. Most widely used variety for home gardens; 
grown for market in some sections. Vines grow 4 to 4% ft. tall and produce a heavy crop.
