MAIN CROP VARIETIES 
193 VICTORY FREEZER. (21, ft.) High Quality, Big Yields. 
67 days. Best adapted for home gardens and freezing, Victory Freezer fills the gap 
between the early and midseason peas. Not a long podded type but it produces big 
yields of fine quality peas, even in hot weather. The dark green color makes it par- 
ticularly attractive for freezing, and it is so tender and delicious that it will be a real 
treat next winter on your dinner table. 
The well-filled 3-3 44-inch blunt pods are easy to pick and ripen practically all at 
once. They are easy to shell and are among the sweetest we have eaten. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 35c; Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.15; 5 Lbs. $2.50; 15 Lbs. $5.75. 
168 LINCOLN. (2% ft.) The Sweetest Midseason Pea. 
For our own use, we prefer Lincoln to any other variety. It has exceptional sweetness, 
tenderness and flavor, and is excellent to eat fresh or frozen. The pods are medium- 
sized (3-314 in.) slender, curved and pointed, and they are tightly filled with small 
peas, up to 8 or 9 per pod. The dwarf vines are dependably productive. Lincoln is our 
best-selling home garden pea and some growers for roadside stands or markets find that 
its quality is appreciated in spite of the relatively small size. See photo on page 5. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.30; 5 Lbs. $2.85; 15 Lbs. $6.25.

contains many useful tips, and beginners get complete instructions on how 
to make the most out of their gardens. 
182 ONEIDA.(21 ft.) Delicious Garden and Freezer Pea. 68 days. Dependable big yields 
and fine quality make Oneida popular for home and market. Earlier and a better 
yielder than the large-podded late varieties, it makes a vigorous growth and produces 
fine, good-sized (314-4 in.) pods in abundance. Ideal for freezing, the dark green peas 
are tender and sweet and they fill the blunt pods tightly. A really satisfactory variety 
for the home garden and large enough for market and roadside stands where quality 
counts. Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 35c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10; 5 Lbs. $2.50; 15 Lbs. $5.75. 
180 MIDSEASON GIANT. (2 ft.) Large Pods and Fine Quality. 72 days. The best of the 
large midseason peas for both home and market. Vines are vigorous and stand up well. 
The pods are 41% to 5 inches long, broad and slightly curved; they are dark green in 
color and well filled with 8-9 big peas of wonderful flavor and tenderness. Ideal for 
market, canning or table use and excellent for freezing. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 35c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10; 5 Lbs. $2.50; 15 Lbs. $5.75. 
152 ALDERMAN. (4-5 ft.) The Best Tall Variety. 
74 days. By far the best of the tall growing peas, Alderman will yield enormous crops 
in a small space if given support for the vines. They are of robust growth, bearing 
immense pointed pods often 5 inches long, containing 8 to 10 large peas. The quality 
is excellent and they hold up remarkably well. For canning and for quick freezing, 
Alderman is unsurpassed. 
In many sections of New England and at high elevations where the nights are cool, 
they can be planted late to mature in midsummer and thus prolong the season. 
Support the vines with brush stuck in the ground along the row, chicken wire or a 
light trellis, and they produce astonishing crops. TRAIN-ETTS are ideal for the purpose.

“The results of your seed were so good compared to the rest of our plantings that we sent 
you our complete order last year. All plantings from seed did excellently but the tomato 
and pepper plants were what amazed us. Their growth and yield were amazing considering 
the hot dry summer.’’ Mrs. Robert E. Ryan, Fall River, Mass. April 8, 1953

PEANUTS 
Peanuts can be grown in the North on warm, sandy 
soil in a sheltered place with a southern exposure. 
Plant after danger of frost, in rows 21% ft. apart. If in 
hulls, space them about 8 in. apart in the row, or plant 
the shelled nuts 3 to 6 in. apart. Cover about 1% in. 
deep. The pods or nuts are borne on flower stalks but are 
formed underground. Before frost in the fall, pull the 
entire vine and hang in an open shed to cure. 
647 EARLY SPANISH. The Earliest Kind. These are not 
large peanuts but are the earliest variety and very pro- 
lific. This is decidedly the 
best kind for planting in the 
North. It is an improved 
strain with slightly larger 
size and much improved 
quality. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 35c; Lb. 65c;

Parsley takes up very little room in the garden and is always appreciated for garnishing and

Some plants can be transplanted into boxes or pots and kept in a light window for winter use.

85 days. Produces the most attractive and finest curled parsley we have ever seen, and abso- 
lutely uniform. The color is a beautiful rich deep green and there are no flat leaves. The plants

soups and stews. They can be stored in sand and used all winter. Improved market gardeners’ 
strain with uniformly smooth, thick roots 5 to 6 inches long. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 80c.
