Peas do best in a light, rich, loamy soil that has been liberally manured the previous season. Plant the smooth 
varieties as early as the ground can 
be worked. The wrinkled peas are not as hardy and should be planted 
later, but they are sweeter and better flavored. For a continuous crop, plant every two weeks—as late as Au- 
gust for a late crop. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep in double rows 2 to 3 inches apart, 2 to 3 feet between the 
double rows; stake the tall varieties with brush and work the earth toward them two or three times during 
growth. Gather as fast as they are fit to use, otherwise they will stop bearing. 1 Ib. will plant 100 ft. row; 
90 Ibs. per acre. 
IDAHO 
319. PEDIGREE EXTRA EARLY 
(50 Days) (Height 21/2 feet) All that its name 
implies, a thoroughbred pea. The pods are well 
filled, containing usually 5 to 7 beautiful green 
peas, the pods retaining their fresh green color 
long after being picked. Recommended on ac- 
count of its extreme earliness, well filled pods 
and great productiveness. 
321. WILT-RESISTANT EXTRA EARLY 
ALASKA 
(50 Days) (Height 21/2 feet) Recommended for 
its earliness and hardiness, allowing extra early 
planting; pods and peas are not large, but are 
borne in abundance. In earliness it is a close 
rival to our Pedigree Extra Early. A prime 
favorite with market growers, as it holds its 
green color so well, and almost the entire crop 
can be gathered at a single picking. 
322. LARGE PODDED ALASKA or 
AMEER 
(55 Days) (Height 22 feet) Only a few days 
later than Extra Early Alaska, but the pods and 
peas are larger, and it is more productive. The 
dark green pods are frequently borne in pairs; 
its hardiness allows earlier planting than the 
wrinkled varieties; it bears abundantly and the 
quality is good. 
323. LAXTON’S PROGRESS* 
(53 Days) (Height 15 to 18 inches) The earliest 
and one of the best of the large-podded 
wrinkled peas. Yields better than any other pea 
of equal quality; 4 to 41/2-inch pods are dark 
green, large, long and well filled with sweet 
and delicious peas. Appeals to both home 
gardeners and market growers because of its 
earliness and choice, sweet quality. 
GROWN 
329. LAXTONIAN or HUNDREDFOLD* 
(55 Days) (Sometimes called Blue Bantam) 
(Height 15 to 18 inches) A combination of 
earliness, productiveness and fine quality. A 
wrinkled pea producing large, dark green pods 
4 in. long, containing 6 to 8 large peas. There 
is no better extra early wrinkled pea. 
325. LITTLE MARVEL* 
(55 Days; height 18 inches) Among the earliest 
of the better wrinkled peas; has a stocky vine 
heavily set with dark green 3-in. pods closely 
crowded with 6 to 8 peas of exceptional quality 
and flavor. Only a few days later than extra 
early smooth seeded peas, but of better quality. 
324. NOTT’S EXCELSIOR 
(60 Days; height 15 inches) Has all the good 
qualities of the American Wonder and Premium 
Gem, but is a better yielder. The 3-in. pods 
contain 5 to 7 good sized, tender, delicious 
peas. A wonderful yielder, highly recommended. 
328. EARLY BIRD or LAXTON’S 
SUPERB 
(55 Days; height 18 to 20 inches) The earliest 
large-podded semi-wrinkled pea bearing me- 
dium dark green pods 4 to 41/2 in. long. Usually 
contain 7 to 9 large peas of good quality. 
Hardy enough to allow planting 2 weeks ahead 
of wrinkled varieties. 
332. THOMAS LAXTON* 
(55 Days) (Height 21/2 feet) An exceptionally 
fine wrinkled pea with dark green pods nearly 
4 inches long that are packed with peas, often 
7 or 8 to the pod. It is only a few days later 
than the extra early smooth peas; is quite hardy 
and very prolific. Without a superior in quality. 
Recommended for earliness, size and fine 
quality. 
SECOND EARLY and LATE PEAS 
339. DARK GREEN TELEPHONE* 
(75 Days; height 31/2 feet) A highly bred pea of 
attractive appearance and fine quality. This pea 
should not be confused with the light colored 
Telephones as generally sold. Our Telephones 
are longer and larger podded, much darker 
green and are richer in flavor. The pods gen- 
erally measure 5 to 51/2 inches long, are broad, 
straight, and are filled to capacity with big, 
tender peas, usually 6 to 8 peas to the pod. 
337. BLISS EVERBEARING* 
(70 Days; height 22 feet) If picked as the pods 
mature, the vines throw out branches bearing 
pods that mature in succession, thus prolonging 
the season. The peas are of good size, tender, 
and of fine flavor. Pods 3 inches long, and 
well filled.

Ww. WOOD & SONS : 
340. CHAMPION OF ENGLAND*

best late peas. Large, tender and _ luscious. 
Hardy and vigorous in growth; pods 4 inches 
long, broad, nearly straight dark green color. 
342. LARGE WHITE MARROWFAT 
(80 days; height 4 ft.) A big yielder for mid- 
summer and late crop. The pods contain 4 to 5 
peas, are about 3 inches long, full to the ends. 
Not as sweet as the wrinkled varieties, but the 
most productive of all garden peas very hardy. 
345. DWARF TELEPHONE or DAISY* 
(70 Days; height 2 ft.) A dwarf type of our fall 
Telephone, has all the splendid qualities of that 
fine pea, and about a week earlier. Abundant 
bearer of long broad, straight pods about 41/2

344. WOOD’S MAMMOTH LUSCIOUS 
SUGAR* 
The finest type of sugar peas. Has no 
equal for sweetness and tenderness. 
(75 days; height 41/2 feet) Really a double pur- 
pose pea, for it may be used as an edible 
podded as well as a shelled pea, and is the 
equal of the sweetest wrinkled variety. The 
pods when about half grown should be sliced 
and boiled like snap beans and served with 
butter or sauce. The pods are 5 to 6 inches 
long; 1/2 inches broad, and are produced con- 
tinuously for a long season. Requires support. 
343. DWARF GRAY SUGAR 
(75 Days) A highly productive pea growing 21/2 
feet high, bearing an abundance of sweet, ten- 
der pods about 3 inches long. Prepare for the 
table as you would snap beans. The pods are 
smaller than Mammoth Luscious; the flavor is fine; 
resistant to fusarium blight; purple blossom.

PEPPER erase 
Plant in boxes in February or March, cover !4 inch 
deep, and transplant outside in May, 18 to 24 inches 
apart, in 2 or 3-foot rows. When the ground becomes 
warm, and until July, plant outside for a late crop. 
Cultivate well and keep free of weeds. Hen manure, 
or a good garden fertilizer, worked into the soil when 
the plants are 6 in. high, will materially increase yield. 
353. RUBY GIANT or WORLD BEATER 
(115 Days) Larger than Ruby King and almost as 
early; 5 in. long by 3Y2in. across; flesh thick and 
mild. A fine pepper for home garden and market. 
357. CALIFORNIA WONDER 
(120 Days) In size it compares with Chinese 
Giant, about 4 inches across by 41/2 to 5 inches 
long, but in thickness of flesh there is no other 
pepper to compare with it. Its quarter of an 
inch thickness of flesh is not found in any other 
pepper. It is medium early; quality is the finest, 
being sweet, crisp, tender and never hot. 
352. LARGE SWEET BULL NOSE 
(120 Days) Large fruits with thick, mild flesh of 
excellent quality for salads and stuffing. Grows 
2 feet high and very productive. 
354. RUBY KING 
(110 Days) Wonderfully productive, bearing 
fruits 4/2 to 5 in. long by 3 in. across. Its 
large size and thick, mild flesh make it particu- 
larly fine for stuffing. Bright ruby red.

stuffed with meats, rice, etc., and baked; can 
be served as a salad and for canning is espe-

but fruits average larger. Plants are 24 to 30 
inches tall with vigorous growth, bearing, up- 
right fruits. Adapted to the South and _ par- 
ticularly well liked in Florida on account of the 
heavy foliage. 
358. LONG RED CAYENNE 
(125 Days) Very hot, used for pickling and dry- 
ing; 3 to 4 inches long; a profuse yielder. 
359. RED CHILI

hot peppers for pepper sauce, vinegar, pickling 
and drying. Pods 1/2 in. long.
