WHICH PEA IS THE BEST? 
adarket growers must plant only the highly developed new 
varieties, in order to stay on the right side of the ledger. These 
are: For the earliest crop WELCOMH, a large podded pea with 
pods not very well filied out and of rather pale green color. 
Welcome makes a crop days shead of even the finest strain of 
Alaska, and no other pea will show the grower better profit. Mark, 
that we recommend Welcome ONLY for the earliest crop. To follow 
Welcome. Laxtonian or Model should be planted. Blue Bantam wil) 
be ready 4-5 days after Laxtonian and should be planted by every 
grower because the pods are extra large, well filled, dark green 
and vf the very finest quality. The best medium early pea is 
Potiach and for a late crop Chieftain ts hard to beat. We would 
gever touch such varieties as First and Best, Alaska, Gradua, etc, 
All these WHRD fine varieties years ago and are a poor excuse for 
peas today. We list these varieties however because there are stili 
calls for these “back numbers.” 
LITTLE MARVEL—This is a pea among peas. Has small 
pods, does not fill the basket as fast as the Laxtonian types 
of peas, yet of all early peas Little Marvel is the king. A 
standard market basket of Littls Marvel weighs three pounds 
more than a basket filled with Laxtonian type of pea. The 
customer is getting more in weight and very high quality on 
top of it. Little Marvel is a pea to grow in every case 
where quality is appreciated and rewarded. Growers that 
cater to markets in which peas are peas and the price the 
game for all, will do better growing the larger podded peas.

NEW PEA—CHIEFTAILN (70 days) 
Chieftain Pea—(Starosta) leads all otters peas, dwarf or 
tall, early or late, in 
size of pod and pro- 
ductiveness. T ke 
vines are truly bur- 
dened with large, 
broad, medium dark 
green pods, and ev- 
ery pod is well filled 
with extra large, 
tender, delicious 
sweet peas. It is the 
best apd most profit- 
able pea to grow, to 
follow Gradus or 
Laxtonian and rip- 
ens just a few days 
ahead of Telephone. 
The pods are very 
attractive in appear- 
ance, they are very 
broad and heavy, 
and soon fill the 
baskets. The vines 
are 214 feet tall, re- 
quiring no staking, 
very strong and 
sturdy of deep green 
color. The pods are 
from 4% to 6 inches 
long, and contain 
from 8 to 10 large, 
bright green peas. 
Chieftain is the 
largest podded pea 
that we have ever 
grown, and we have 
never seen so many 
pods on a vine, not 
even in the far north 
where the climate 
for the perfect de- 
velopment of peas is 
ideal. Chieftain can 
be justly called the 
Jumbo of the pea 
family and we rec- 
ommend it strongly 
as the best main 
crop variety to all, 
and especially to 
those wko wish to 
grow the largest 
sized pods for exhi- 
bition purposes. Pkt.
