Nurseries (Horticulture) Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Nursery stock Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Vegetables Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Fruit Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Gardening Tennessee Memphis Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Poultry Equipment and. 24 Asgrow Seeds are Well-bred PEAS Peas are cool weather plants and should be sown just as soon as the ground can be worked. The early, small, smooth-seeded varieties should be planted first; the large, wrinkled-seeded sorts, which are sweeter and of better quality, are not so hardy and should be sown when the ground is a little warmer. If hile peas make a better showing on poor soil than most garden crops, it pays to prepare a good seed bed, properly enriched. Allow 2-3 lb. per 100 ft. of double roiv; 2 bushels per acre. Plant 2"-3" deep in 8" double rows, 2 ft. apart for the dwarf sorts, 3 ft. for the tall. Cultivate regu- larly and provide the tall sorts with brushwood or other support. Commercial growers have found it highly profitable to run a strip of fertilizer alongside the rows about 3" aivay from the growing plants. The letters indicate that the Asgrow strain of the variety so marked is resistant to wilt. Continual work on the Asgrow breeding station and the careful supervision of growing seed crops in the high, clean, mountain districts of the West insure a uniform standard of high quality. Particular attention is given not only to freedom from disease infection but also to purity of strain, uniformity and yield. Smooth-Seeded Alaska : 57 days. Very early, hardy and productive. Light green pods 3" long with 6-8 bluish green peas. The Asgrow pure-lined strain is well known for good pod size and yield. Fully resistant to fusarium wilt. First and Best : 58 days. Asgrow originated. Through the South the favorite for early crop- ping. Plump, short, light green pods containing 6-7 peas. White Marrowfat : 80 days. Plants about 5 ft. tall, vigoro
