The natural flavor, color and texture have been wonderfully preserved, especially in such varieties as Dark-podded Thomas Laxton, Asgrow No. 40 and the larger sieve sizes of Alderman. By breeding pedigreed stocks through generations of pure-line cultures, we are continually improving existing leading varieties of peas. This intensive process, supported by careful inspection and checking of field crops, produces exceptionally high grade stocks. In addition to maintaining standard varieties, new strains are developed by means of hybridization and selec- tion, which enable us to combine desirable plant characters such as disease resistance, produc- tiveness, and quality of two or more parents in new and more useful introductions. We have indicated in the number of days from planting to picking, average results under normal rainfall conditions. These figures will be of assistance in comparing the relative earli- ness or lateness of the various varieties when planted in any locality. Culture: Peas are grown successfully on various types of well-drained, non-acid, mellow soils but deep fertile loam with some clay mixture is best under rainfall conditions. In western areas, under irrigation, lava ash and loess with good humus content produce the most satisfac- tory crops. Fall plowing is recommended, also application of lime -where needed.

When com- mercial fertiliser is used, direct contact between seed and fertiliser should be avoided. 3j4 to 4Y-2. bushels are required to plant an a
