Peas That Can Be Eaten Pod and All j BY DEAN HALLIDAY Distributed by Central Press Association The edible-podded or sugar pear are not 'commonly grown in the home garden but because of their two-in-one goodness they should be tried. These peas are cooked pod and all, just like snap beans. In fact, they possess the tender ness of snap beans and the flavor of fresh sweet peas. Another feature of these peas is that if the pods develop on the vines too fast for use as snap beans, the seeds can be eaten as shelled peas. The earliest of the sugar peas is Dwarf Gray Sugar which ma tures in 65 days. The plants only grow from 2 to 2 1-2 feet high, but they produce pods 2 1-2 to 3 inches long. Mammoth Melting Sugar, a 75 daj’ sugar pea, is illustrated in the accompanying Garden-Graph. It produces pods which arp 4 to 4 1-2 inches in length, fleshy and ten der. The vines grow 4 to 5 feet f tall. It is not necessary to give the early dwarf varieties of peas any jupports to climb upon, yet they seem to respond better if given a little “brush” to climb over. As illustrated, twigs about three feet tall can be used. Birch, privet cut tings or other “twiggy” branches make good pea vine supports. Vines of the taller growing va rieties of peas should be given supports of string or wire to grow upon. Rows for peas should be 2 1-2 to 3 feet apart for best results. Peas are planted so early that it is wise to treat the seed with cuprocide or spergon, to protect it from rot organisms which often attack untreated seed and kill it before it can germinate. Aphids or plant lice will some times attack pea vines, and te quire spraying with a nicotire snrav to hit and kill them Miss • Hilburn, Mr. Diedesch Are Wed Here In a ceremony attended by friends and relatives, Miss Francis Ellen Hilburn daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Hilburn, of Currie, and Robert Kay Diedesch, son of Mrs. R. K. Diedesch and the late Mr. Diedesch. of Chicago, were united in marriage on Saturday, March 15, 5 o’clock at the First Baptist church in Wilmington. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles A. Maddry, who used the double ring ceremony. Altar vases of white gladioli and calla lilies were used and the church was lighted by candles. Prior to the ceremony a pro gram of nuptial music was played by Henri Emurian. The bridal couple entered the church together unattended- The bride was dressed in a two piece suit of ’ striped. wool with brown accessorius *nd wore a corsage of red rose buds. Immediately following the cere mony, an informal reception was held at the home of Mrs. William Tusch, 213 South Second st. Here the traditional three tiered wed ding cake with the miniature bride and groom decorations, was cut by the bridal couple. The guests were served cake and punch by Misses Sadie and Geraldine Hil burn, F.lnor Corbett and Adell Hall. Later in the evening the couple left by train for their future home in Chicago. Mrs. Diedesch graduated from the Atkinson High school and at tend Campbell and Mars Hill col leges. For the past two years she has been employed at the A.C.L. office in Wilmington. Mr. Diedesch graduated from Chicago High school and served six years with the Marines in the Aleutian Islands, South Pacific and the occupation of Japan..
