60-DAY WONDERS- they graduate young and tender 
GREEN GIANT BRAND 
GREAT BIG TENDER SWEET PEAS
10 DAYS School starts. Only a few days after planting, tender young shoots push through the rich earth. 
20 DAYS Budding student. Green Giant scientists keep a record of each day's sun and rain on growing fields. 
60 DAYS Graduation day! The tender youngsters are picked and packed in three short hours, vine- fresh. Only the dewdrops get away! 
Lady wanted to know why peas right out of her . . own garden didn’t taste as good as ours. 
Thank you, ma'am. We've had a lot of professors come up here to the Green Giant country to study the answer to that one. You see, we have special ways of making the soil richer so that our vines grow faster. So, we can pick good-sized peas that are still babies in tenderness. 
What gets these pea scientists is the way we know in advance just when our peas reach their one fleeting moment of perfect flavor. That comes about 60 days after planting-maybe at midnight, maybe at dawn. Whenever it comes, that's when we pick 'em! 
"60-day wonders" -that's what the professor fellows call them. See what you think.
