Prices on all kinds of Peas in Quantity subject to advance without notice. Add 15c. per quart extra if to be sent by mail. 
One quart will plant 100 feet of drill. One and one-half bushels to the acre. 
CULTURE.—Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general crop a rich deep loam, or inclin- 
ing to clay is the best. When grown in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; the rows 2 to 4 
feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the 
ground can be worked in February or March ; continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then 
discontinuing until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early 
and early sorts for fall use. 
They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The 
wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, 
or they are liable to rot in the ground ; they are, however, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The 
dwarf varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forcing ; planted in rows one foot apart.
