PEAS 



One pound to 100 feet of drill; 100 lbs. to the acre in drills. 



Sow the Extra Early round seeded varieties as early in spring as the ground 

 can be worked, and the wrinkled sorts later, when the ground is warmer, as they 

 rot readily in cold, wet soil early in the season. Sowings should be made at inter- 

 vals until the end of May. Discontinue sowing until August, as Peas suffer very 

 much during the hot summer months, after which the early kinds may be planted 

 with good results. 



Varieties marked * are wrinkled. 



If 1 lb. packages are shipped by express deduct 5c per lb.
