For first early Peas sow in a light, rich soil, as early in March or April 

 as the ground can be worked; for later varieties, sow in April or May. Dis- 

 continue sowing from June to August, after which, by sowing an extra early 

 sort, a good crop can generally be secured. As Peas suffer considerably from 

 drought during the hot summer months, it will be found of great benefit 

 to sow in a trench six inches in depth, covering the Peas to a depth of two 

 inches. As soon as sufficient growth has been made draw the earth about the 

 vines. In this way more moisture is kept about the roots than if sown on the 

 level. The wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the smooth sorts and should 



be planted later, owing to their liability 

 to rot in the ground. 



One quart to 100 feet of 

 drill. Two bushels to an acre 

 in drills. 



EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 



Those marked thus * are

CURRIE'S EXTRA EARLY 

 CHALLENGE. 



No extra early Pea has ever 

 given the universal satisfac- 

 tion that this one has. Grown 

 alongside other extra early 

 varieties the Challenge not 

 only proved earlier, but much 

 more productive. It is an 

 enormous bearer and very 

 early, the vines may he 

 cleared off in two pickings 

 and the ground prepared for 

 another crop before other 

 early varieties come into use. 

 The pods are large and well 

 filled with round Peas of fine 

 flavor. Pkt. 10c: pint 15c; 

 quart 25c; % peck 90c; peck 

 $1.65; bushel $6.00 



Alaska — Extra early of supe- 

 rior quality. The vines grow 

 about 2 1 ,4 feet and produce 

 abundantly. Pkt. 10c; pint 

 15c: quart 25c; y-> peck 90c; 

 peck $1.65; bushel $6.00
