 proves the flavor.

PEAS 



For quantity prices write for 

 market-growers' list 



One to two pounds will plant 100 feet of row; 

 120 pounds, an acre. 



Culture. Peas mature earliest in light, 

 rich soil. When grown in garden sow in 

 double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; the rows 2 

 to 4 feet apart. Sow the extra-early varieties 

 as early as the ground can be worked in 

 February or March; plant for a succession 

 every two weeks until June. For a fall crop 

 plant about the middle of August. The 

 wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the 

 small, round sort 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. 



Extra-Early Dwarf Varieties 



561. American Wonder. Wrinkled. (60 

 days.) The 12-inch vines are very produc- 

 rive. Pods contain 5 to 8 tender sweet Peas.
