CURRIE BROTHERS CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS 



Garden Peas 



Two pounds to 100 feet of drill; 120 lbs. to the acre in drills. 



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

 ground can be worked, and the wrinkled sorts later, when the ground is warm- 

 er, as they rot readily in cold, wet soil early in the season. Sowings should be 

 made at intervals 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. 



The price of peas up to 2 lbs. includes delivery by pai-cel post or express; 

 5-lb. prices and over do not include transportation. See zone rates.
