"We supply Packets of Peas at 5c and 10c. postpaid. Add Sc to Pints and 15c to Quarts by Mail. 



One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill. One and one-half to two bushels for an acre. 



Culture. Peas of extra early, smooth class are the verj' first thing: to be planted in the garden in spring-. 



The Trrinkled sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall late varieties need brush or 



other support. By selecting sorts that do not grow much over two feet higrh. the necessity of providing 



brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of vaTieties and planting frequentlj- for succession will give a 



full supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible exception of ihe 



hottest part of the summer. Open furrows three or four inches deep and threef eet apart; scatter the seed 



Peas into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like corn or beans. The late tall sorts mav be 



planted in double rows and brush stuck in between them for support. All Garden Peas, however, require 



good, strong and fertile land. Heavy yields cannot be obtained on poor soil. The very dwarfest sorts of 



the American Wonder type will succeed only ou the verj- richest garden land, and may be planted in rows 



a foot apart. 



4S°"Those HarKed with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and unless otherwise stated should be sown 

 thicker than the round Peas, and not until the ground has become warm as thej- are more liable to rot. 

 They are the finest flavored of all Peas.
