PEAS—Erbsen 
One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill, One and one-half bushels for 
an acre. 
Culture—The Extra Early varieties are very hardy, and will endure a great 
amount of cold; should be planted as soon as the ground can be 
got ready. The larger wrinkled varieties are not nearly as hardy, and the 
seed is apt to rot instead of germinating if planted before the soil becomes 
slightly warmer on the advance of spring. 
For private use sow in double rows, eighteen inches apart, and three 
inches apart in the rows. For market, in single rows 1 inch apart and 3 inches 
deep, and the rows from 2 to 3 feet apart. 
Our Seed Peas are of the best quality obtainable, being all grown far 
North, thoroughly cleaned and carefully hand-picked. They are raised from 
the finest selected strains, and the growing crops are rogued to remove all 
runners and improper types of growth.

abroad, in which the sweet, brittle and succulent pods have none of the tough inner
