PEAS. (Erbse.) 
A light soil, moderately rich, should be selected for the early varieties, and old, decomposed manure or leaf-mold should be scattered 
along the bottom of the drill and covered lightly with fine earth, so that the seed may not come in direct contact with the fertilizer. For 
general crops a good dressing should be applied, and for the dwarf kinds the soil should be very rich. The earliest Peas are mostly round 
and smooth-seeded. They are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in spring; later sowings of the fine, sweet, wrinkled vari- 
eties should follow. Sow Peas in drills and cover not less than four inches. For the lowest sorts the drills should be two feet apart; those 
growing taller should be three or four feet apart, according to height. When grown for private use, Peas should be staked with brush, 
except the very dwarf-growing varieties. Owe quart to one hundred feet of drill; one and one-half bushels sows one acre in drills. 
No vegetable receives more of our care than Peas. Wecontract annually for hundreds of bushels of the leading 
sorts with growers of reliability and experience, who raise our supplies from the finest and most carefully selected 
seed stocks in the country, and we frequently inspect the growing crops. We cordially invite growers for market 
and all others to call and examine ours when in need of true, pure and fresh seed Peas.
