 Our Seed Peas are of the best quality obtainable, being 

 all grown far North, thoroughly cleaned and carefully hand- 

 picked. They are raised from finest selected strains, and the 

 growing crops are rowed to remove all runners and im- 

 proper types of growth. The Extra Early varieties are very 

 hardy, and will endure a great amount of cold, shotild be 

 planted as soon as the ground can be got ready — the sooner 

 the better. Of late years some gardeners make a sowing of 

 Extra Earlies late in the Fall, seed lying dormant in the soil 

 all Winter and germinating very early in Spring. The 

 larger wrinkled varieties are not near 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, ( 

 J and three inches apart in the rows. For market, in single rows l 

 } one inch apart and three inches deep, and the rows from two to ( 

 I three feet apart.
