1 qt. to 100 feet of row, 

 Our Seed Peas are of the best qualit}- obtainable, being 

 all grown far North, thoroughl)' cleaned and carefully 

 hand-picked They are raised from finest selected strains, 

 and the growing crops are rogued to remove all runners and 

 improper types of growth. The Extra Early varieties a"re 

 very hardy, and will endure a great amount of cold; should 

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

 «ooner 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 hard}', and 

 the seed is apt to rot instead of germinating if planted be- 

 fore the soil becomes slightly warmer on the advance of 

 Spring.
