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. The earliest Peas are very hardy, and should be sown as early as possible in 

 spring; later sowings of the fine, sweet, wrinkled varieties should follow. Sow in drills and cover not less than four 

 inches. One quart to one hundred feet of drill ; one and one-half bushels S07vs one acre in drills. 



Large packet of all varieties, lo cents each, post-paid. If larger quantities are desired by mail please add 8
