One quart will platil joo feet of row ; two bushels will plant one acre in rows j feet apart. 
Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather rich soil, abounding with vegetable matter. For first- 
early crop sow in March or April, according as the ground can be worked, and at intervals of 
two weeks for succession. For private gardens they are generally sown in single or double 
rows 2 inches deep and from 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the height of the variety and strength 
of the soil. Those growing over feet in height should be supported with brush. After the 
end of May sowing should be discontinued until beginning of August, when a profitable crop 
may be secured by planting the extra-early varieties. 
jg©^ Market- gardeners will be supplied by the bushel at low rates. Large consumers will 
please write for prices. 
If to be forwarded by mail, add 15 cents per quart for postage.
