One quart will plant loo feet of row ; two bushels will plant one acre in rows 3 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 tlie height of the variety and strength 

 of the soil. Those growing over iVz 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. 



^®*- 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.
