CULTURE.—Peas of extra early, smooth class are the very fjrst thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled 
sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall late varieties need brush or other support. By selecting sorts that 
do not grow much over two feet high, the necessity of providing brush may be avoided. — Judicious selection of varieties and plant- 
ing frequently for succession will give us a full supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible 
exception of the hottest part of the summer. Open furrows three or four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter the seed Peas 
into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like corn or beans. The late tall sorts may be planted in double rows and brush 
stuck in between for support. All Garden Peas, however, require good, strong and fertile Jand. Heavy yields cannot be obtained 
on poor soil. The very dwarfest sorts of the American Wonder type will succeed only on the very richest garden land, and may 
be planted in rows a foot apart.

sior to be an improvement in every way; height, 14 inches.

4 qts., £1.25; peck, $2.25. 
Gradus, or Prosperity. (See cut.) This variety combines 
’ the finest quality with extreme earliness, and is also very pro- 
ductive. It is hardy, and can be planted fully as early as the 
smooth Peas; grows vigorous and healthy; vines 3 feet in 
height, and is very prolific, bearing pods fully as large as 
Telephone. The color of the shelled Peas is a beautiful light 
green, which color they retain after being cooked; the quality 
and flavor are delicious. Pt., 25 cts. (postpaid, 33 cts. ); qt., 
45 cts. (postpaid, 60 cts.); 4 qts., $1.60; peck, $2.75.
