CULTURE.—Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general crop, a rich, Geep loam, or inclining to clay, is best. Sow 
in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early 
varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then 
discontinuing until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts for fall use. 
They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round 
sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, the sweetest and best 
flavored varieties, The dwarf varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forcing, planted in rows | foot apart. 
Packets of all varieties of Peas at 10 cts. each, postpaid.

Peas has ever met with the favor and sale as the “ Gradus”’

very productive. It is very 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
