Italian Onions, as a rule, are of very quick growth, the largest in size, and of particulai ly mild flavor. Some 

 varieties wiU form onions weighing from two to four pounds the first year from seed. They succeed well every- 



where but are not as good keepers as those of native ori^--in. 



FIRST AND BEST. 



PEAS. 



Erbsen, CtER. Poj.s, Pr. 

 One quart to 1 OO feet of drill. 



For early, sow in light ricli soil. The general crop will do 

 better on a somewhat heavier soil hut land that is +00 rich should 

 be avoided as tending to produce too much vine, to the detriment 

 of the crop. Sow as early as the ground can be worked, andev^ery 

 ten days for a succession. Hesei've the wrinkled sorts until the 

 cold rains are over, as they rot very easily. 



The wTinkled peas are denoted by an asteiisk (*) and are 

 sweetei" and more delicate in flavor than the round sorts, remain- 

 ing longei" in season. 



* American Wonder. Height one foot. This justly celebrated 

 Pea is the best flavored Pea kiKJwn to the ti'ade. It is very 

 early, very dwarf, and of the very best quality; but not produc- 

 tive enough to be profitable for the market gardener. Pkt., 5c; 

 pt., 25c; qt., 45c. 



* Premium Gem, Height fifteen inches. This variety while not 

 possessing the peculiarly luscious, melting quality of the Ameri- 

 can Wonder, excels it in all other respects, being more produc- 

 tive, more branching and beai ing larger pods filled with peas of 

 excellent flavor. Almost as early as the Wonder, and more profitr 

 able for general market use. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt., 45c,
