 CULTURE. — Our trial of Peas is probably the most extensive on this side of 

 the Atlantic, and it enables us to discard inferior sorts and to offer in the 

 following list only the best varieties. Peas come earliest to maturity in light, 

 rich soil. 



For early crop, a deep loam or soil strongly inclining to clay is best. For 

 «arly crops, decomposed leaves or leaf-mold should be used; or, if the soil is 

 very poor, strong manure may be used. For general crops a good dressing 

 should be applied, and for the dwarf-growing kinds the soil can hardly be too 

 rich. When grown as a market crop. Peas are never staked; for private use, 

 they are generally sown in double rows, and the tall varieties staked up by 

 brush. For an early crop, sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and make 

 repeated sowings every two weeks for succession. After the first of June 

 sowing should be discontinued until the middle of August, when a good crop 

 may sometimes be secured by sowing an extra early sort for fall use. 



LAXTONIAN. — A grand, early, dwarf Pea; enormous pods; the largest of 

 peas. The pods of Laxtonian are very large, and are produced on a low-growing, 

 sturdy vine, without support of any kind. The flavor is just as rich and good 

 as any of the later varieties, which entitles it to a permanent place in every 

 garden. The plant is only li,-^ feet high, branching in habit. Ft. 50c; qt. 45c; 

 pk. $3.00; bu. $10.50.
