PEAS 



(©rbfett) 



Extra-Early Telephone Peas 



well as early 

 ones. Sow in 

 drills about 2 

 to 3 inches 

 deep, and 

 from 2 to 4 

 feet apart, ac- 

 cording to va- 

 riety, taller 

 sorts requir- 

 i n g more 

 room than 

 dwarf ones. 

 Dwarf Peas 

 require a very 

 rich soil, 

 while tall ones 

 thrive best in 



rather thin ground. The latter are frequently sown in double 

 rows, with the brush, or support, of some kind, between them. 

 Wrinkled Peas are not so hardy as the smooth sorts, and should 

 not be sown quite so early, but are superior to them in quality, 

 more delicate in flavor, and remain longer in season. One quart 

 of seed will plant about loo feet of drill. 



For Peas to be sent by mail, add postage at the rate of 8 cts. 

 per pint, 15 cts. per quart, to prices given. Wrinkled varie- 

 ties are marked with a star.

All smooth-seeded Peas may be planted as early in the spring as the soil can be 

 prepared for them, being very hardy. Sow for the first crop as early as practicable, and 

 for succession at intervals of about two weeks until June. Late sowings, however, do 

 not yield so
