The Pea crop ol 1911 has been one of the shortest on record. Choice stock very scarce 



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

 not yield so well as early ones. Sow in drills about 2 to 3 inches deep, and from 2 to 4 

 feet apart, according to variety, taller sorts requiring more room than dwarf ones. Dwarf 

 Peas require a very rich soil, while taller ones thrive best in rather thin ground. The 

 latter are frequently sown in double rows, with the brush, or support of some kind, be- 

 tween 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 100 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 varieties are marked with a star
