Good Seed Peas are very scarce, crop being the shortest in years 



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

 be prepared for them. They are very hardy, and will endure a low temperature, 

 both before and after sprouting. Sow for the first crop as early as is practicable, 

 and for succession 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 tall ones thrive 

 best in rather thin ground, which does not stimulate too luxuriant growth in the 

 vines, to the detriment of the pods. 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 as 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 tie sent by mail, add postage at the rate of 8 cts. per pint, IS cts. per 

 quart, to prices given. Wrinkled varieties are marked with a star
