CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. 

 For general crop use a I'ieh, deep loam, or Inclining 

 to clay is best. When grown in garden, sow in double 

 vows li to .S infbes smart; the rows 2 to 4 fppt apart 

 and tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the 

 extra early yarieties as early as the ground can be 

 worked in February or March; continue for a succession 

 every two weeks until June, then discontinue until the 

 middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by 

 sowing the extra early and early sorts for fall >ise. 

 They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during 

 the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy 

 as tlie small i-ound sort, and if planted early should 

 have a dry soil, or tliey are liable to rot in the ground; 

 they are. however, the sweetest and best flavored va- 

 rieties. Tlie dwarf varieties are best suited for small 

 gardens.

 will fill the basket in one-half the time, and 

 while it is not a distinctly sugar pea, yet it has 

 a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It is 

 an abundant yielder. Packet, 10c. ; pint, 1.5c.;

wojnderful extra early peas.- 



This pea has proven itself to be a decided ac- 

 quisition to the list of peas. It is as early as 

 the Alaska; bears long, well-filled pods. While 

 not a wrinkled pea, it takes somewhat of the 

 character of them. It can be planted as early 

 as the Alaska — vines grow stiff and upright.

 all smooth green peas, having the best color

 tances without losing color, which quality, com- 

 bined with its earliness and uniformity of ripening, make it one of the best extra early peasfor truckers and market
