CULTURE. Peas 

 mature earliest in 

 light, rich soil. For 

 general crop use a 

 rich, deep loam or 

 inclining to clay is 

 best. When grown 

 in garden sow in 

 double rows 6 to 8 

 inches apart; the 

 rows 2 to 4 feet 

 apart. Commence 

 sowing the extra 

 early varieties as 

 early as the ground 

 can be worked in 

 February or March; 

 transplant for a suc- 

 cession every two 

 weeks until June, 

 then discontinue un- 

 til the middle of Au- 

 gust, when a good 

 crop may be secured 

 by sowing extra ear- 

 ly and early sorts 

 for fall use. They 

 should be kept clean 

 and earthed up twice 

 during the growth. 

 The wrinkled varie- 

 ties are not as hardy 

 as the small, round 

 sort and if planted 

 early should have a 

 dry soil or they are 

 liable to rot in the 

 ground. They are, 

 however, the -sweet- 

 est and best flavored 

 varieties. The dwarf 

 varieties are best 

 suited for small 

 gardens.

 deeper green color, and more delicious in flavor than either the 

 Thomas Laxton or the Gradus Pea. Will make a lot of money

 markets. As a pea for the home garden it is beyond de- 

 scription. Pkt. 10 cts,; pt, 35 cts,; qt, 60 cts,, postpaid; pk,

 ties of our Famous Ex- 

 tra Early Alaska Pea,

 a well-filled, long pod, 

 which will fill the bas- 

 ket quickly, and while 

 it is not a distinctly 

 sugar pea, yet it has a 

 much sweeter flavor 

 than the Alaska. It is 

 abundant yielder, Pkt,
