PEAS. Last year was a very short crop, but not in the memory of the 

 present generation has there been such a shortage of Garden Peas as 

 this \'ear. In all countries where Garden Peas are produced for seed 

 purposes the croo of 191 1 was almost a failure. Prices are neces- 

 sarily higher. The stock will not last long, therefore early orders are 

 advisable. {1 quart to 100 feet of drill; 2 to 3 bushels for an acre.) 

 {Those prefixed * are wrinkled varieties; all others are smooth.)

 growth, wrinkled; of the finest quality

 prolific and of excellent flavor. A few days later than above
