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 succession 

 every two weeks until June, 

 then discontinue until the mid- 

 dle of August, when a good crop 

 may be secured by sowing extra 

 early and early sorts for fall 

 use. They should be kept clean 

 and earthed up twice during the 

 growth. The wrinkled varieties 

 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 varie- 

 ties. The dwarf varieties are 

 best suited for small gardens.

 color when shelled and the best 

 quality when cooked. The 

 dark green color of the pods

 its earliness and uniformity of 

 ripening, make it one of the 

 best early peas for market

I just want to say tliat I appreciate the good results I get 

 from planting your seed. They never fail to come up. My 

 garden is lovely this summer. I've been canning Cracker 

 Jack Peas. I think they are quite the nicest, but not so 

 early as 100% Profit for fall planting.
