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 middle 

 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 sweetest and 

 best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited 

 for small gardens.

 pods, of finest flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.,

 beautiful, deep green 

 pods, filled with large, 

 delicious peas. "100% 

 Profit" Peas are much 

 earlier, dwarfer, more 

 prolific, deeper green 

 color, and more de- 

 licious in flavor than 

 either the Thomas Lax- 

 ton or the Gradus Pea. 

 Will make a lot of 

 money quickly for the 

 market gardener and 

 shippers to Northern 

 markets. As a pea for 

 the home garden it is 

 beyond description.
