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.

 like fully wrinkled peas. The 

 dwarf vigorous vines measure 

 18 inches and carry enormous 

 crops of large, beautiful, deep 

 green pods, 4 to 5 inches long, 

 and are filled with 9 to 10 large 

 blue marrow peas of fine

 shape and splendid quality; are very nearly as large in size 

 and mature a little earlier. The vines are vigorous, produc- 

 tive, averaging 15 to 18 inches high, foliage dark green; pods 

 about 4 inches in length. Seed light green, large, wrinkled,

Peas are both nutritious and delicious. They are at their 

 best when picked fresh from the vines. Every garden should 

 produce enough peas to supply the table for many weeks. 



555. Extra Early Thomas Laxton. (55 days.) An 



extra early wrinkled marrow of excellent quality, and a valu- 

 able addition to the very early varieties. It is three feet high 

 and somewhat more vigorous in habit than Prosperity. The 

 pods are medium to large, blunt-ended and filled to the tip 

 with large peas of true, rich "marrow" flavor. Its strong 

 vine and heavy cropping character make it very suitable 

 for an early crop in the private garden. It may be used 

 to great advantage as an immediate successor to Early Bird. 

 If sown together, Thomas Laxton will be in full production 

 just as the crop of Early Bird is diminishing. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt.
