PEAS, 



On account of the very short crop in some 

 varieties of Peas, prices are subject 

 to change without notice. 



Peas mature early In a light, rich soil. For a 

 general crop, a rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay, 

 would be best. They thrive better if the ground ha<? 

 been manured for a previous crop, but if the ground 

 is poor and requires manviring, use well rotted man- 

 ure, and for the dwarf varieties you can hardly make 

 the soil too rich. When grown for a market crop they 

 are seldom staked or brushed, but are sown in single 

 rows I inch apart and 3 to 5 inches deep, the depth 

 depending on time of sowing, nature of soil, as well 

 as variety. Rows should be from 23^ to 3>2 feet apart, 

 according to variety, and manner of culture desired. 

 When grown in gardens it is best to sow in double 

 rows, 6 to 8 inches apart, the tall ones requiring 

 brush, which is stuck in between the rows. Com- 

 mence sowing early varieties as early as the ground 

 can be worked in the Spring, and continue, for a 

 succession, every two weeks up to June, discontin- 

 uing until the middle of July, when a good crop can 

 usually be secured by sowing the extra early and 

 early sorts. They should be kept clean with the 

 cultivator or hoe, and earthed up twice during 

 growth. Wrinkled varieties are not as hardy 

 as the smooth hard sorts, and if planted early 

 should have dry soil and not planted deep, or they 

 are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, 

 the sweetest and best flavored varieties. One quart 

 sows so feet of drill; two or three bushels to the 

 acre. 



PEAS— (Erbsen.) 



Extra Early Alaska.— The earliest blue 

 pea. The dark green color of the pods makes it 

 extremely desirable, as it can be carried long dis- 

 tances without losing color, which quality, com- 

 t)ined with its earliness and 'uniformity of ripening, 

 makes it la most desirable pea for market gar- 

 deners. Height two feet. Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. 

 Bushel, $3.25. 



First and Best.— It is very profitable for 

 the gardener and shipper because it is very early, 

 ripens uniformly, so that all the pods may be 

 picked within seven weeks from the time of plant- 

 ing, and that at one picking. No brush or other 

 support is required, as they seldom, under any cir- 

 cumstances grow to exceed 20 inches in height. 

 Quart, 20c. Peck, 90c. Bushel, $3.50. 



Rural New Yorker.— One of the earliest 

 and very productive. Seeds round and slightly

American Wonder. — This variety stands 

 unrivaled in point of productiveness, flavor, and 

 quality, and is without exception the earliest 

 wrinkled pea in cultivation. It is of dwarf and 

 robust habit, growing from ten to fifteen inches 

 high, and produces a profusion of good sized and 

 well filled pods of the finest flavor. Dry peas,
