INOCULATE PEAS 



Garden Peas require large quantities of 

 nitrogen. Insufficient amounts of this nec- 

 essary element often result in poor stands. 

 Inoculating increases arid releases dormant, 

 but unavailable, nitrogen in your soil, a 

 quicker and more vigorous stand of Peas 

 being the result. For Inoculants, see 

 page 61. 



Extra-Early Smooth-seeded Peas 



Earlier and hardier than the Wrinkled 

 Peas and can be sown 10 to 14 days sooner. 

 Their flavor, however, is not equal to that of 

 the Wrinkled Peas. As their season of bear- 

 ing is short, supplement your sowings of 

 the smooth-seeded sorts with both early 

 and late wrinkled varieties, for a continued 

 supply. 



First and Best. An extra-early, productive 

 variety. Grows 30 inches high and bears 

 short, well-filled pods. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt.

NITROGEN- A VALUABLE PLANT- FOOD 



NITROGEN is the plant-food most needed by the average soil, as in combination with other ele- 

 ments it forms new cells and tissues on growing plants and promotes a quick, dark green foliage. It 

 becomes quickly available to the plant-life when used in the form of Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of 

 Ammonia, offered on page 60.
