FAUST'S VEGETABLE SEEDS. 37 



Our Peas are grown close to the shores of Late Ontario ^the most favorable pea-growing section in the world), and there 

 can be no purer strains or better stocks than those which we offer. No peas can receive more attention in growth and cultiva- 

 tion than is bestowed upon our present crop. They have been riddled in the most approved manner, and afterward thoroughly 

 and carefully hand-picked. We pay the postage at prices quoted, and also quote prices by express or freight. 



Plant the early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, the others in succession from April to June. For private use 

 thev are generally sown in double rows, 6 or 8 inches apart and 2 or 3 inches deep. When grown for market they are sown in 

 siuo-lerows and 2 or 3 feet apart. They come earliest to maturity in light, rich soil, and for a general crop a good dressing 

 should be a'pphed. For dwarf varieties the soil can hardly be too rich. Varieties growing over ly, feet in height should be 

 bushed. Sow for a succession everj' 2 weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of August, when a good crop may 

 be secured by sowing the extra early varieties.
