FAUST'S VKGKTABI.K SEEDS. 37 



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

 can be no purer strains or better stocks than those which we oflfer. 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 

 they 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 

 single rows, 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 applied. For dwarf varieties the soil can hardly be too rich. Varieties growing over 23^ feet in height should, be 

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

 be secured by sowing the extra early varieties. ^
