Bodclmgton''s English -Grown Peas 



One quart will plant aljout 25 feet of drill. Sow in double rows 6 to H inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brusli. 

 Commence sowinjr the extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March ; and continue, for a succession, 

 every two weeks until June. Those marked with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown thicker 

 tlian the round I^eas, and not till the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot. 



For the past years we have handled, almost e.xclusively, English-grown Peas. Tiie reports from our customers (luring the past season 

 Iiave been so encouraging that this year we have decided to increase the number of varieties of stock so grown. English-grown Peas can 

 always be relied upon as absolutely true, free from "rogues," hand-picked, all imperfect seeds being rejected, thus ensuring greater strength 

 and vigor of the vines, and a clean, handsome and more profitable crop. 



The following are the best Peas for all purposes
