Boddington''s English -Grown Peas 



One quart will plant about lOo feet of drill. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring 

 brush. Commence sowing tlic extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March ; and continue, for a suc- 

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

 thicker than the round Peas, and not till tlie ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot. 



For the past years we have handled, almost exclusively, English-grown Peas. The reports from our customers during the past season 

 have been so encouraging tliat this year we have decided to increase the numljer 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 



A concensus of opinion obtained from 

 the leading private gardeners of the 

 United States by personal letters and 

 conversation.
