PEAS 
Peas are quite hardy, and for very early market can be planted in the fall in protected places, and ripe peas can be had in February. They 
require moderately rich soil, but not excessively rich or wet, or they will run too much to vine, and do not bear heavily. The seed needs 
to be planted thick, using from 150 to 200 pounds per acre for seed or vegetable crop, or one pound for sixty feet of row. 
The dwarf varieties can be planted in rows twelve to eighteen inches apart, and the tall ones three feet By using the various classes of peas 
and by making several sowings of each, good peas can be had for a long season. In the garden the pods should be kept picked as the plants 
will then continue to bear longer. 
Express or freight charges are not prepaid. Write us for special quotations on large quantities. Seed crop is very short this year.
