F. E. MCALLISTER CO., 69 CORTLANDT ST., NEW 
YORK.— HIGH GRADE VEGETABLE SEEDS. 21 
PEAS. 
One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill. 
Culture.— For early crops, sow as early in spring as 
practicable, and again every two or three weeks for a 
succession througliout the season up to the first of 
August. Plant in single or double rows, four feet apart 
and two inches deep. In dry weather soak the peas 
over night before planting. In the vicinitv of New 
York the Extra Early Peas, if planted from" the 15th 
to the last of August, will produce a medium crop for 
late picking, when they will be found most acceptable 
Varieties marked * are wrinkled marrows, and should 
be sown thicker than the round Peas, and not until the 
ground has become warm, as they are more liable to 
rot. All wrinkled sorts are much superior in flavor to 
the round Peas.
