CULTURE. — Plant early, smooth varieties as soon as frost is out of ground; follow with the 
early wrinkled sorts in a week or 12 days and make successive plantings every 10 days until the 1st 
of July. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep, in double rows 3 to 4 feet apart, if cultivated by hand; if by 
horse power rows should be 3 feet apart. Plants should be from 8 to 10 to the foot, according to 
the variety. Dwarf varieties require no sticks, tall varieties do better staked. Use one lb. to 50 
feet of drill, 2 to 3 bushels per acre. 
Ferguson's Benefactor. We feel confident that every Market Gardener who grows this new variety will agree that Bene- 
factor thoroughly deserves its name, as pods are borne in pairs at every joint, where hitherto, in 
othei large-podded early peas, but single pods were obtainable. It grows about 2J^ to 3 feet in height, is of dark green color, and 
produces long pods, similar to Gradus, that contain from 8 to 10 large Peas of a most delicate and s perior flavor. Comes into use 
much earlier than Thomas Laxton. Crop failed. 
Marvellous. This splendid first early Pea, in our opinion, is the best of the semi-dwarf section on the market. The pods are pro- 
duced invariably in pairs and these combine the size and earliness of Sutton's Excelsior with the deep green co- 
lour and form of "Little Marvel.' It proved to be one of the eaviest cropping varieties in trials, the pods containing 8 to 10 large 
peas and of extremely sweet flavour The 
plants grow to a height of about 18 in- 
ches. Per lb., 50 cts. (post paid, lb., 
60 cts.).
