PEAS 
One pound or pint will sow about 50 feet of drill. Two biishels 
will sow an acre in drills. CULTURE — Light, dry ground, suits 
the Pea best, especially for early erop, but fair results can be 
obtained with proper cultivation on almost any kind of soil. 
The dwarf sorts can be grown iii single rows like bush beans, but the taller sorts 
require staking, and should be sown in double row.s (8 inches between), from 4 to 6 
feet apart, and Spinage can be grown between. C>>ver not less than 4 inches so as to 
better withstand the drought, and plants should be thinned to say 1 inch. Sow three 
sorts, early, medium, and late, at the same time, so as to secure a succession in crop, 
and this can also be obtained by sowing any of the early varieties every ten days, and 
for small gardens the dwarf sorts are preferable 
If ordered by mail add 5c. per lb. in Dominion, and 1 6c. per lb. in 
United States and Newfoundland.
