Peas 
One pound or pint will sow about 50 feet of drill. 
Two bushels will sow an acre in drills. 
CtTLTURE — Light dry ground suits the Pea best, especially for 
early crop, but fair results can be obtained with proper cultivation on 
almost any kind of soil. The dwarf sorts can be grown in single rows 
like bush Beans, but the taller sorts require staking, and should be sown 
in double rows (8 inches between), from 4 to 6 feet apart, and Spinsge 
can be grown between. Cover not less than 4 inches so as the better to 
withstand 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 ot the 
early varieties every ten days, and for small gardens the dwart sorts are 
preferable. 
I If ordered by mail add 5c. per lb. postage in Dominion j 
and 16c. per lb. in United States and Newfoundland. |
