HOW TO GROW PEAS. — They must have good rich soil worked deep and thoroughly. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure worked 
in is good (we have it). However, soil too rich will force the plants to an unnatural growth, sometimes twice the height of their nat- 
ural habit, which prevents the usual productiveness, and makes "all vine and no Peas." If desired for first in the market, then plant 
the extra-early smooth-seeded varieties, Pedigree Extra-Early or Alaska. They may be planted as early as you can get in the 
garden. The wrinkled-seeded varieties are much sweeter and not so hardy. The seed sometimes rots if planted very early, al- 
though this depends on the weather after they are planted. Make the rows one foot apart for low-growing sorts and for the home- 
garden, and 3 feet for large plantings for horse cultivation. For tall sorts make rows 2 feet apart in the home-garden and 3 to 4 
feet for large plantings. Cover early plantings 1 to 1 Vz inches; when soil is warmer, cover 2 inches. By successive plantings every 
2 weeks Peas may be had all season. Cultivate thoroughly all through the growing period. Nott's Excelsior is one of the best- 
quality dwarf varieties for the home-garden. Gradus and Thomas Laxton are two of the best large-podded early varieties, while 
Telephone and Stratagem are two of the best late sorts. Tall sorts may be supported by brush, twine, or racks. The only varieties 
of Peas offered here that need support are Telephone, Everbearing, Alderman, Champion of England, and Mammoth Luscious 
Sugar. One quart will plant a row 100 feet long; 2 bushels to the acre. 
Very fine. Matures as early as Gradus; the pods are not quite so large, but it yields heavier. 
I recommend it to all who grow for market; it is a money-maker. Vines grow 2>i feet high, 
and are covered with pods. Pkt. 10 cts., Vipt. 15 cts., pt. 30 cts., qt. 60 cts., 2 qts. $1.20, 4 qts. $2.25,
