• THEY GROW BETTER 
PEAS 
(®rbfen) 
Grow lots of Peas. They are an- 
other one of the food crops for winter 
as well as for summer; that is, they 
may be canned or dried for winter 
use. 
HOW TO GROW PEAS.—They must 
liave good rich soil worked deep and thor- 
oughly. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure 
worked in is good (we have it). However, 
soil too rich will force the plants to an un- 
natural growth, sometimes twice the height 
of their natural 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, although this depends 
on the weather after they are planted. 
Make the rows one foot apart for low-grow- 
ing' sorts and for the home-garden, and 3 
feet for large plantings for horse cultiva- 
tion. For tall sorts make rows 2 feel apart j^^^ Selcher, market-gardener, "delighted" with his crop of Gradus Peas, 
m the home-garden and 3 to 4 feet for large knows how to grow good crops and is very particular to have the best seeds; 
plantmgs Cover early plantmgs 1 to 1 Vz ^akes no risk and plants Schell's Quality Seeds, 
mches; when soil )S warmer, cover2mches. 
By successive plantings every two 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 axe Telephone, Everbearing, Alderman, Champion of Eng- 
land, and Mammoth Luscious Sugar. One quart will plant a row 100 feet long; 2 bushels to the acre.
