PEAS 
Perfect Pure-Bred Alaska Peas. As they 
grow when you plant my High QuaUty Seed 
HOW TO GROW PEAS. — They must have good rich soil worked deep and 
thoroughly. Wiiard 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 natural hahit, which prevents the usual productive- 
ness, and makes "all vino 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 aro much sweeter and not so nardy. The seed some- 
times rots if planted very oarly, although 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 plantmgs 1 to IVi 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, Aldermao, Champion of England, and Mammoth 
Luscious Sugar. One quart will plant a row 100 feet long; 2 bushels to the acre.
