VTAGEM 
PEAS. 
Culture. — A week may be Rained incnrllncsa 
by sowing a quantity in moist sand placed in 
a box in the cellar, and planting outside when 
well sprouted. Light, dry soil, not over rich, 
suits the Pea. Sow as early as the prround can 
be worked, and a^rnin every two weeks for suc- 
cession up to the first of June, after which there 
is dang:er from mildew. Sow in single or double 
rows, from foiir to six feet apart, according? to 
the different hei(?hts, about on inch apart in the 
row and four inches deep. In summer sow 
six or eight inches deep. In this climate the 
O'Rourke Peas, if planted from the 16th of 
July to the Ist of August, will produce a fair 
crop for fall picking, when peas will be most 
acceptable. Hoc often. The fall sorts can be made to 
bear more freely by pinching in. The dwarf varieties 
may be grown in beds like bush beans, with rows 
about the same distance apart. 
It will pay you to plant Northern Grown Peas. 
They are adapted to all sections. 
They are earlier, hardier, and yield larger crops 
than any others. 
We are extensive growers, and our stocks are un- 
eaaaled.
