Cultural Directions 
PEAS MAY BE GROWN successfully on any good soil. The extra early smoolii sorts may be planted as soon as t 
ground may be worked in the spring, a littie frost not proving harmful to the young plants. The wrinkle 
varieties should follow later, as they are not so hardy. The distance between the rows in planting should be 
regulated according to varieties planted, the taller growing sorts requiring brush or other support. Commonly 
the seed should be sown about 4 inches deep, allowing about 10 seeds to each foot of row. Thi 
land should be well cultivated and fertilized with unlcached wood ashes or other potas 
fertilizer. Cultivate like corn or beans, and a judicious selection of varieties, with fre- 
quent plantings will insure a succession of peas during the entire season. One pint of 
peas will sow lOO feet of drill. 
We pay postage on peas by the packet, pint or quart. If you desire shipment for- 
warded by express or freight, deduct 7c. per pint and 15c. per quart from quoted prices.
