CULTURAL Directions 
PEAS MAY BE GROWN Successfully on any good soil. The extra early smooth sorts may be planted as soon as tlie 
ground may be worked in the spring, a little frost not proving harmful to the young plants. The wrinkk-d 
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. The 
land should be well cultivated and fertilized with unleached wood ashes or other potash 
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 100 feet of drill. We pay postage on peas by the packet, pint or quart.
