Garden Peas

• mature early when in a light, rich soil. For the general cron a 
rich deep loam or clay would be best. Peas thrive better if the ground 
has been manured for a previous crop, but if the ground is poor 
and requires enriching, use well-rotted manure; and for the dwarf 
varieties you can hardly make the soil too rich When 
bushed “hut ?£*** crop ’ Peas , are seldom staked o? 
pusned, but are sown in single rows three to four 
ro d r e t P i’ the depth depending on the time of sowing 
nature of the soil, as well as the variety. Wrinkled va- 
rieties are not as hardy as the smooth sorts, 
and if planted early should have dry, warm 
soil, and not planted deep, or they are liable 
to rot in the ground. These wrinkled varieties 
are however, the sweetest and best flavored. 
Rows for planting sliOultTbe from 2% to 3% 
feet apart according to the kind, soil and man- 
ner of culture desired. When grown in the kitchen 
garden it is best to sow the seed in double rows, six 
to eight inches apart, the tall sorts reciuifing brush 
Commence sowing early varieties as sown as the ground 
can be worked in the Spring, and continue, for a suc- 
cession, every two weeks up to the end of June, dis- 
continuing until the middle of July, when a good crop 
can sometimes be secured by sowing an extra-early

Early Round or Smooth 
PEDIGREED EXTRA EARLY (2 feet) This ex- 
tra early Pea is not only early, but the very best of 
the smooth, white, extra earlies. Matures in from 40 to 
45 days after germination and the full, round, dark 
green pods are produced in wonderful profusion. Prac- 
tically all the pods can be gathered in two pickings, and 
as they are of strong texture, are well fitted for ship- 
ping even long distances. The Peas are of medium size, 
round, smooth and of splendid flavor. The vines are 
very hardy, and seed may be sown as soon as the soil 
becomes mellow. Qt., 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; pk., $1.75; bu.,

CUT WORMS 
Tnis is the worm that does more damage to growing crops than anv 
one insect pest that we know of; it attacks the cabbage anflinm^tli niL?J ier 
well as the fields of corn, small grain, etc., sometimes cutting off aS 
large areas of all kinds of crops. Cut worms a^e "Lflv po soned and ca 'bf 
controlled readily on small fields, and on large ones with a little more work 
One method in the nursery when they attack the small trees, is to mix lofMbs 
of bran,. 5 lbs of pans green (and mixing these two thoroughly before wet.! 
oil? -.2 IPIXtur ® ) ’ then take a quantity of water and one gallon of molasses 
inis thoroughly and use just enough to dampen the bran and tTie .mris 
green. This mixture is put in a Planet, Jr„ Drill and a row followed « 
a man can walk. Practically all of the cut worms will be lulled in one snr,H 
m cation, as they are very fond of the bran and molasses apph "
