mination and Purity. 
CLIBRANS’ 
Tested Garden Peas. 
( Pi sum Sativum.) 
CULTURAL NOTES. 
Any good, well-drained, deeply-worked soil is suitable 
for peas, but a rich, deep loam with plenty of calcareous 
matter is best. Farmyard manure should, as a rule, be 
given to the previous crop. I f the soil is heavy, quicklime 
should be applied at the rate of 1J to 2 lbs. to the square 
yard the previous autumn. Peas are usually sown in 
drills 2 to 2,1 inches deep in light soils, but on heavy land 
they should be sown almost on the surface and 1 to 1 
inches of soil drawn over them. Half an inch of sand or 
sifted cinder ashes at the bottom of the drill or row will be 
found of great advantage in clay soil. Keep clean from 
weeds and earth up twice during growth. 
A sowing of the earliest varieties may be made in 
January, sowings of Early and Second Early varieties in 
February, and the main crops in succession from March 
to the end of May. 
The heights given are those attained in an ordinary 
season under normal conditions. It should lie borne in 
mind that the nature of soil and climate exert a great 
influence in this direction. 
HALF PINTS WILL BE CHARGED AT THE PINT 
RATE.

dwarf peas now in commerce.
