PEAS. 
Our stock of peas has been carefully grown, and will be found to be just as 
represented. 
CULTURE.—For early peas a moderately rich and dry loam is the best; for 
the later sorts a heavier soil is preferable. Fresh stable manure is apt to make a 
heavy growth of vines, hence the ground for the early crop ought to have been 
manured the previous autumn. If this has not been done then apply well rotted 
manure at the time of sowing. Sow in drills about two or three inches deep. Let 
there be two rows ten inches apart, three to four feet between rows. 
EXTRA EARLY SORTS. 
Plant during August and September, January, February and March. 
John L. —This pea may be planted any month in the year in Georgia and 
latitudes further south, except during July and August. It does well in all soils, 
arid is the best for all purposes. In sections further north they should be put in 
during January and to March. They can be put in earlier than any other sort and 
will come'up when the ground is cold, v They are the earliest and most prolific 
variety ever grown, and have received the most flattering enconiums from gardeners 
and truckers in various sections.of the south. This is theubest early pea for the 
trucker we know of. Can be had only from us. Pint,. 26 cents , quart, 35 cents ; 
peck, $2.00: bushel, $6.00. 
A 
Single Plmtp 
From Life 
Bliss’ Everbearing— Height of vine, eighteen 
inches to two feet; pod three to four inches long, each pod 
containing six to eight wrinkled peas ; size of peas very 
large, frequently half an inch in diameter ; quality very fine. 
Its habit of growth is-: of a peculiar branching character, 
forming as many as ten stalks from a single root stalk. The 
individual branches are of extraordinary strength and sub¬ 
stance, so that when hilled up properly they stand up well, 
without brushing. For continuance of bearing this variety 
is notable—a characteristic which gives it especial value for 
late summer and autumn use. After repeated pickings the 
vines continue to be covered with blossoms and buds 
developing to maturity in turn. Per packet, 10 cents; pint, 
30 cents ; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. 
Alaska (True stock)—This is an extra early ; comes in 
next to the John L; blue in color, round in shape, good 
flavor and prolific. Plant north of Georgia from January rst 
to February 15th. Pint, 15'cents; q art, 25 cents; peck, 
$1 75 ; bushel, $5.50. 
First and Best —Grows well in a rich soil, and 
before the Alaska was introduced was the first. Pint, 15 
cents; quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.50. 
Daniel O’Rourke Improved -Ripens early, 
is very prolific and of excellent quality. Pint, 15 cents; 
quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00. 
Electric —a new extra early; strong growth and very 
'prolific. Wherever tried has proven equal to the Alaska, 
and many consider it preferable. Pint, 20 cents; quart, 30 
cents; peck, $1.75; bushel, $5.50. 
Truckers desire to secure an early rather than a large 
crop. For this purpose sow during November and 
December.
