HOW TO GROW PEAS.—They must have good rich soil worked deep and 
thoroughly. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure worked in is good (we have it). How¬ 
ever, soil too rich will force the plants to an unnatural growth, sometimes twice the 
height of their natural habit, which prevents the usual productiveness, and makes 
“all vine and no Peas.” If desired for first in the market, then plant the extra- 
early smooth-seeded varieties, Pedigree Extra-Early or Alaska. They may be 
planted as early as you can get in the garden. The wrinkled-seeded varieties are 
much sweeter and not so hardy. The seed sometimes rots if planted very early, 
although this depends on the weather after they are planted. Make the rows one 
foot apart for low-growing sorts and for the home-garden, and 3 feet for large 
plantings for horse cultivation. For tall sorts make rows 2 feet apart in the home- 
garden and 3 to 4 feet for large plantings. Cover early plantings 1 to IV2 inches; 
when soil is warmer, cover 2 inches. By successive plantings every 2 weeks Peas 
may be had all season. Cultivate thoroughly all through the growing-period, but 
keep out of them when they are wet. Nott’s Excelsior is one of the best-quality 
dwarf varieties for the home-garden. Two pounds will plant a row 100 feet long; 
2 bushels to the acre. 
Mr. J. R. Foy, of Florida, has been trying out different varieties of Cucumbers 
for ten years, and says “but none have equaled your Schell’s Veridark.” 
Schell’s Thoroughbred Peas are Bred for Quality, Size, and 
Yield. That is why thousands of gardeners prefer them—that is why we sell 
so many thousands of bushels. 
Buy Schell’s Peas, not only be¬ 
cause they are less in price but 
because They Grow Better— 
They Yield Better—they 
are preferred by the buyers 
in every market. 
Year after year Schell’s Quality 
Seeds prove their superior qual¬ 
ity to all who plant them. They 
grow better—they yield better. 
Mrs. Jacob Emerick, of Glencoe, 
writes: “Your seeds are all O. K. I 
have been ordering all my garden 
seeds from you for many years. They 
are hard to beat, and I always get 
what I order.” 
Schell's Improved Alaska. 
Schell's Improved Thomas Laxton. 
_£__ page 20 gives you a 
better idea of the size, shape, and contents of the pods of our Improved 
Thomas Laxton Peas than a word description. We consider it the very 
best extra-early large-podded Pea. It is ready to pick in 55 days, a week 
to ten days after our Improved Alaska. It is of excellent quality, richly 
flavored, and the pods are packed solid with large Peas, usually eight in 
a pod. It yields very much heavier than other early sorts and in every 
way is preferable for home or market use, when compared to other large- 
podded early varieties. Do not confuse our Improved Thomas Laxton 
with the regular Thomas Laxton generally offered, for our Improved 
strain is far superior in size, quality, and yield. Order this for your first- 
early large-podded Pea and you will be delighted. Plants grow 20 inches 
high and need no support. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 25 cts.; lb. 40 cts.;
