12 Reliable Garden Seed 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
Blue Bantam Peas. 
Extra Early Alaska. 
PEAS 
CUIiTXrRI!. Peas mature earliest in a light, 
rich soil; for general crop a moderately heavy soil 
is best. Commence sowing early varieties as soon 
as ground can be worked, continue for a succession 
every 2 weeks until June. Sow the early, second 
early and late varieties at the same time for a suc¬ 
cession. One pound for 100 feet of drill; 110 to 175 
pounds for an acre. The wrinkled varieties are 
more susceptible to cold, wet weather than the 
small round, hard sorts, hence should not be planted 
very early except in warm dry locations. 
Brush can be used to advantage on all varieties, 
but the various dwarf growing sorts take care of 
themselves very well without. If brush is not avail¬ 
able, chicken wire is the best substitute for use with 
the taller growing kinds. 
The crop should be gathered as fast as it is fit 
for use. If even a few pods begin to ripen, not only 
will new pods cease to grow, but those partly ad¬ 
vanced will stop growing.

Extra Early Peas 
These varieties can often be planted early in March; and 
use your lightest strip of soil. Alaska and First and Best may 
be sown as soon as ground can be worked. Later types need 
heavier soil which retains moisture under the hot sun.

Pea. Pods of perfect shape, well filled with smooth Peas of 
unrivaled quality. Seed blue. The Peas are not very large

feet. Price No. 2.
