Peas. 
This delicious vegetable is so much finer when freshly 
gathered, than when allowed to shrivel for days in the mar¬ 
ket. that every family if possi hie should grow their own Peas. 
For early crop plant as soon as the ground can possibly he 
worked in f lic spring, and plant every two weeks thereafter 
for succession until summer. 
Childs' Universal. A new arid most valuable sort, almost 
§ the perfection of a Pea. This is no chance variety, 
but. one developed by long years of careful selection 
and high ciiltivacion. The plant is a branching half 
dwarf, giving room for an immense crop, yet needing 
mistaking. The plants arc covered with pods, well 
filled with medium sized wrinkled Peas, of verv rieli 
flavor. Medium early, and is bound to supersede the 
-older main crop varieties. Pkt., 10c.: pint, Kir.: quart
