Peas 
The wrinkled varieties, while the sweetest of 
all peas, are more liable to rot, being tender, 
and need to be planted thicker and later than 
the round, hard sorts. Soil needs to be well 
fertilized. Have the dwarf varieties in rows 
two and one-half feet apart; those kinds grow¬ 
ing two or three feet high, in rows three feet 
apart, and the tallest in rows four feet apart. 
The smooth varieties may be sown as soon as 
ground can be worked; the wrinkled sorts when 
soil is well warmed. One quart to 100 feet of 
drill; one and one-half bushels to an acre.

Potatoes 
NORTHERN GROWN CERTIFIED SEED 
POTATOES 
We repeat what we have said so many times 
before.—Don’t waste labor and fertilizer on 
poor seed. Get the best. Your cost per bushel 
is based on the number of bushels you raise 
per acre. Keep your own costs down by rais¬ 
ing more bushels per acre, and this can be done 
by planting Northern Grown Certified Seed. 
Seed from the North comes to you with a 
vigor which your home grown seed does not 
possess. This fact is recognized by successful 
potato growers. 
We sell certified seed and we select our seed 
from farms that have produced full crops, that 
show a low disease count, and finally are 
stored, handled and shipped by men whose 
business is seed and have pride in their prod¬ 
uct. Did you ever think 1935 may be a good 
year to raise potatoes? 
The extreme low prices that prevail at the 
time this is written, in the opinion of most of 
us, will be reflected in a reduced acreage and a 
reasonable expectation is a fair price for the 
1935 crop. 
An average of 400 bu. per acre grown on O. & W. High 
Grade Potato Fertilizer on the farm of Mrs. Anna 
Norige, Forbes Street, East Hartford.
