Schell's Wonderful. You can see it in natural

on page 26. 
Important Information! Because of lack of water due to the drought, 
California Pea-growers planted only one-third as many Peas for market. 
This should result in good demand and good prices for all you who grow Peas 
this year. It would seem wise to plant more than usual.

HOW TO GROW PEAS.—They musi have good rich soil worked deep and thor¬ 
oughly. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure worked in is good (we have it). However, soil 
too rich will force the plants to an unnatural growth, sometimes twice the height of 
their natural habit, which prevents the usual jioductiveness, and makes “all vine and 
no Peas.” If desired for first in the market, then jlan. the extra-early smooth-seeded 
varieties, Pedigree Extra-Early or Alaska. They may be planted as eaily as you can 
get in the garden. The wrinkled-seeded varieties are much sweeter and not so hardy. 
The seed sometimes rots if plan.ed very early, al hough this depends on the weather 
af er they a.e plan.ed. 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 1 Vi 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.
