One quart will plant 100 ft. of row; two bushels will plant one acre in rows 3 ft. apart. 
Peas luxuriate in a free, light, rather rich soil, abounding with vegetable matter. For first-early 
crop sow in March or April, according as the ground can be worked, and at intervals of two weeks 
for succession. For private gardens they are generally sown in single or double rows 2 inches deep 
and from 3 to 4 feet apart, according to the height of the variety and strength of the soil. Those 
growingover 2% feet in height should be supported with brush. After the end of May sowing 
should be discontinued until beginning of August, when a profitable crop may be secured by plant¬ 
ing the extra-early varieties. ‘ 
Market gardeners will be supplied by the bushel at low rates. Large consumers will please write for prices. 
If to be forwarded by mail, add 15 cts. per quart for postage.
