PEAS—Continued. 
My Seed Peas are of tlierer} 
best quality obtainable, being 
all grown far North (on the 
borders of Lake Ontario), rid¬ 
dled and hand-picked. They 
are raised from the best se¬ 
lected stocks, and the crops 
arc carefully “ rogned,” being 
subjected to the most critical 
and constant inspection. All 
rarietles not otlierwise priced 
are 10 cents per large packet, 
postpaid ; but if larger quanti¬ 
ties are ordered sent by mall, 
add 15 cents per pint, 30 cents 
per quart, for cost of postage. 
Peas mature earliest in a light, 
rich soil. For a general crop, a 
rich, deep loam, or inclining to 
clay, is the best. When grown 
for a market crop, sow in single 
rows, one inch apart and two to three inches deep, the rows from two to four feet 
apart, according to the variety. When grown in gardens, sow in double rows, six 
to eight inches apart, the tali ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra 
early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March, continue 
succession every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of 
August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early sorts, for Fall 
use. They should be kept clean, and earthed up twice during growth. The wrinkled 
varieties are not as hardy as the small hard sorts, and if planted early should have a 
dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground. They are, however, the sweetest and 
best-flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited from their dwarf habit 
for small gardens or for forcing, and can be planted in rows one loot apart. 
One quart will plant about one hundred and twenty-five feet of drill; from 
one to two bushels per acre.
