THOMAS J. GREY CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE 
55 
PEAS 
Two lbs. of peas will plant 100 feet of drill; 90 lbs., to the acre. 
Peas succeed best in light, rich soil. The early round, smooth varieties should 
be planted as early in spring as possible, while the wrinkled sorts, which are 
more tender, will do better if planted after the ground becomes warmer. Sow in 
drills, 2 to 3 feet apart, according to variety, and cover early sowing about 2 
Inches; later plantings should be covered 3 to 4 inches. Successive plantings can 
be made every ten days up to the middle of July. For the later plantings the 
early varieties are preferred. 
Free Delivery. We will prepay Parcel Post charges on cash orders at quoted 
catalogue prices on Peas, up to two pounds, anywhere in the United States, east 
of the Mississippi River; for larger quantities, the purchaser pays transportation 
charges. 
We furnish 15c packages of all kinds of Peas, except where noted.
