JAMES J. II. GREGORY & SOWS RETAIL CATALOGUE. 
James 0. Gunter, Urain, Ore,, writes: “Your Marblehead Marrowfat Peas are a ‘reality’ of genuine merit,” ga f^H 
PEAS. (German, Erbse; French, Pois.) 
Of the numbers printed against the Peas, 1 indicates first early class; 2, second early; and 3, late class. Those 
marked with a star (*) are wrinkled varieties, the sweetest of all, but, being liable to rot, need to be planted tnicKei 
and later than the round sorts. 
Very Dwarf. (Under one foot. These very low varieties require no sticking.) , 
While the tall sort will run too much to vine if liberally manured (it being better to depend upon the richness oi 
land that has been previously in good cultivation), the dwarf varieties, on the contrary, will bear pretty lioerai 
manuring. Have the dwarfs, that grow not over fifteen inches high, in rows two feet apart; those varieties attain¬ 
ing the height of from two to three feet, in rows three feet apart; and the rows of the tallest sort, four leet apart. 
One quart to 100 feet. Seventy samples planted at same time in our experimental garden gave us a continuous 
supply for six weeks for family use.
