GARDEN ptAC _ The Cultivation of the Garden Pea. —The smooth round-seeded extra early varieties of Peas are generally the very 
^ j "T 1 , hrst P e . sown spring, and should be sown as soon as the ground is fit to be worked. The wrinkled sorts are 
not so hardy, and should not be planted before the ground has warmed up to a certain degree. The tall varieties require brush or other suitable 
support, but by selecting sorts that do not grow oyer 2 ft. the necessity of providing brush may be eliminated. A careful selection of varieties and 
a frequent planting for succession will insure a continuous crop of peas from June until the early frosts. The seed should be sown in rows 3 ft. apart 
and 3 in. deep, and should be planted at the rate of 1 qt. of the smoother sorts to 100 ft. of drill and 1 qt. of the wrinkled varieties to 80 running 
feet. Cultivate similarly to corn or beans. The taller sorts may be planted in double drills and brush placed between for a support. For best results 
all garden peas require good, fertile soil and abundant moisture Much success has been attained by the use of only the very earliest dwarf peas 
by making plantings ten days apart from early spring until the last of July. 
When ordering Peas to be sent by mail add postage at zone rates. Average weight, 1 pt. equals 1 lb.; 1 qt. equals 2 lb.

months, and who can, with this sturdy Pea, raise supplies for
