GARDEN PEAS. 
Culture—Plant as early as the ground can be worked in the spring. Peas will not 
reach perfection if planted after May 1st, although they will make a fair crop. They should 
be well rooted before warm weather begins. If planted during February and March they 
will mature before the aphis get started. 
TALL VARIETIES.

equal in size to the Telephone, and mature 
along with Gradus. The peas are dark

the best for home use and canning. The 
vines, which grow about four feet high, are 
very strong and vigorous, and produce 
heavy yields. We have a very large trade
