PEAS 
ABOUT PEAS 
My seed peas are northern grown, 
the quality is exceptionally good, and 
they are free from weevils. The best 
that grows. Plant the smooth varie¬ 
ties just as soon as you can get into the ground. The wrinkled varieties 
should be planted a little later. If you want to try a fall crop, use the 
early sorts, planting them about the middle of August. One pound of seed 
will plant a row 50 feet long. Peas should be inoculated for bigger crops.

PEPPERS 
ABOUT PEPPERS 
Peppers do well 
on any soil except 
that which is too 
low and too wet. 
Give them plenty of 
room for best re- 
suits. I like to 
start them in the 
house or in the hot 
bed and from then 
on handle them just 
as you would to¬ 
matoes. One ounce 
will make 1500 
plants.
