KENDALL & WHITNEY, PORTLAND, MAINE 
GARDEN PEAS 
Two pounds will plant 75 to 100 feet of drill; from 84 to 112 pounds to the acre. 
By mail add 8c per lb. for postage. 
For better peas inoculate with Nitragin or Nod-O-Gen—See Page 21. 
Peas, for an early crop, should be sown as soon 
as the ground is in working condition. The soil 
for their reception should be light, dry and well 
sheltered. Mild manure has a beneficial effect, but 
for many of the varieties the soil cannot be too 
rich. For general crops the ground should be 
well-manured the previous year, which causes 
them to yield more abundantly. When grown as a 
market crop, peas are never staked, and are grown 
in single rows, two or three inches deep, and from 
2 to 3 feet apart, according to the variety or 
strength of the soil. When grown in small quanti¬ 
ties for private use, they are generally sown in 
double rows, six or eight inches apart and the tall 
varieties staked up by brush.
