SWEET POTATO PLANTS 
Ready in June. 
Red, Yellow. Each variety, 100 $1.50,

^ One quart will plant 
about 100 feet of drill 
Peas do best in a light, rich soil; for private use sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 
the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early 
varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in March; continue for a succession every two 
weeks until June. A good crop can be secured by sowing the extra early sorts in August for 
Fall use. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round sorts, and if planted 
early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, the 
sweetest and best flavored.
