GARDEN PEAS 
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 re- 
quiring 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. 
Prices of Peas unless otherwise noted are 
as follows: 14 Ib. 10c., 14 Ib. 15c., Ib. 25c., 
5 Ibs. $1.10, 10 Ibs. $2.00.
