HOME-GROWN GREEN PEAS, THE EPICURE’S DELIGHT 

Garden Peas 
Peas do best in a light, rich loamy soil 
that has been liberally manured the previous 
season. Plant the smooth varieties as early 
as the ground can be worked. The wrinkled 
Peas are not as hardy as the smooth kinds, 
and should be planted later; they are, how- 
ever, sweeter and better flavored. For a 
succession, plant every two weeks—until 
June 1—then discontinue until August 1, 
when the extra-early varieties may be planted 
for a fall crop. When grown in gardens, sow 
in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 
= ar feet apart, the tall ones requiring 
rush. 
One pound will plant about 50 feet of drill

Choice Seed Potatoes 
(CERTIFIED STOCK) 
By planting our northern-grown Seed 
Potatoes you are assured of early maturity, 
increased yield, and a vigorous growth. Plant 
in early spring, in rows 3 feet apart, 15 to 
18 inches apart in row. Cultivate constantly 
and thoroughly, finally ridging the loose soil 
against the rows. A second or later spring 
planting is often made. Our Potatoes are all 
specially raised for seed purposes, true to 
name, and are exceptionally fine in quality. 
One peck will plant 100 hills; 10 to 12 bushels 
for an acre 
Prices for Potatoes on application 
Irish Cobbler. Round, pure white, extra 
early and of the best quality. Grows uni- 
formly large, there being fewer small 
Potatoes than in any other early kind. 
Our seed isthe genuine Irish Cobbler. 
Early Rose. The standard early variety; 
uniform in size and very productive. 
Russet. An exceptionally heavy yielder, of 
the very best table quality, and with

Maine. A large, oval, and slightly flat-

tween the crops obtained from high-grade 
Seed Potatoes free from disease, and 
from common Potatoes used for seed. 
The increase from the use of good seed 
is often over 100 bushels per acre. The 
cost for seed may be $8.00 to $10.00 per 
acre more, but that is nothing compared 
with the greater value of the crop.
