PEAS. 
Postage to be Paid by Purchaser. See Parcel Post Rates on Front Page. 
Peas succeed in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and dwarf sorts require richer soil than the late varieties. 
If manure is used let it be old and well rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. 
Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled 
varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold and must be planted later. Sow all the varieties 
quite early and depend for succession upon the different times of ripening of the various sorts, or from 
the pa sowing sow every two weeks until June for a succession. One-half pound to 100 feet; 2 bushels 
to the acre.

BEETS. 
The soil best suited to the Beet is a deep, light and rich loam. For very early crops, the seed is 
sown in hotbeds, and the seedlings are transplanted to the open ground. For main crop, the seed is 
sown outside as soon as the soil is in good condition, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and covered 
about an inch deep; the plants are thinned to stand 4 or 5 inches apart in the rows. \For winter crops, 
sow seed in June, in drills, as for early Beets. An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; five or six 
pounds will sow an acre.
