to germinate. Soil should be worked fine and seed

Excelsior 
Peas from your own garden picked only 
an hour or two before eating are twice 
as sweet as those you would purchase. 
Try them and you will be convinced. 
Culture—A Planting should be made 
every 10 days from earliest spring until 
hot weather. Another planting in late 
summer for fall, often gives good results. 
The extra early smooth seeded yarieties 
are hardy and may be planted as early 
as the soil can be worked, the wrinkled 
: varieties a little later. One pound should 
Early Cropper sow a 50 foot row, 120 to 180 lbs. an acre.

2, ft. apart. Drop the shelled nuts 8 to 10 inches 
apart, cover 1 inch deep. When the plants are 
nearly full grown throw earth up to them. This 
will cause the nuts to form.

Inoculate your Peas, Beans 
and Sweet Peas 
All Legumes, plants that bear their seed in pods, form 
a partnership at the base of the roots with bacteria 
that are able to secrete nitrogen and give it to the 
plant. 
Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas belong to the Legume 
family and therefore should be inoculated with 
NITRAGIN to stimulate the germs. The Bacteria 
will form on the roots like lumps or nodules, making 
more productive crops. 
NITRAGIN is an old reliable Inoculator and is used 
by Agricultural Colleges. It is packed in a rich soil-like 
granular medium, easy to mix with your seed. Inocu- 
late for Good Yield.

Parsley 
Culture—Parsley seed is slow to germinate and 
soaking a day before sowing will hasten growth. 
Cover only 4 inch deep and do not let the soil 
crust over the surface. Thin the plants to stand 
4 to 6 inches apart, and you can start cutting the 
leaves as soon as they are sizable. Make several 
sowings of Parsley seed to have a continual supply 
of fresh leaves. One ounce should sow a 150 ft. 
row. Our standard packets will contain 7 to 4% 
ounce of seed.
