PEAS 
Two lbs. of peas will plant 100 feet of 
drill; 96 lbs. to the acre. 
Peas succeed best in light, rich soil. 
The early round, smooth varieties 
should be planted as early in spring 
as possible, while the wrinkled sorts, 
which are more tender, will do better 
if planted after the ground becomes 
warmer. Sow in drills 2 to 3 feet apart, 
according to variety, and cover early 
sowing about 2 inches; later plantings 
should be covered 3 to 4 inches. Suc- 
cessive plantings can be made every 
ten days up to the middle of July. 
For the later plantings the early 
varieties are preferred. 
Free Delivery. We will prepay Parcel 
Post charges on cash orders at quoted 
catalog prices on Peas, up to two 
pounds, anywhere in the United 
States, east of the Mississippi River; 
for larger quantities, the purchaser 
pays transportation charges.
