Painesville, Ohio RELIABLE GARDEN SEEDS 
PEAS 
CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for general 
crop a moderately heavy soil is best. Commence sowing early varie- 
ties as soon as’ground can be worked, continue for a succession 
every two weeks until June. Sow the early, second early and late 
varieties qt the same time for a succession. Sow seed 2, 3 or 4 
inches deep, according to early, medium or late season, an inch 
apart; dwarf kinds in rows 2 to 24 feet apart, 3 to 4 feet for tall 
kinds. One pound for 100 feet of drill; 110 to 175 pounds for an 
acre. The wrinkled varieties are more susceptible to cold, wet 
weather than the small, round, hard sorts, hence should not be 
planted very early except in warm, dry locations. Brush can be used 
to advantage on all varieties but the various dwarf growing sorts 
take care of themselves very well without. The crop should be gath- 
ered as fast as it is fit for use. If even a few pods begin to ripen, 
not only will new pods cease to grow, but those partly advanced 
will stop growing. 
Prices of Peas, postpaid: 
Pkt. 10c; 1 Ib. 25c; 1 Ib. 45c¢; 2 Ibs. 80c; 5 Ibs. $1.75.
