(350 seeds per oz.) 
Winter Peas are almost indispensable for the retail grower— 
and when well grown, most any wholesale market will welcome 
a reasonable amount of them. To be profitable though, they 
must be grown in sterilized soil and sown early enough to get 
the vines sufficiently hardened to hold buds for winter flower- 
ing. With us this is early July—tlater further south. Our 
monthly ‘Grower Talks’ (2 years $1.00) gives timely cultural 
details.
