GARDEN PEAS 
t 3 CULTURE—Plant as early as the ground can be worked in the spring. Peas will not reach perfec- 
- tion if planted after May lst, although they will make a fair crop. They should be well rooted before 
warm weather begins. If planted during February and March, they will mature before the aphis get 
started. Our Northwest grown seed is acclimated and will give better results, Pea seed planted in 
winter months should be treated with Semesan. Where peas have not previously been grown on the 
land it is valuable to use NITRAGIN. For seed treatment we recommend Spergon, if Nitragin is used.
