. Dreer's garden book / Henry A. Nursery Catalogue. A good vegetable garden will materially reduce the weekly food bill. Home grown vege- tables are always Pais, Fr. GARDEN PEAS Guisanie, Sp. Erbsen, Ger. One pound will plant fifty feet of drill. Culture—The very earliest sowing of peas may be made as early in March as the gardener can prepare a piece of ground because subsequent frosts do not hurt the young plants, especially those of the extra early smooth-seeded varieties. Sow in single or double rows 24 to 26 inches apart, covering seeds about 2 inches deep. All varieties do better with some sort of support. Where the brush is lacking, poles and twine may be utilized. By selecting varieties maturing in succession (and it is easy to pick them out from the following pages because they are listed in about the same order as they reach full size), a constant supply of delicious peas may be had from early in June until middle of August. Experience has proven that sowings made after middle of May are not as successful as the earlier ones because hot midsummer heat is apt to cut short both vines and pods. Smooth Seeded Extra Early Sorts The hardiest sorts, to be planted as soon as the soil can be put in condition. 618 Alaska. An extra early round blue Pea, height, 2 feet. Very uniform and a favorite canning variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ lb., 20 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 65 cts.; 5 lbs., $, prepaid. 635 Dreer's Eureka Extra Early. One of the earliest and most prolific extra early varieties, which has given good results wherever grown.
