Madison St., Chicago 27. GARDEN PEAS Peas succeed best in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and Dwarf sorts require richer soil than the iatp varieties. If manure is used, let it be old and well rotted, or there will be a rank growth of vines with few pods. Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early in spring as the ground can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold, and must be planted later. From the first sowing, sow every two weeks until June for a succession. Discontinue then until August, when a planting of extra early sorts will often produce a good crop. Sow the beed in drills 2V-i to 3 i'eet apart for dwarf sorts and four for tall sorts, or in double drills six or eight inches apart, " one inch apart in the drill, and not less than four inches deep, since deep plant- ing prevents mildew and prolongs the season. Cultivate well, and draw the earth twice to the vines during growth. Stake the tall varieties when they begin to vine. Pick the pods as soon as fit, and allow none to ripen on the vines, as they will then cease bearing. Most Peas do best when supported with brush or wire. Figures preceding descrip- tion of varieties indicate height. 2 lbs. will plant about 100 feet of drill. 60 lbs. to 100 lbs for an acre. We are now pricing Peas by the weight instead of measure. 1 lb. is a little more than 1 pint. 2 lbs. are a little more than 1 quart. Postage msut be added to price of Peas if wanted by mail. See second page of cover. Early Dwarf and Half Dwarf Smooth Varieties. Barnard's Leader. 3 ft. A round, smooth pea, in size similar to the First and Best, but more uniform and more prolific. Ma- tures very early. Make first planting as early in the spring as the ground will permit and cover well. Fkt., 10c; carton, 15c; lb
