AND PRICE LIST. 4i PEAS. French, Pois; German, Erbse; Spanish, Guisante. While almost any soil will produce good Peas, yet, like most other vegeta- bles, they respond to liberal treatment and careful cultivation. Well-rotted stable manure and bone dust make excellent fertilizers for this crop. Deep plowing is of the greatest importance. For early Peas, plant as soon as the ground can be worked, in light, well-drained soil and a sunny exposure. For the main crop, a heavier soil may be selected. They are usually planted in double rows, about four feet apart, and three inches deep. Bush those that require it, when six inches high. The field crop may be sown broadcast. Our Garden Peas have been grown from selected seed, are true to name, have been carefully hand-picked, and are fit for gar- deners' use at once. We ask our customers not to confound them with the common Peas usually found in the market at a low price, which are only fit for field use, or for feeding stock. Our list includes the best kinds, and is sufficiently varied to meet the wants of all. FIRST AND BEST.—Uusurpassed for early and even ripening.
