I HENRrADREER-PNIlADELPtl^'M^WMlABLE VEGETABLE SEED5 GARDEN PEAS. One qirart will plant about 100 feet of drill. One and a half bushels for one acre. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil ; for general crop, a rich deep loam, or inclining to clay, is the best. When grown in gardens sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March ; continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra early and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean and earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small round sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, however, the sweetest and best-flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best suited for small gardens or for forcing, planted in rows 1 foot apart. Packets of all varieties of Peas at 10 cts. each, postpaid. Add for postage on Peas 8 cts. per pint, 15 cts. per quart. Larger quantities sent by express or freight at purchaser's expense. EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. Dreer'S Extra Early Electric.
