COLE'S VEGETABLE SEEDS. 37 PEAS. Ger. Erbsen. Fr Pais. One quart will sow 100 feet of dHll. The Pea is extremely ;; will endure cold, frosty weather without harm, and may there- fore be sown very early in the spring. Generally the earliest sown succeed the best. Sow the dwarf varieties that grow not over twelve inches high in rows two feet apart; those varie- ties that attain the heighth of two or three feet in rows three feet apart, and the rows of the tallest sort, four feet apart. The dwarf varie- ties should he liberaly manured; the tall sorts will run too much to vine if too freely manured. Bush the tall kinds when six inches high. The height of the Pea depends much on the moisture and richness of the ground. Peas should be covered from four to six inches deep. In dry weather the Peas should be soaked five or six hours before planting, and if the ground is very dry, pour water in the drills before sowing the seed, which will cause them to grow at once should the season continue dry. The wrinkled varieties rot more easily than the smooth sorts, iind therefore should not be sown at the first possible moment, when the ground is liable again to freeze up, though hardier sorts may with safety. All wrinkled Peas are superior in flavor to the smooth sorts, and they remain much longer in season. Our Seed Peas are of the very best, all North- ern Grown, and will not fail to please the most critical. If wanted by express or freight deduct for postage S cts., per pU. 15 cts., per qt.

Seed round and green, well filled, often seven to nine peas in a pod. The dark green color of the pods makes it extremely desirable, as it can be carried long distanc
