. Annual catalogue vegetable, field & flower seeds. Nursery stock New York (State) Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. IS O. W. CLARK & SON, BUFFALO, NEW PEAS. French, Pois. German, ©r&fen. Spanish, Chicaros o Guisantes. Culture.—One quart for 75 feet of drill, 2 to 3 bushels for an acre. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for a general crop, a deep, rich loam, or inclining to clay, is the best. When grown in the garden, sow in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart. When grown for a market crop, sow in single rows, 1 inch apart and 2 to 3 inches deep, the rows from 2 to 4 feet apart, according to the variety. Begin sowing the extra-early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked in March; continue for a suc- cession every two weeks until June, then discontinue until the middle of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra-early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean, and earthed up twice during growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the smooth sorts, and if planted early should have a dry soil, as 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. EXTRA-EARLY PEAS. Gradus. Earliest large-podded Pea in cultivation. Table quality quite equal to Qt. Pk. Bus. Telephone.
