Ger. Erbsen . Fr. I'ois. Onf (fiiarf rviil son: 100 feet rjf drill. The Pea is extremely hardy; will endure cold, frosty weather without harm, and may there- fore be sown very early in the spring. Gener- ally the earliest sown succeed the best. Sow tlie dwarf A-arieties in rows two feet apart; those varieties that attain the height of two o? three feet in rows three feet apart, and the rows of the tallest sort, four feet apart. The dwarf varieties should be liberally mnuured-. 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 ground. Peas should be covered from four to six inches deep. In dry weather the Peas should be soalied five or six hours before plant- ing, and if the ground is very dry, pour water in the drills before sow^ing the seed. The wrinkled varieties rot more easily than the smooth sorts, and therefore should not be sown so early 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 IV anted by express or freight, deduct for postage 8 cts. per pt., 15 cts. per qt.
