PEAS. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for the general crop a moderately heavy soil is best. Com- mence sowing the early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, continue for a succession every two weeks until June. It is a good plan to sow the early, second early and late varieties at the same time for a succession. One quart for 100 feet of drill; two to three bushels for an acre. The wrinkled varieties are more susceptible to cold wet weather than the small, round hard sorts, hence should not be planted very early except in warm, dry locations. They are sweeter and better flavored. In comparing prices, please bear in mind that our prices are postage paid by us, on pints and quarts, and if ordered by express, purchasers may deduct 15 cents per quart from prices named. Peck and bushel rates are by express or freight, purchasers paying charges- EXTRA EARLY SORTS. .Matchless WonderâA new extra early wrinkled Pea, as early as Alaska and as sweet as Champion of England.

GradusâAn English variety of the wrinkled Peas It is very hardy, so much so that, unlike most of its type, it can be planted extremely early. The vine grows about 2^2 feet high, is vigorous and very productive. The pods are large and well filled with good sized Peas, 7 to 9 usually in a pod.

Gregory's SurpriseâThis extra early wrinkled Pea is a cross between Laxton's Earliest of All and American Wonder. It is as early as the earliest of the hard Peas, and as heavy a cropper, while at the same time it possesses that peculiar sweetness which belongs to the wrinkled varieties. The Surprise grows about 20 inches high on rich gar- den soil. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 50c, pk. $2.00.
