not fet very contrary. Some people fow double rows 

 of peas at ten inches or a foot afunder, and fet flicks 

 only in the middle, earthing the peas towards them. 

 Peas that are to grow without flicks, may be fown, 

 the fmaller forts are two, and the larger at three feet 

 afunder. But ufe flicks if poflible. 



The beginning of December, more peas may be 

 fown, and towards the end of January, or the begin- 

 ning of February, in order to have a full ftipply at the 

 Kilt of the feafon : The earlieft opportunity in the nciu 

 year mould be taken, if thofe fown before have been 

 cut ofF, or greatly injured. Peas fown at the begin- 

 ning of February are often not a week behind thofe of 

 November. Peas fown in the winter months in cold 

 wet foils, may have fome coarfe fand dug in the drills, 

 to preferve them from rotting, and otherwife help

 which may be continued till the middle of July,- "when

 dwarf pea, for it's fmall fize, is admired at genteel 

 tables, and is Tweet and fruitful; but rather longer m

 for the lateft crops in open ground. It requires flicks 

 only from two to three feet high; and may be fown.
