New Principles of Gardening. 
Thefe degenerate Peafe are by the Gardiners called Rogues, 
and are difcovered by the Over-ranknefs of their Haulm, as 
well as by their late and untimely Produce. . 
The Reafon why I mention thefe degenerate Peafe is, that 
you may take a careful Survey of them amongft all your Peafe 
intended for Seed: For if they are not carefully pricked out 
from the others, but are fuffer'd to mix therewith, your Kind 
will immediately be worth. nothing, and very much deceive 
every one that fows' the famié- 
The other’ Kinds of Peafe, as the Marrow Pea, the fugar'd 
Poland, the Roncival, ec. are alfo fubje& to’ the like Dege- 
neracy; which with a very little Care may be eafily pre- 
vented:

The large Kinds of Peafe are fown in Drills, as 1 directed 
for the large Kind of white French Beans, wz. in double 
Drills about fixteen or eighteen Inches apart, with Alleys be- 
tween them of two Feet and half, or three Feet wide, and are 
ftuck with high Branches of Trees, @c. for them to run up; 
which they in general delight todo, and will bear plenti- 
fully, which they never will do if not flaked up, of if planted 
nearer, and have not fufficient Air. 
The large Kinds of Peafe muft not be fown or drop’d near- 
er to each other in the Drills than three Inches, for they 
break out into many Shoots when above Ground, and become 
very thick and fruitful...
