For first early Peas sow in a light, rich soil, as early in March or 

 April as the ground can be worked; for later varieties, sow in April 

 or May. Discontinue sowing from June to August, after which, by 

 sowing an extra early sort, a good crop can generally be secured. As 

 Peas suffer considerably from drought during the hot summer months, 

 it will be found of great benefit to sow in a trench six inches in depth, 

 covering the Peas to a depth of two inches. As soon as sufficient 

 growth has been made, draw the earth about the vines. In this way 

 more moisture is kept about the roots than if sown on the level. The 

 wrinkled varieties are not so hardy as the smooth sorts, and should 

 be planted later, owing to their liability to rot in the ground. 



One quart to 100 feet of drill. Two bushels to an acre in drills.
