 Culture. Peas of extra early, smooth class are the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring. 

 The wrinkled sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. Tall late varieties need brush or 

 other support. By selecting sorts that do not grow much over two feet high, the necessity of providing 

 brush may be avoided. Judicious selection of varieties and planting frequently for succession will give a 

 'full supply of the choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the possible exception of the 

 hottest part of the summer. Open furrows three or four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter the seed 

 Peas into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate like corn or beans. The late tall sorts may be 

 planted in double rows and brush stuck in between them for support. All Garden Peas, however, require 

 good, strong and fertile land. Heavy yields cannot be obtained on Poor soil. The very dwarfest sorts of 

 the American Wonder type will succeed only on the very richest garden land, and may be planted in rows 

 a foot apart. 



4®°"Those Marked With A. Star (*) are wrinkled marrows , and unless otlierwise stated should be 

 sown thicker than the round Peas, and not until the ground has become warm as they are more liable to rot. 

 They are the finest flavored of all Peas.
