Plant early in rows north and south — April 1st is none too soon, if the ' 



• ground will work. Make a trench twelve inches deep and fifteen inches wide. 

 i Work into the soil in bottom of trench plenty of well-rotted manure, fill eight 

 i inches of trench with fine soil and sow the Peas, covering one inch deep (if 

 « about April 1st), in two rows ten inches apart and seeds two inches apart in the 



i rows; if planted later, cover deeper. When well up, fill in with earth gradually ' 

 « as they grow until the trenches are full. The object is to get the roots well T 



• down so that they may resist drought. Give plenty of water, pick the blooms ' 



• without stint, and do not let run to seed. Use brush or trellis five or six feet * ■ 



• high.
