HoLLow Crown, OR SUGAR. 
Should be sown in deep, mellow soil, deeply spaded, as the roots 
are long. in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart ; when the plants are 
three inches high thin out to three inchesapart in the row. Sow from 
September to November for winter, and January to March for spring 
and summer crops. 
The Hollow Crown, or Sugar, is the kind generally culti- 
vated ; it possesses all the good qualities for which other varieties are 
recommended.

Peas are a fine vegetable, and therefore are very generally culti- 
vated. It is best to plant in ground manured the previous year, else 
they will make more vines than peas. Asa general thing the dwarf 
kinds require richer ground than the tall growing varieties. Marrow- 
fat Peas planted in rich ground will not bear well, but they produce 
finely in sandy, light soil. 
The Extra Early, Tom Thumb, or Laxton’s Alpha will not produce 
a large crop without being in rich ground. Peas have to be planted 
in drills two inches deep and from two to three feet apart, according 
to the height they may grow. Tom Thumb can be planted one foot 
apart, whereas White Marrowfat or Champion of England require 
three feet. The Extra Early, Alpha and Tom Thumb can be planted 
during August and September for fall. During November and Decem- 
ber we plant the Marrowfats ; January.and February, as lateas March, 
all kinds ean be planted, but for the latter month only the earliest 
varieties should be used, as the late varieties will get mildewed before 
they bring a crop. Peas will bear much better if some brush or rods 
are stuck in the drills to support them, except the very dwarf kinds.
