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. As a 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 December we 

 plant the Marrowfats ; January and February, as late as March, all kinds 

 can be planted, but for the latter month only the earliest varieties
