September to November for winter, and January to March for spring 
and summer frops.

Peas are a fine vegetable and therefore are very generally culti- 
vated. Itis 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 
large crop without being in rich ground. Peas have to be planted 
drills twoinches deep and from two to three feet apart, according to 
e 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 Augustand September for fall. During Novemberand Decem- 
ber we plantthe Marrowfats ; January and February, as late as March, 
all kinds can be planted, but for the latter month only the earliest 
varieties should be used, as the late varieties will get mildewed before 
they bring acrep. Peas will bear much better if some brush or rods 
are stuck in the drills to support them, except the very dwarf 
kinds.
