PEAS. 



CULTURE. — Peas are a fine vegetable, and therefore are very generally cultivated. 

 It is best to plant in ground manured the previous season, else they will make more 

 vines than peas. As a general thing the dwarf kinds require richer ground than the 

 tall growing varieties. Marrowfat Peas, planted in rich ground, will not bear well, but 

 they produce well in sandy light soil. The Extra Early and Alaska 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. Premium 

 Gem can be planted one foot apart, whereas the Carter's Telephone or Champion of 

 England require three feet. The Extra Early and Early Washington can be planted 

 during August and September for Fall. During November and December we plant the 

 Marrowfat; January and February, or as late as March, all kinds can be planted: but 

 i'or 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. Sow one 

 pound to 50-foot drill, li/^ to 2 bushels per acre. For insects use Black Leaf No. 40, 

 see page 98. ,, , ; j' ^iMMHiM
