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 Harly and Barly 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 
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. Sow one 
pound to 50-foot drill, 14% to 2 bushels per acre. For insects use Black Leaf No. 40, 
see page 98.
