PEAS. 



German, Erbse. — French, Pois. — Spanish, Guizante. 

 One qwart idll plant about 100 feet of drill; 1 1-2 bushels for 1 acre. 



Peas luxuriate in a 

 free, light, rather rich 

 soil, abounding with 

 vegetable matter. The 

 ground should beman- 

 ured, if possible, the 

 previous autumn ; well 

 decomposed manure is 

 the most suitable, and 

 If applied at the time 

 of planting, it should 

 be thoroughly mixed 

 with the soil, especi- 

 ally in the bottom of 

 the drill. Plant the 

 early varieties as soon 

 as the ground can be 

 worked, the others in 

 succession from April 

 to June. For private 

 use they are generally 

 sown in double or 

 single rows, in drills 

 about 2 feet apart and 

 3 inches deep, for the 

 dwarf varieties, and 3 

 to 4 feet apart and 4 

 inches deep, for the 

 taller varieties. Those 

 growing over 2y^ feet 

 in height should be 

 bushed.

 ers will be supplied by
