CULTURE.—Peas of extra early, smooth class are the very first thing to be planted in the garden in spring. The wrinkled 
sorts follow a little later, as they are not quite so hardy. ‘Tall late varieties need brush or other support. By selecting sorts that 
do not grow much over two feet high, the necessity of providing brush may beavoided. Judicious selection of varieties and plant- 
ing frequently for succession will give a full supply of the 
choicest green Peas almost during the entire season, with the 
possible exception of the hottest part of the summer. Open 
furrows three or four inches deep and three feet apart; scatter 
the seed Peas into them and cover with hoe or plow. Cultivate 
like corn or beans. The late tall sorts may be planted in double 
rows and brush stuck in between for support. All Garden 
Peas, however, require good, strong and fertile land. Heavy 
yields cannot be obtained on poor soil. The very dwarfest sorts 
of the American Wonder type will succeed only on the very 
richest garden land, and may be planted in rows a foot apart. 
Material for inoculating Peas will be found offered 
on page 50.
