Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for a general crop, a rich deep loam, or inclining to clay, is the best.. 

 AVh^n grown for a market crop sow in single rows, 1 inch apart and 2 to 3 inches deep, the rows from 2 to 4 feet 

 apart, according to the variety. When grown in gardens sow in double rows, 6 to 8 inches apart, the tall ones re- 

 quiring brush. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or 

 March, continue for a succession every two weeks until June, then discontinuing until the middle of August, when 

 a good crop may be secured by sowin<; the extra early and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean, and 

 earthed up twice during growth. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the small hard sorts, and if planted 

 early should have a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground ; they are, however, the sweetest and best 

 flavored varieties. 'I'he dwarf varieties are best suited from their habit for small gardens or for forcing, and can be 

 planted in rows 1 foot apart. 



breer's Eureka Extra Early. The earliest and most 

 prolific variety. This sort has given the best results 

 wherever grown and is a standard for earliness and 

 quality. It is an even cropper and can be gathered

 when the space is wanted for repeated cropping. For 

 a late fall croj) it has few equals, and is the market 

 gardener's favorite for all seasons; height, 20 inches.
