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

 When gniwii for a market crop sow in single rows, 1 incii 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 inclies apart, the tall ones re- 

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

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

 a good cro|) may be secured by sowing 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 j)lanted 

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

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

 planted in rows 1 foot apart.
