PEAS (Cir 



bi'cn) 



All smooth-seeded Peas maj' be planted as early in the spring 

 as tlie soil cau be prepared for them, being very liarily. Sow for 

 the tirst crop as early as practicable, and for successions at inter- 

 vals of about two weeks until June. Late sowings, however, do 

 not yield so well as early ones. Sow in drills about 2 to 3 inches 

 deep, and from 2 to 4 feet apart, according to variety, taller sorts 

 requiring more room than dwarf ones. Dwarf Peas require a very 

 rich soil, while taller ones thrive best in rather thin ground. The 

 latter are frequently sown in double rows, with the brush, or sup- 

 port, of some kind between them. Wiinkled Peas aie not so 

 hardy as the smooth sorts, and should not be sown quite so early, 

 but are superior to them in quality, more delicate in flavor. an(l 

 remain longer in season. One quart of seed will plmt about K'O 

 feet of drill.
