PEAS. (Erbsen.) 



Owing to their great hardiness, they can be planted just as soon as 

 they can be put in the ground in 

 the spring — they will endure a 

 great deal of cold either before or 

 after sprouting. By sowing as 

 early as practicable, and making 

 continued sowings at intervals of 

 about two weeks, a succession of 1 

 good peas can be had almost dur- 

 ing the entire summer. Late sow- 

 ing, however, do not yield so well 

 as the early, hot and dry weather 

 being against their perfect de- 

 velopment. Sow in drills two to 

 three inches deep and from two to 

 four feet apart, according to 

 variety — narrow for the dwarf and 

 wide for the tall-growing sorts. 

 Dwarf sorts require exceedingly 

 rich soil, while the very tall kinds 

 must have only ordinary soil, 

 otherwise they grow too much in 

 stalk; the latter also require rod- 

 ding. Wrinkled varieties are 

 always superior in quality, more 

 delicate in flavor, and remain 

 longer in season. The wrinkled 

 appearance, as in sugar corn, in- 

 dicates a greater amount of sac- 

 charine matter. They are, how- 

 ever, not so hardy as the smooth- 

 seeded sorts. The * denotes 

 wrinkled varieties.
